Farming is moving indoors，where the sun never shines，where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right.The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light，temperature，wetness，air quality and nutrition.It could be in a New York high­rise or a sprawling complex in the Saudi desert.It may be an answer to the world's food problems.

The world already is having trouble feeding itself.Half the people on Earth live in cities，and nearly half of those－ about 3 billion－are hungry or ill­fed.Foodprices，currently increasing，are buffeted by dryness，floods and the cost of energy required to plant，harvestand transport.And prices will only get more unstable.Climate change makes long­term crop planning uncertain.Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop.And the world is getting more crowded：by mid­century，the global population will grow from 6.8 billion to 9 billion.

To feed so many people may require expanding farmland　 at the expense of forests and wilderness，or finding ways to completely increase crop output.

Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of a greenhouse a step further，growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed (封闭的) and regulated environments.In their　 research station，water flows into the pans when needed，and the temperature is kept constant.Lights go on and off，creating similar day and night，but according to the rhythm of the plant.

A building of 100 square meters and layers (层) of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch，about 140,000 people.Their idea isn't to grow foods that require much space，like corn or potatoes.

Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful.Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow.Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions.They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture.And city farming means producing food near the consumer，and there's no need to transport it long distances.

1.What can we mainly learn from Paragraph 2?

A. The climate is worse and worse.

A desert is a beautiful land of silence and space. The sun shines, the wind blows, and time and space seem endless. Nothing is soft. The sand and rocks are hard, and many of the plants even have hard needles instead of leaves.

The size and location of the world's deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 years, deserts have been growing at a frightening speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the greatest makers are humans.

Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Mauritania is planting a similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital. Iran puts a thin covering of oil on sandy areas and plants trees. The oil keeps the water and small trees in the land, and men on motorcycles keep the sheep and goats away. The USSR and India are building long canals to bring water to desert areas.

1.In this passage, the underlined word “needles” refers to ________.

A．small, thin pieces of steel

B．long, thin pieces of branches

C．thin, hard, pointed leaf

D．small, thin pieces of sticks

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The greatest desert makers are human beings.

B．There aren't any living things in the deserts.

C．Deserts have been changing quickly.

D．The size of the deserts is always growing.

3.People in some countries are fighting a battle against ________.

A．the growth of deserts

B．desert climate

C．natural changes

D．the disappearance of desert

4.What does the author want to tell us?

A．Deserts are lands of hardness, silence and space.

B．The deserts of the world are changing from time to time.

C．Man is to take measures to control the growth of deserts.

D．Deserts have grown at a fast pace in the past 10 years.

Farming is moving indoors, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant (无关的) and where the climate is always right. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature，humidity，air quality and nutrition. It could be in a New York high- rise or a complex （建筑群） in the Saudi desert. It may be an answer to the world’s food problems.

The world already is having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities, and nearly half of those – about 3 billion – are hungry or ill–fed. Food prices, currently increasing, are badly affected by dryness, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more unstable. Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain. Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded: by mid-century, the global population will grow from 6.8 billion to 9 billion.

To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness, or finding ways to greatly increase crop output.

Gertjan Meeuws and three other Dutch bioengineers grow vegetables and house plants in closed and regulated environments. In their research station, water flows into the pans when needed, and the temperature is kept constant. Lights go on and off, creating “day” and “night”, but according to the rhythm of the plant.

Meeuws says a building of 100 square meters and layers of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables for the entire population of Ken Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea isn’t to grow foods that require much space, like corn or potatoes.

Sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow. Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the consumer, so there’s on need to transport it long distances.

1.According to the text, Gertjan Meeuws’ farming _______.

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about ?

3.What is the purpose of the text ?
