Vertical(垂直的) farming is a hugely promising agricultural technique that aims to produce more food to meet the growing population on our planet. The technique includes growing in vertical frames or even in high-rise farms, saving on precious ground space, while moving farms into urban areas, creating vertical farming "towers" in buildings and producing nutritious crops without topsoil.
Climate change is affected by traditional and intensive(密集的) farming practices. Traditional farming needs a lot of space to tend livestock and rich soil to grow either food crops or feed for livestock. Typically, that means clearing forest or other wild habitats. But the arrival of vertical farming means that much less space can be used to feed more people quickly.
The United Nations estimates that the world's population will hit nearly 10 billion by the year 2050. Almost 70 percent of those people will live in and around cities. Vertical farming allows food production equipment to be built close to population centers rather than in rural areas. There food production can expand upwards rather than outwards. The crops raised also travel fewer miles to customers and can be grown fresh in urban surroundings, reducing the amount of per serving.
Growing crops indoors allows farmers to strictly control water, temperature, light conditions and maximize yield. Using colored LED lights allows farmers to aim at blue wavelengths to promote leaf growth and red light to encourage flowering. LED lights are also more efficient and produce less heat than traditional lights so as to cut down on energy wastage.
Of course, as the vertical farming industry expands, it is worth noting that it has limitations—it only works for some crops and is labor-intensive, plus startup technologies and urban locations can be expensive. Yet, the mix of traditional farming with high yield feeds more people with the same or fewer resources.
26、What can we infer about vertical farming from the first two paragraphs? ______
A．It can produce more nutritious crops.
B．It has made wild habitats disappear.
C．It has been a substitute for traditional farming.
D．It is more efficient and environmentally friendly.
27、What does the underlined word "livestock" in Paragraph 2 mean? ______
A．Plants. B．Animals. C．Fruits. D．Crops.
28、What is one of the functions of LED lights in vertical farming? ______
A．To help crops grow better.
B．To use more energy resources.
C．To control the total amount of crops.
D．To make leaves and flowers more beautiful.
29、How is the text developed? ______
A．By using diagrams. B．By telling stories.
C．By making comparisons. D．By giving examples.
30、According to the text, what is the author's attitude to vertical farming? ______
A．Critical. B．Indifferent. C．Pessimistic. D．Objective.
