Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore. The small, Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming
revolution.
Singapore covers 724 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land is used for agriculture. Food
production costs are higher there than the rest of Southeast Asia. As climate change and population growth threaten
food supplies, the pressure is on new farmers to answer the government’s call—to grow more with less.
“Whenever I talk about food security in Singapore, I tell people not to think land-think space because you can go
upwards and sideways.”said Paul Teng, an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University.
There are more than 30 vertical(垂直的)farms in Singapore-ones that grow up not across the land. Sustenir
Agriculture is one of these businesses. Its hydroponic(水栽法的)farm grows non-native foods like cherry, tomatoes
and strawberries inside buildings under artificial lighting. Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online
stores. Sustenir raised $16 million from investors(投资人)last year. The money will be used to expand operations in
Singapore and open in Hong Kong.
However, not everyone thinks the new technology is best. Egg farmer Milliam Ho says the government should
not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses. “Many of them have failed. That’s why I’m always asking
the government, ‘Why don`t you invest in us old-timers?’ We are more practical,” he said. Professor Paul Teng said an
issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products too pricey for many people.
1．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．High food production costs.
B．Reasons for changes in agriculture.
C．Agricultural technology businesses.
D．Sale expansion of food markets.
2．According to Paul Teng, the way to achieve food security is
A．expanding farmland upwards
B．buying more food
C．developing facilities
D．investing more money
3．What do we know about the old-timers?
A．They work on high-tech farms.
B．They benefit from pricey products.
C．They need government’s support.
D．They reduce production costs.
4．What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To criticize people’s traditional view of farming.
B．To support the growth of vertical farming in Singapore.
C．To introduce the latest development in Singapore’s agriculture.
D．To emphasize the importance of traditional agriculture.
The UK’s planned ban on sales of new petrol, diesel (柴油) or hybrid (混合动力) cars could start as early as
2032, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has said. Last week, the government raised industry concern after bringing
the date forward from 2040 to 2035 in order to hit zero-carbon emission targets. But Mr. Shapps told BBC Radio 5
live it would happen by 2035, “or even 2032,” adding there would be consultation.
The main car trade body had previously said the 2035 figure was “concerning”.
The government is setting out its proposals in a United Nations climate summit in November. A Department for
Transport spokesperson said, “We are consulting on a range of possible dates to bring forward the end to the sale of
petrol and diesel cars.”
“The proposal for this is 2035 — or earlier if a faster transition appears reasonable — as well as including
hybrids for the first time.” The UK has set a target of emitting zero carbon by 2050. Experts warned that the original
target date of 2040 would still leave old conventional cars on the roads 10 years later. Once the ban comes into effect,
only electric cars will be available. Hybrid vehicles are now included in the proposals, which were originally
announced in July 2017.
Despite this, Royal Automobile club spokesman Simon Williams said, “While the government appears to be
constantly moving forward for ending the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles, drivers should not be worried
about choosing a hybrid car now.” “They are potentially the perfect stepping stone for those who want to go electric
but have concerns about range (续航), as they aren’t as expensive as a battery electric vehicle. At the moment, they
give drivers the best of both worlds.”
How attached are British people to their petrol vehicles? How long until conventional cars go the way of steam
engine cars and horse coaches?
5．What is the car industry's attitude towards the ban on the sale of conventional cars?
A．Ambiguous. B．Indifferent. C．Worried. D．Approving.
6．Why does the UK propose to ban the sale of conventional cars before 2040?
A．To remove the concern of main car trade body.
B．To hold back the development of pure battery electric cars.
C．To hold a United Nations climate summit in November.
D．To meet the zero carbon emission target as planned.
7．What is Simon's opinion when people face the ban of conventional cars?
A．It's still a wise choice to choose a hybrid car nowadays.
B．Battery electric cars should be widely used immediately.
C．Drivers should consider about range when choosing a car.
D．People should abandon petrol vehicles as soon as possible.
8．What can we infer about the conventional cars from the last paragraph?
A．They will fall out of use some day. B．They are as important as horse coaches.
C．They will remain as a family necessity. D．They may increase your daily expenses.
For the first time in two years, our school held a Halloween homecoming dance. This year’s homecoming was
around a recent soccer victory against the neighboring school. Everyone was in a particularly festive mood.
At the same time, for a safer gathering during the COVID-19, we were required to hold the dance outdoors if we
wanted to go mask-free. This was unfortunate because temperatures in Boston were expected to be no higher than
10℃ that night. Later, I realized that the cold was the least of my worries.
We sent apology letters out to the neighbors surrounding the school and told them to expect loud music on Oct
29. Then on that Friday night, members of the Student Union gathered together to decorate the tent provided by the
school as a protection from the cold.
After two hours of blowing balloons, putting fake spider webs on trees and setting up the food table, people
started showing up in their costumes. I ran away to the bathroom to dress up. Having seen all the news about Asian
hate in the US, I decided that it was important to present Asian spirit — thus I proudly dressed myself up in a
traditional Chinese qipao.
When I got outside again, the dance was in full swing. There was a DJ spinning songs, and the lights were
flashing away, though no one was on the dance floor yet. However, things took a sharp turn when a familiar song —
Gangnam Style by South Korean singer Psy — came on, and the dance floor was never empty again until the end of
the evening. With every beat drop, the crowd jumped crazily to the beat, and I followed along. My feet hurt so much
at the end of the evening, but I’ll admit that it was worth all of the excitement I experienced.
9．What can we learn about the homecoming dance?
A．It was our school’s first-ever homecoming. B．It was celebrated after a sports victory.
C．It was held to fight against COVID-19. D．It aimed to compete with another school.
10．What was the challenge they had faced in preparation?
A．Requirements for mask wearing outdoors. B．A lack of decorating materials.
C．Noise complaints from neighbors. D．Low temperature at night.
11．Why was the author dressed herself in qipao?
A．To stop Asian hate. B．To promote Halloween spirit.
C．To show Asian culture. D．To show her uniqueness.
12．What docs the underlined phrase “in full swing” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Going well and strong. B．Getting well prepared.
C．Getting started officially. D．Being in an awkward silence.
Incredibly Beautiful Villages in China
Likeng Village
Built in the year 1010, Likeng Village in Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province preserves the area’s unique Hui

Ming-and Qing-era architecture.
