“People still want plastic bottles, because they reseal and are lightweight，” said Ms Perez,
Coca Cola's head of sustainability.
The firm, which is one of the biggest producers of plastic waste, has claimed to use at least
50% recycled material in its packaging by 2030.
But environmental campaigners argue many Coke bottles would still go uncollected and end
up in landfill. Elsewhere, plastic were clogging up (堵塞)the seas, harming marine life.
The drinks giant produces about three million tonnes of plastic packaging a year －
equivalent to 200,000 bottles a minute. In 2019, it was found to be the most polluting brand in a
global audit (调查)of plastic waste.
But speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ms Perez said the firm recognized it
now had to be part of the solution.
However, Ms Perez said the firm could not ditch plastic outright, as some campaigners
wanted, saying this could hit sales. She also said using only aluminum and glass packaging could
push up the firm's carbon footprint. “Business won't be in business if we don't accommodate
consumers，” she added. “So as we change our bottling infrastructure, move into recycling and
innovate, we also have shown the consumer what the opportunities are. They will change with us.”
Ms Perez said she respected the idealism of youth activists and also agreed with calls for
Coca Cola to reach its environmental goals sooner than 2030－although she would not say
whether she would step down if the plans failed.
21．According to the text, what bad effects do plastic bottles have?
A．It is impossible to recycle plastic.
B．Plastic debris causes damage.
C．Plastic is seen as the most polluting material.
D．Plastic production leads to higher carbon footprint.
22．What does the underlined word “ditch” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A．give out B．give up
C．change D．doubt
23．What can we infer from Perez's words in Paragraph 6?

B．The question remains whether nonplastic bottles will affect market.
C．The firm creates whatever customers need.
D．Campaigners urge Coca Cola to solve the problem step by step.

Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore. The small, Southeast Asian nation is
leading a farming revolution, according to the Reuters news agency.
Singapore covers around 720 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land area
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 on new farmers is 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 about land—
think about 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 (无土栽培的)
farm grows nonnative 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 (投资者) last year. The money will be used to expand operations in
Singapore.
However, not everyone thinks the new technology is best. Egg farmer William 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 it doesn't invest in us oldtimers.
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.
24．What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A．High food production costs.
B．Reasons for changes in agriculture.
C．Agricultural technology businesses.
D．Sale expansion of food markets.
25．Which is the way to achieve food security according to Paul Teng?
A．Exploring more space.
B．Buying more food.
C．Enlarging farmland.
D．Investing more money.
26．What do we know about the oldtimers?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A．They work on hightech farms.
B．They benefit from pricey products.
C．They reduce production costs.
D．They need the government's support.
27．Where is this passage probably taken from?

Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience the farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy
AyersElliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms.
The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple. When AyersElliott returned to
her hometown after graduation, she didn't have to look any further than her state's alarming health
statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure,
diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified，” explains Ayers-
Elliott. “Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn't take research to see that.
And many of the state's greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”
These days, Foot Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables,
is making fresh, naturally grown food. “When speaking of the key to my success, the coop model
works because we share the work and rewards，” notes AyersElliott “A perfect example is the
Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players
committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced
1,000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, Tshirts, sweat suits and
pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together
to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”
“It's a model that can easily be learned in other places and I'm looking forward to seeing
some of our current partners do just that—to take what they have learned here and spin it off in
other communities.” AyersElliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an
agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take
with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.
28．What made AyersElliott set up Foot Print Farms?
A．The problems faced by local farmers.
B．Her further research into heart disease.
C．The failure of her career after graduation.
D．The health state of people in her hometown.
29．Why does the author take the football team as an example?
A．To advocate the concept of independence.
B．To stress the importance of teamwork.
C．To support the idea of coop model.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂D．To explore the key to success.
30．What is AyersElliott's attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms?
A．Optimistic. B．Skeptical.
C．Cautious. D．Ambiguous.
31．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Naturally grown food benefits people's health.
B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.
C．AyersElliott encourages people to experience the farm life.
D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.

In the basement of a landmark 27story tower in Stockholm, Petterson is hoping to sow the
seeds of an indoor urban farming revolution. He is the chief executive of Plantagon, a new urban
farming factory set to kick off operations in the basement of an office block in the Swedish
capital.
He is by no means the first enthusiast for indoor farming, which has become increasingly
fashionable in recent years. Claims for the practice of growing food in basements range from
feeding people in desert environments to transforming the negative environmental effects of
monoculture farming.
Plantagon's early promises reflect this new optimism. Petterson calls the farm's approach
“agritechture” ： the combination of agriculture, technology and architecture hoping to
revolutionize how we live and eat.
The_term may be new, but the concept isn't. Indoor farming is made possible by agricultural
technologies such as hydroponics (growing plants without soil) and aeroponics (in which plants
are grown in air over containers) . Food can be produced without direct sunlight or soil.
Plantagon plans to grow highvalue foods in a pumicelike material rather than soil. Water for
the plants is measured precisely. It will also dehumidify(除湿) the air and reuse any extra water to
ensure zero waste. Compared with conventional agriculture, it will need much less water to
produce the same amount of crops.
Energy is also a key issue for indoor urban farms, which have to create artificial sunlight.
Although advances in the efficiency of LED lights have helped bring down energy consumption in
recent years, plants use only about 1 percent of the artificial light produced. This leads to a great
waste of energy, most of which disappears as heat. The basement farm will capture around 70
percent of this wasted heat and pipe it into the heating system of the office block above. Oxygen
produced by the plants will be sent to office workers via the building's air conditioners.
32．What does Plantagon plan to do in the basement?
A．Grow crops.
B．Do operations.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C．Open a seed company.
D．Give lectures about farming.
33．What does the underlined phrase “the term” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Aeroponics. B．Hydroponics.
C．Monoculture. D．Agritechture.
34．What do indoor farms do with energy waste?
A．Produce oxygen.
B．Run air conditioners.
C．Heat offices.
D．Create artificial sunlight.
35．What is the text mainly about?
A．A farming revolution.
B．Petterson's achievement.
C．A watersaving farming project.
D．An environmentfriendly system.
