2 . Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical (亚热带的) wilderness in the country.    1    It is also the third largest national park in the lower forty-eight states, after Death Valley and Yellowstone. Each year, more than one million people visit the Everglades.

3 . In the basement of a landmark 27-story 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 high-value foods in a pumice-like 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.

1. What does Plantagon plan to do in the basement?

A．Grow crops.	B．Do operations.
C．Open a seed company.	D．Give lectures about farming.

2. What does the underlined phrase "the term" in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Aeroponics.	B．Hydroponics.
C．Monoculture.	D．Agritechture.

3. What do indoor farms do with energy waste?

A．Produce oxygen.	B．Run air conditioners.
C．Heat offices.	D．Create artificial sunlight.

4. What is the text mainly about?

A．A farming revolution.

B．Petterson's achievement.

C．A water-saving farming project.

D．An environment-friendly system.

With the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important reunion    1    (occasion) for Chinese people, just around the corner, Chinaˈs space heroes came home.

With a crew of three astronauts, Shenzhou-12 manned spacecraft succeeded in    2    (separate) with Chinaˈs Tianhe space station core module(核心舱)    3    Thursday morning, before its return to Earth. Having lived and worked in orbit for 90 days, the crew has set a record of the    4    (long) space stay in a single flight for Chinese astronauts, which is thought to be a    5    (remark) achievement.

Shenzhou-12 craft landed in the Dongfeng landing site near the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center    6    (locate) in the Gobi Desert. The change of the landing place is due to the fact that returning from a space station can be different from a spaceship for itˈs harder to calculate the exact landing point. Therefore, landing in the desert is a    7    (relative) safer option.

During their 90-day stay in orbit, varieties of tasks    8    (carry) out by Nie Haisheng and his fellow members,    9    laid a solid foundation for future missions and the long-term operation of Chinaˈs space station. “Every stage of Chinaˈs approach to the universe is a big challenge,    10    China has shown great competence.” said Nie.

It was a dull, cold and cloudy Monday morning. I had planned to take a journey and visit my grandfather who lived in Tennessee. As I set out on my journey and boarded the bus whose final destination was Tennessee, joy was written all over my face.It had been quite a long time since I last visited the countryside. Though the road leading to Tennessee was quietly rocky, the journey was interesting and fantastic. I enjoyed myself so much since I was able to take pictures of wild animals like giraffe and antelopes(羚羊）and along the way.

After about five hours’ drive, we were finally at Tennessee. I carried my luggage and followed the other passengers. However, I realized that there were many people at the bus station who had come to meet their relatives. My grandfather had informed me that there was no need for anyone to come for me as I would easily find my way to his home.

I tried to talk to a few people to ask about the road leading to my grandfather’s home, but unfortunately, we couldn’t understand each other because of the language barrier. I had to make signs, pointing towards the direction where my grandfather lived to see if they could help me. However, the people I asked seemed not to understand me very well, and ended up giving me mixed directions. I felt so desperate because it was already getting late. What’s worse, the countryside had network problems, so I could not reach my grandfather over the phone. I had no option but to look for a suitable place of shelter for the night. I carefully walked through the bushes, along the road and found a tree that had a lot of thick bushes around it. I felt that this was a nice place for me to hide for the night before daybreak.

Brady was a recently retired search and rescue dog. He was not happy and missed his owner Al because Al had gone out on a rescue mission without him. Al’s nephew Steve took Brady along when he and his friend Zach went on a overnight hike. But suddenly Steve and Zach smelled something burning and they realized that lightning had set the woods on fire. Wind-blown flame had leaped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox and the thunderstorm wasn’t helping much. It had more wind and lightning than rain. Zach pulled Steve’s arm.“Let’s go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today.” Steve pulled Brady’s leash and their heads down against the strong fire-wind, they hurried down the path they had followed earlier. The air was full of smoke，and pine branches broke from burning trees with a crisp sound. Steve kept his eyes on the route. All they had to do was to make it down to the river…

Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a dense curtain of smoke across the path. They’d never make it through that. They would have to find another escape route. The dog was pulling at his leash trying to draw them away from the smoke. This was what Brady was trained to do, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him they were moving away from the river.

Brady lifted his head and smelled the smoky wind. Suddenly, the dog ran away and disappeared. The boys yelled and shouted for him，but he didn’t come back.

They had no choice but to leave him behind. Heartsick, Steve and Zach went up a slope. He couldn’t blame Brady for panicking and escaping. He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t have a clue which way. They hadn’t gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came running toward him.
