2．Erik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr.Paul Gauthier，a plant physiologist specializing in vertical（垂直的） farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming.
Humans have 12，000 years of experience in growing food，but only a generation's worth of experience or so in growing crops indoors.We are still progressing up the technology learning curve（曲線）.What's more，traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming.Therefore，without taking time to understand the science，vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promise.
The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome.Dr.Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as the "pie-in-the-sky" business.He famously calculates，for instance，that the cost of a loaf of bread would be ﹩24 if farmed indoors-the cost is too high.Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis （光合作用），so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light.
Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high，vertical farming does create enormous efficiencies in other areas.Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again.Fertilizer use can also be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary.It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society.
The future is probably mixed.In some environments-the Middle East，for instance-a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer.An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia，for instance，can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading other farmland.In other environments，though，the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability.A large vertical farming and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine-year life.
（1）What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2？
A．It relies on more basic scientific research.
B．It will replace traditional farming one day.
C．It actually came into being 12，000 years ago.
D．It can be applicable under different conditions.
（2）What does Dr.Louis Albright think of vertical farms？
A．They use less light than traditional ones.
B．They can overcome many problems in farming.
C．They may seem very unlikely to be popularized.
D．They do not need any natural sunlight any longer.
（3）What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？
A．The recent trend of vertical farming.
B．The possible benefits of vertical farming.
C．The secrets of developing vertical farming.
D．The ways of reducing costs of vertical farming.
（4）Why is the example of "an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia" mentioned？
A．To argue that vegetables do not need to be imported any longer.
B．To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia.
C．To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high.
D．To show vertical farming can work pretty well in some places.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

5．How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot.（1）
But with these tips，your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
?When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story，think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions related to it.For example，if your topic is about environmental problems in America，you might ask，"Why do you think environmental protection is important in America？"（2）
?Hit the streets with confidence.（3）Say，"Excuse me，I work for XYZ News，and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic." This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
?Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera.Don't get discouraged.
（4）Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes.As soon as you get the answer you need，move on to the next person.Make sure that as you go from interview to interview，you are getting a variety of answers.If everyone is giving you the same answer，you won't be able to use it.A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten.（5）
?If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air，don't leave work without them.
A.Limit your time.
B.As you approach people，be polite.
C.If you don't own a camera，you can buy one.
D.For new reporters，this can seem like a challenging task.
E.To get good and useful results，ask them the same question.
F.That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G.With a question like this，you will get more than a "Yes" or "No" reply.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5
