微阶段刷题过关卷(十) (时间：70分钟　分值：85分) UNIT 5　WORKING THE LAND Using Language (2), Assessing Your Progress & Video Time 第Ⅰ卷(满分25分) Ⅰ. 阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分) Two men have partnered together to create Zero Carbon Food on an underground farm that grows leafy greens while causing zero damage to the environment. The farm is actually in a network of 430­metre­long tunnels 33 metres under Clapham, London. The tunnels were originally used as a bomb shelter in World War Ⅱ and could fit up to 8，000 people. The little light that is in the tunnels comes from LED lights hanging above patches of various vegetables that Steven Dring and Richard Ballard are growing. Their task is to grow leafy greens in underground spaces for people while leaving a very small environmental footprint. Zero Carbon Food uses 70% less water and can produce any leafy vegetable year­round for the growing population of London. They also don't need to use pesticides because there are no insects in the tunnels. The idea of an underground farm came from a conversation about urban farming and the price of land. At the time, Ballard was working on a film about the earth's shrinking natural resources and experiments in more sustainable energy forms around the world. The two agreed that there was a lot of talk about urban farming but no immediate action, so they decided to make it happen themselves. It turned out that buying farming land in London is not cheap, so the pair leased the underground space from transport for London after doing a couple of tests to make sure the space would work for what they needed. The LED lights feeding the one square metre area of greens in the tunnels are energy efficient and last for nine years. But Dring and Ballard need money to increase their production to fill the 10，000 square metres of growing space and hire up to 20 more people. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两个人在伦敦的地下防空洞种植蔬菜并说明了这样做的好处。 1.
