A.Becauseitmeansconvenience(方便)topeople.
B.Becauseitcanhelppeoplesavealotofmoney.
C.Becauselocalfoodhasmorenutrition.
D.Becauseitisenvironmentallyfriendly.
【解析】选D。
细节理解题。
由第一段可知当地所种的食物是离家近的,不需经过运输的,可是经过运输的食物在运输过程中产生了温室气体,造成了全球变暖,由此可知建议人们吃当地食物的原因是为了环保。
2.Whichisoneoftheverticalfarm’sbenefitswhencomparedwithordinaryfarming?
A.Itproduceshealthierfood.
B.Itdoeslessharmtothecities.
C.Itneedsmorespaceofthecity.
D.Itrequireslesstransportcosts.
【解析】选D。
细节理解题。
普通农场所种的食物要经过运输才可到达城市,运输过程要花钱,可垂直农场则省略了运输这一步骤,当然也减少了运输成本。
故D项是垂直农场的一个好处。

在曼哈顿建垂直农场天空是限制,可天空是无限大的,因此所表达意义是人们可以充分利用垂直空间。

细节理解题。
根据第三段最后一句“Dependingonacity’swaterresources,Despommierthinkshydroponicfarmingisanothermethodfortheverticalfarmwhichneedsnosoiltogrowplants”可知在垂直农场不需要用土壤来种植植物,可以用水培的方法。
