B
Your honor! Let me say a few words for myself. What they have told you is not true. I was not trying to kill anyone，and it was hardly possible to try to kill three strong young men at the same time. I didn't have anything to kill people that night and was quite alone. I didn't know them and needn't hate them. I was attacked by them，and I knocked one of them down，it's true，but I was made to do it，or I might be killed by them. I did this not because I hated the white men as they said. I just had to do so. While I was beaten in the dark street by the three men， a policeman came, caught me and then took me here.
I know why I was beaten. I have just moved into a house next to these white men. I have felt that I am not welcome and I have tried to be quiet. I think, as an American，I have the right to choose where to live. If I'm guilty，it is because my colour is different from theirs and I can' t enjoy justice(公正). Yet, I am not guilty. This is all I want to say. Thank you，your honor.

Farthing is moving indoors，where the sun never shines，where rain never falls and where the weather is always proper. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature，wetness，air quality and nutrition. It could be in a building in New York or in a desert in Sahara.
The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities，and nearly half of those are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices are buffeted by，floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more changeable.

Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded by mid-century，the world's population will grow front 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.
To feed so many people may require more farmland , as a result , forests and wilderness(荒地)are becoming fewer and fewer.
Gertjan Meeuws has taken the idea of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and
houseplants in enclosed(封闭的)environments. In their research station , water flows into the fields when needed，and the temperature is kept the same. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night，but according to the needs of the plants.
A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层)of plants could provide a daily diet of 200
grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea isn' t to grow foods that require much space，like corn or potatoes. Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific(特定地)light to grow. Their growth speed is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the citizens, and there's no need to transport it long distances.
34. The underlined word "buffeted" in Paragraph 2 means .
A. badly influenced B. caused C. divided D. well achieved
35. Which of the following is TRUE of the environments in the research station?
A. The temperature is often changed. B. Sunshine is in great need for plants.

A. is of great help to the people who live in the city
B. saves less water compared with outdoor agriculture
C. is completely different from greenhouse agriculture
D. requires much space and suits the production of corn
37. What is the passage mainly about?
