Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Pigs, fishponds and crops—all housed in tall buildings.  This is a vision of industrial farming in the Netherlands(荷兰).  In a world concerned about the environment and transport, would it not make sense to concentrate food production next to a harbor and an airport? And since humans can live in tall buildings, why not pigs and fish?

The creative minds behind a government report suggest just this for a site at Rotterdam(鹿特丹) very close to mainland Europe's largest port.

The scale is vast: imagine 10 football fields, six floors of equal area, at total of 500 acres(英亩) stretching skywards.  The building, known as Deltapark, visualizes 300,000 pigs, 1. 2 million chickens, tens of thousands of fish and a giant vegetable growing area all under one roof.  The pigs could enjoy more space than on an average pig farm, and end their days in the slaughterhouse downstairs.  Space without daylight in the giant building could be used for cultivating mushrooms(蘑菇) which grow well in the dark.

Higher up, greenhouses full of tomatoes and flowers, grown in nutrient solutions collected from elsewhere in the building, would profit from the light.  The system is theoretically a complete farming cycle, with one activity feeding another and everything being recycled.

Deltapark is to be run by managers, not farmers.  It has nothing to do with agriculture as we now know it, and so far, only exists on paper
