Urban agriculture, the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in or around metropolitan areas, is gaining popularity worldwide. This movement is driven by the desire to increase food security and reduce the distance that food travels from farm to consumer. Movement adherents also seek to foster sustainable living. Community gardens, vertical farms, and rooftop gardens are common forms of urban agriculture that provide fresh produce to city dwellers.

One of the main benefits of urban agriculture is its ability to enhance food security. By growing food locally, cities can reduce their dependence on imported produce and ensure a steady supply of fresh fruits and vegetables. Additionally, urban agriculture can contribute to environmental sustainability. Local food production reduces the need for transportation, lowering carbon emissions and minimizing the environmental impact of food distribution.

However, urban agriculture faces several challenges. Limited space in densely populated cities can restrict the scale of food production. Moreover, urban soil can be contaminated with pollutants, making it unsuitable for growing food. Innovative solutions, such as hydroponics and aquaponics, are being developed to overcome these obstacles and maximize food production in urban areas.

1. 题干:The word "foster" in the passage is closest in meaning to 文章中“foster”一词在意思上最接近 2. 分析:题目类型:词汇题。解题策略:根据“foster”在原文上下文中的含义,选择最接近的同义词。 3. 定位信息理解:第一段第二、三句:“This movement is driven by the desire to increase food security... Movement adherents also seek to foster sustainable living.” 信息理解:该句说明该运动的驱动力是“增加粮食安全”,并且其追随者还寻求“foster可持续生活”。“foster”在这里与“seek to”(寻求)搭配,接在“increase”(增加)这一积极目标之后,表示一种同样积极的“促进、培养、鼓励”的含义。 4. 分析选项:(A) reduce (减少) - 分析:词义相反。上下文的目标都是积极正向的(增加、促进)。 (B) limit (限制) - 分析:词义相反且矛盾。促进可持续生活不可能是“限制”它。 (C) promote (促进,提倡) - 分析:这与原文中“foster”在语境中表达的“鼓励、培养(某种理念或生活方式)”的含义完全一致。此为正确答案。 (D) attract (吸引) - 分析:词义相关但不准确。“Attract”侧重于引起兴趣,而“foster”侧重于对已有事物进行培育和支持。
