    Have you ever thought about what our food will be like in the future? As the population is growing fast, there must be changes in our food.
    More land will be used for building houses for people. Then there will be less space for cattle and chickens, so meat will be more expensive. Instead, people will eat more fruit and vegetables.
    Scientists are always trying out new ways of growing food. Only one third of the Earth's area is land and the rest is sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea.
    Besides, though rice supports more than half of the world's population, it needs a lot of water to grow. Scientists predict（预测） the climate will get drier during the next century. Therefore, it might be impossible to grow rice in the future. Some farmers are experimenting with new crops. Farmers like to grow beans because they don't need much water, and beans also improve the quality of the soil. The soybean （黄豆） makes a good substitute（替代品） for rice and meat.
（1）Why won't some people eat meat every day in the future according to the passage?
A. Because meat makes people fat.                 B. Because meat may be more expensive.
C. Because people want to be healthier.         D. Because people want to eat more vegetables.
（2）Where can we get more food according to the passage?
A. From the sea.           B. From the land.            C. From the rivers.           D. From other planets.
（3）Why might it be impossible to grow rice in the future according to the passage?
A. Because growing rice is hard work.               B. Because people will eat less rice.
C.   Because rice needs much water to grow.    D. Because it takes too much time to grow rice.
（4）Which of the following about beans is NOT true?
A. Beans may be popular for farmers to grow.   B. Beans need as much water as rice to grow.
C. Beans improve the quality of the soil.            D. Beans can take the place of rice and meat.

【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文讲的是将来人们的食物会是什么样的。在将来肉很贵，人们将吃的更多的是水果和蔬菜。人们从海洋中得到更多的食物。随着下个世纪气候的变干旱，在将来种植水稻是不可能的。人们会种植豆类，黄豆会制成米和肉好的替代品替。
（1）细节理解题。根据 Then there will be less space for cattle and chickens, so meat will be more expensive.那时牛和鸡的生存空间更小了，因此肉将更贵。 故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据 Only one third of the Earth's area is land and the rest is sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea. 地球只有三分之一是陆地，因此一些人认为或许我们能从海洋获取更多的食物。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据 Besides, though rice supports more than half of the world's population, it needs a lot of water to grow. 此外，虽然，水稻支撑着世界上一半多人口，它需要很多水来种植，故选C。
