21、An escape game, is a game in which a team of players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to accomplish a specific goal in a limited amount of time. The goal is often to escape from the site of the game. 【1】

Keep it simple

For most escape games, even the very challenging ones with very high difficulty ratings, the puzzles and clues are surprisingly simple. They are just cleverly hidden and worded to make them appear difficult to solve. Don’t make things difficult by looking for complex solutions. 【2】

【3】

Sometimes, the escape game creators add a puzzle to confuse players, but this hardly happens. As usual, every puzzle is important and each clue has the potential for revealing the key. Carefully analyze every puzzle you come across. Don’t ignore any, as it may be central to achieving your goal of breaking out. If worse comes to worst, ask for a clue from the game master.

Think like a 4th grader

Escape games can get really challenging. To break out, you need to totally bury yourself in the game. Think outside the box and motivate all your creative juices. Remember when you were a kid and you would think up all these imaginative stories and situations. 【4】. Think like a 4th grader and you’ll find the game more enjoyable and the puzzles easier to solve.

Experiment with use

Is the honey bucket just a metal thing filled with human waste or is there a clue under it? 【5】. We get so stuck on how things are normally used that our minds refuse to think of alternative ways of using them. And just to ease your fears, no escape game will put you in a room with a bucket full of human waste. Like I mentioned earlier, use your imagination and think outside the box.

A．Don’t ignore escape game puzzles.

B．You need to imagine you to be a 10-year-old child.

C．You’d better play the game with a child.

D．More often than not, the answer is right there staring you in the face.

E．There are four tips to play escape games.

F．Don’t keep the excitement levels high.

G．Or maybe, it can be turned upside down to use as a simple ladder.

22、In the basement of a landmark 27-story tower in Stockholm, Petterson is hoping to sow the seeds of an indoor urban farming revolution. He is the chief executive of Plantagon, a new urban farming factory, set to kick off operations in the basement of an office block in the Swedish capital.

He is by no means the first enthusiast for indoor farming, which has become increasingly fashionable in recent years. Claims for the practice of growing food in basements range from feeding people in desert environments to transforming the negative environmental effects of monoculture farming.

Plantagon's early promises reflect this new optimism. Petterson calls the farm's approach "agritechture": the combination of agriculture, technology and architecture hoping to revolutionize how we live and eat.

The term may be new, but the concept isn't. Indoor farming is made possible by agricultural technologies such as hydroponics (growing plants without soil) and aeroponics (in which plants are grown in air over containers). Food can be produced without direct sunlight or soil.

Plantagon plans to grow high-value foods in a pumice-like material rather than soil. Water for the plants is measured precisely. It will also dehumidify (除湿) the air and reuse any extra water to ensure zero waste. Compared with conventional agriculture, it will need much less water to produce the same amount of crops.

Energy is also a key issue for indoor urban farms, which have to create artificial sunlight. Although advances in the efficiency of LED lights have helped bring down energy consumption in recent years, plants use only about 1 percent of the artificial light produced. This leads to a great waste of energy, most of which disappears as heat. The basement farm will capture around 70 percent of this wasted heat and pipe it into the heating system of the office block above. Oxygen produced by the plants will be sent to office workers via the building's air conditioners.

【1】What does Plantagon plan to do in the basement?

A．Grow crops.

B．Do operations.

C．Open a seed company.

D．Give lectures about farming.

【2】What does the underlined phrase "the term" in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Aeroponics.

B．Hydroponics.

C．Monoculture.

D．Agritechture.

【3】What do indoor farms do with energy waste?

A．Produce oxygen.

B．Run air conditioners.

C．Heat offices.

D．Create artificial sunlight.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．A farming revolution.

B．Petterson's achievement.

C．A water-saving farming project.

D．An environment-friendly system.
