　　原文与解析：

　　Demand for meat, milk and eggs is growing around the world. (9) To meet that demand, the way these products are produced is changing. The change is from small farms to large industrial operations. This has already happened in the United States. But not everyone is happy with the change. As a result, there is also a growing demand for products growing locally on small farms.

　　James Lame stopped raising hogs in a small building and built two industrial-scale hog barns. Each of them holds 1,500 hogs. Nearly all pigs are raised this way in the United States now. (10) They had better consistency, better pork quality, and better genetics.

　　The government says the efficiency of large-scale production in a controlled environment has helped reduce the price of a pork chop by nearly 20 percent since 1998. These efficient and intensive production methods are being used around the world and many experts say that it is a good thing as the demand for meat grows. But livestock expert Carolyn Opio points out that the land, water and feed required to produce it are limited. If we are to produce within the constraints that we are facing today, efficiency is key. But the results of the efficiency are not always necessarily good. (11) The waste from thousands of confined animals can pollute waterways, and produce greenhouse gases. And some health experts are concerned about the antibiotics and other chemicals being put in the animal's feed. Others criticize the conditions in which the animals are kept.

　　(12) So today a growing number of people are returning to small-scale farming. The hogs eat damaged apples and old pumpkins, this reduces food waste, but this kind of farming also means higher prices. It would just involve people making the choice to buy this kind of food.

　　9. What is changing when demand for food is increasing?

　　10. What's the advantage of large-scale production?

　　11. What's the problem of large-scale production?

　　12. What do we know about small-scale farming?

　　【小题9】短文提到，全世界对于肉、蛋、奶的需求逐渐增加，为了满足这一需求，生产这些食物的方式正在发生变化。C 选项与短文内容相符，故选 C。

　　【小题12】短文提到，如今有越来越多的人开始回归小规模农业，这些猪吃有损伤的苹果和老南瓜，这就减少了食物浪费。因此，这种生产方式更加环保，对应选项 B。
