1. (2022高二下·长春月考) 阅读理解

In Melbourne lies an 87-square-meter, three-story, two-bedroom and one-bathroom house. That may sound like a real property advertisement, but it could be the home of the future.

Made from organic materials and run on sustainable energy, the building, known as "The Greenhouse", is completely zero waste. It was designed by zero waste advocate Bakker, as part of his Future Food System housing experiment. "The greenhouse is inspired by nature — it's an ecosystem where nothing is wasted," Bakker says.

Organic waste is fed into a biodigester where it ferments (发酵) and turns into gas for cooking or fertilizer for produce; rainwater is harvested and used for irrigation and a specific system, where plants grow using waste from fish; and hot steam from the shower enables a wall of mushrooms to boost. The house is designed, says Bakker, with the roof as the foundation, loaded with 35 tons of soil, which provides fertile (肥沃的) ground for produce — more than 200 plant species grow on the roof, as well as insects, snails, fish and chickens.

The site is more than just a model home; it's been a real one for Jo Barrett and Matt Stone, who were chefs at the small in-house restaurant. "To be able to grow and produce food on a tiny footprint in the city and turn it into exciting dishes is completely unique," says Stone.

Through the project, Bakker wanted to demonstrate he could feed a family with his design. "I think we've proved that it's actually more productive than I imagined," he says. "We've harvested 35 kilos of potatoes from a square meter."

He hopes the example will offer a blueprint to future homes and an alternative to current food system, which is to blame for over a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Creating a circular system could also greatly reduce food waste.

"We're the only species that generates waste. In nature, there is no waste; everything becomes a food source for something else," says Bakker. "If we transform to a circular system, we have so much potential to stop the destruction of wilderness and forest."
