Broccoli is a vegetable that is popular throughout the United States, but it can be grown only in temperate climates with mild summers. Because of this limitation, 90 percent of the broccoli consumed in the United States is grown in the cooler regions of California, on the West Coast. It must be shipped 4:000 kilometers across the entire country to reach the populous East Coast。This situation may soon change, however: scientists are attempting to create a new type of broccoli that can be grown on the East Coast despite the hotter summers there. This project has several potential benefits.

西兰花是一种在美国很受欢迎的蔬菜，但它只能在温和的夏季生长。由于这一限制，美国消费的90%的西兰花都生长在加州西海岸较冷的地区。它必须经过4,000 公里的运输，穿过整个国家，到达人口众多的东海岸。不过，这种情况可能很快就会改变。科学家们正试图创造一种新型的西兰花，这种西兰花可以在夏季更炎热的东海岸种植。这个项目有几个潜在的好处。

First, growing broccoli on the East Coast and distributing it to nearby grocery stores would lower broccoli costs for consumers Transporting the vegetable from California by truck takes several days, which makes transportation costs high. Growing broccoli locally would reduce transportation costs, so stores could sell broccoli for less money.

首先，在东海岸种植西兰花，并将其配送到附近的杂货店，可以降低消费者购买西兰花的成本。用卡车将西兰花从加州运出需要几天时间，这使得运输成本很高。在当地种植西兰花可以降低运输成本，因此商店可以以更低的价格出售西兰花。

Now listen to part of a lecture on the topic you just read about.

Professor: East coast broccoli might not actually be as successful or beneficial as its creators claim.

东海岸的西兰花可能并不像它的创造者所说的那样成功或有益。

First, it’s true that growing and selling crops locally saves money on transportation costs, but that will not necessarily make the new broccoli cheaper for consumers. Yes, the new breed of broccoli will be able to survive the hot summers on the east coast, but unfortunately it will also have lower yields than the broccoli grown on the west coast. This means that farmers on the east coast will harvest less broccoli per hectare, and so they’ll have to sell their produce at a higher price. This price increase will cancel out the savings on transportation, so the east coast consumers will probably not save any money buying the locally grown broccoli.

首先，在当地种植和销售作物确实可以节省运输成本，但这对消费者来说新型西兰花并不一定更便宜。是的，新品种的西兰花将能够在东海岸炎热的夏季生存，但不幸的是，它的产量也将低于西海岸的西兰花。这意味着东海岸的农民每公顷的西兰花收成会更少，因此他们将不得不以更高的价格出售他们的产品。这次涨价将抵消节省的交通费。因此，东海岸的消费者购买当地种植的西兰花可能不会节省一分钱。

Second, even though researchers are using traditional breeding techniques in creating the new broccoli, the public might still be suspicious. You see, financial support for this research comes from the same companies that created。。。。。

Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific methods proposed in the reading passage.

TPO64综合写作范文：

The author in the reading holds that there exist several potential benefits to create a new type of broccoli grown on the East Coast despite hotter summers, while the lecturer in the lecture expresses an opposite opinion.

To begin with, the author claims that it’s likely for consumers to purchase broccoli with lower costs if it is grown on the East Coast and sold at nearby grocery stores. However, the lecturer refutes that although it saves money on transportation costs, the new breed of broccoli will generate lower yields than those grown on the Western coast. Thereby, farmers on the East Coast have to sell products at a higher price, canceling out the saving on transportation, which is unlikely to save any money.
