【答案解析】
21.[D]onspeciallydesignedfarms
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词climate-friendlyeggs定位到第一段末句：Thisallseemsrandom,butit’sbydesign,partof...nextbigthing:climate-friendlyeggs(这看起来随意，但其实是设计好的，是下一个大事件气候友好蛋的一部分)。其中This指的是第一段开头描述的养鸡农场景象。养鸡农场是设计好的，用于生产气候友好蛋，由此可知气候友好蛋是在speciallydesignedfarms(经过特别设计的农场)上生产的，所以本题选D。
22.[C]creatingasustainablesystem
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干关键词LarryBrownisexcitedabouthisprogress定位到第三段①句，该句提到(Brown)isaddingmorecovercropsthatdrawwormsandcricketsforthechickenstoeat(Brown正在添加更多的覆盖作物来吸引蠕虫和蟋蟀给鸡吃)。结合②句Thebirds’wastethenfertilizesfields(然后鸡的排泄物可以给田地施肥)和③句中的Suchimprovements“allowourhenstoforageforhigher-qualitynaturalfeed...”(这样的改进使我们的母鸡能够找到更高质量的天然食物)可知，C项creatingasustainablesystem(创造一个可持续的系统)是对①-③句的合理概括，所以本题选C。
23.[C]thepotentialofregenerativeproducts
【解析】本题为例证题。例证题通常考查根据论据寻找论点的能力，论点一般在论据的前面。根据题干关键词organiceggs定位到第四段②句，该句为论据，其所要说明的事物为①句：whetheranimalproductsfromregenerativefarmscanbecomethenextpremiumoffering(来自再生农场的动物产品能否成为下一个优质产品)。C项thepotentialofregenerativeproducts(再生产品的潜力)是对①句中问题的合理概括，所以本题选C。
24.[B]arelikelytobuyclimate-friendlyeggs
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干中的youngpeople可先定位到最后一段中的②句：youngergenerationsaremoreconcernedaboutclimatechange(年轻一代更加关心气候变化)。结合③句中的Youngadults“reallycareabouttheplanet”(年轻人真的关心地球)和④句中的Theyareabsolutelyalteringthefoodchain(他们绝对在改变食物链)，可以判断年轻人很可能在从食物方面为改善气候和地球环境做贡献。B项arelikelytobuyclimate-friendlyeggs(可能购买气候友好蛋)是对②-④句的合理推断，所以本题选B。
25.[A]marketprospects
【解析】本题为细节题。根据题干中的JohnBrunnquell定位到最后一段中的③句，Brunnquell说年轻人真的关心地球。结合④句他说年轻人绝对在改变食物链，可见他认为年轻人可能通过消费气候友好蛋等再生产品来保护地球，对再生产品的市场前景是乐观的。再根据题干中的JulieStanton定位到倒数第二段的①句，Stanton说Regenerativeproductscouldbeahardsell(再生产品可能要被强行推销)，可见她对再生产品的市场前景是悲观的。因此这两人在再生产品的市场前景方面的观点是不一致的，A项marketprospects(市场前景)准确指出了两人观点的分歧所在，所以本题选A。
