【解析】文章主要接受了一种用海水和淡水的混合水种植蔬菜的新方法。

【1】此处考查定语从句的连接词。此处为非限定性定语从句，表示全球变暖已经增加了淡水中的含盐量。指代全球变暖，在句中作主语，所以which。

【2】此处修饰谓语be unable to do 应该用副词，表示农民们越来越不能使用近海的田地。

【3】根据语境可知此处表示在荷兰的农民现在在使用海水和淡水的混合水来种植 蔬菜，与前面句子是转折关系，所以应该用but。

【4】此处在句中做状语表目的，所以用to grow。

【5】此处为强调句，就是在他的八个地方，他与其他的科学家们合作进行了第一次尝试。强调句用it is 。。。。 that

【6】此处考查名词，表示不同的管子抽取这两种混合水。Pipe 用复数pipes。

【7】此处是做后置定语表示叫做感应器的电脑程序来控制水位。

【8】此处表示他们能在之前提到的八块试验田里收获蔬菜。特指之前提到的，所以用the。

【9】此处表示用这种水种植的比用淡水种植的要小得多。 特指 蔬菜用those。

【10】根据语境however，可知显然这种蔬菜更好。所以用better。
