For thousands of years traditional agriculture did not change very much. Most farms were one-family business. Although China is a very big country, only seven percent of the land can be used for farming. It is on this arable land that farmers produce food for the whole population of China.
Farmers in China have long used techniques such as fertilization and irrigation to make their land produce more. Over time, many farming techniques have been modernized: chemical fertilizers are now used and electric pumps are used in irrigation. To make as much use of the land as possible, two or more crops are planted each year where possible. Rice, cotton and vegetable seeds are sometimes grown in special seedbeds before they are planted in the fields. This saves time and allows farmers to grow an extra crop in each season. More advanced technical information was brought in from abroad in the 1980s. Import of technology and machines, and the international exchanges of delegations have helped Chinese farmers improve their production.
It was from the early 1990s that scientists started to develop new techniques to increase agricultural production without harming the environment. Chemical fertilization, for example, helps to produce better crops, but is harmful to the environment. New techniques should increase agricultural production but also be friendly to the environment. Future agriculture should depend on high technology as well as traditional methods. Not only is food production important but also taking care of the environment.
The biggest problem of Chinese farmers is the shortage of arable land. Using the latest technologies, Chinese scientists grow vegetables in greenhouses. The roots of these vegetables are not planted in the earth but hang in water that contains all the nutrients they need to grow. Today, many vegetables are not grown in gardens but in greenhouses where they are protected from the wind, rain and insects. The temperature is controlled with computers, no matter how the weather is outside.
Another technique tries to create plants that produce more and bigger fruit. In 1993, a kind of tomato was developed that was very different from any grown before. It was developed using a technique known as GM. “G” stands for “genetically” from the word “genes”. “M” stands for “modified”, which means “changed”. In other words, the
way tomatoes grow from a natural seed is changed. The new tomatoes are bigger and healthier. They can grow without danger from diseases. They also need much less time to get ripe.
The tomato is one of nearly 4,500 different plants that are genetically modified. In China, about one hundred research stations are now doing GM research to make better tomatoes, cotton, tobacco, green peppers, flowers, watermelons, soybeans, fish and of course rice. A variety of GM watermelons will be seedless and there is GM rice, sometimes called “golden rice”, which will have more vitamins and can grow in poor soil.
1. In China only seven percent of the land is used for farming because _____.
A. because farmers d on’t need more land to produce food for the whole population
B. because China need more and more land to build cities
C. because there are not enough farmers to work on the land
D. because the other land cannot be used for agriculture
2. Fertilization is a technique that is used to _____.
A. make poor soil better
B. make wet land drier
C. make dry land wetter
D. grow vegetables with their roots in water instead of earth
3. Modern agriculture means finding ways to _____.
A. increase irrigation and stop using fertilizers
B. stop irrigation and use fertilizers
C. increase production and be friendly to the environment
D. produce the same amount while taking care of nature
4. In the sentence “… they are protected from wind, rain and insects ”, “ they ” mean s _____.
A. greenhouses
B. roots
C. vegetables
D. tomatoes
5. In GM “M ” stands for “modified ”, which means “ changed ”. What changes is _____.
A. the way in which poor soil is made better
B. the way in which Chinese farmers work on their land
C. the way in which crops develop from seed
D. the way in which farmers take care of environment
B
Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty three, struggled for half an hour to
escape from his trapped
car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot（行李箱）.
Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch（沟渠）at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “ I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sittingborrne, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn（喇叭）and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was really a halfpenny which saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew（拧开）the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat—and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench （扳手）an d began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed. “ It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and climb out of the car as it filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised（擦伤）. Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bats. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “ that thirty minutes seemed like hours. Only the tips of the car wheels were seen, police said last night. The car had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.”
