People cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and an
10、imals raised on farms. Many other materials such as cotton and wool also come from plants and animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important work in the world at present. Before the nineteenth century, the typical American family lived on
11、a small farm. They raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and planted corn, beans, fruits, garden vegetables, rice, and wheat. Everyone worked long and hard, but the results were often poor. Families harvested just enough food for themselves. This situation began to change during the last half of the
12、 1800s and it changed remarkably(明显地)in the following century. Scientific methods and labor-saving machinery have made farming increasingly productive in the US. The development of improved plant varieties and chemical fertilizers(肥料)has helped double and even triple(三倍)the production of some major
13、crops. More scientific animal care and animal raising have helped increase the amount of meat and other products animals produce. At the same time, the use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has sharply reduced the need for farm labor. As farming has become less important as a way of life i
14、n the United States, it has become more important as a source which offers materials to industry. Todays successful farmers are experts not just in agriculture but also in accounting(会 计), marketing and finance(金融). Farms that are not run in a similar way have great difficulty competing. 21.We are t
15、old in the first paragraph about _. A. the history of farming. B. the importance of farming. - 4 - C. the development of farming. D. the changes of farming. 22. Which of the following describes American farming before the 19th century? A. Farmers didnt work hard on their farms. B. Farmers used tract
16、ors to help them. C. Farming was the main way of living for most people. D. Farmers could supply materials to industry. 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Traditional American farming. B. The increase in the number of crops in the US. C. Modern farming methods. D. America
17、n farmershard work. B Some 3,000 years ago, farmers in eastern China started to grow the soybean. In 1765, the first soybeans were planted in North America, and today the soybean takes up more US cropland than wheat. In Brazil, where it spreads even more rapidly, the soybean is invading the Amazon r
18、ainforest. Soybeans are second in the US crops only to corn(玉米), and first in both Brazil and Argentina. Growing nearly six million tons per year to satisfy global demand(需 求)for soybeans is really a challenge. Although the amount of cropland in the US devoted to corn has remained unchanged since 19
19、50, that devoted to soybeans has expanded rapidly. So stopping the clearing of the Amazon rainforest while still meeting the growing demand for soybeans is considered a big problem. The Amazon rainforest is one of the richest sources of biological diversity(生 物多样性)for both plants and animals in the
20、world. It also recycles rainfall from coastal areas to drier inland ones, enabling agriculture to be carried out all over Brazil. And it also stores a large amount of carbon. For each of these facts the Amazon rainforest is obviously of great importance, but it is the release of carbon that most dir
21、ectly affects the entire world. More and more carbon is being released into the atmosphere as the rainforest is destroyed, helping to drive climate change. Although the deforestation(森林砍伐)is occurring within Brazil, it is the worldwide growth in demand for meat, milk, and eggs that is encouraging it
22、. Saving the Amazon rainforest will mean moving down the food chain, eating less meat, and lessening the growth in demand for soybeans. - 5 - 24. We learn from the passage that soybeans _. A. are the leading agricultural product in Brazil B. are planted more than corn in America C. were first plante
23、d in North America D. take up the most cropland in the US 25. Which of the following is leading to the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil? A. The increasing population of Brazil. B. The release of large amounts of carbon. C. The increasing demand for meat, milk and eggs. D. The increas
24、ing inland agriculture. 26. What does the author mean with the underlined phrase “moving down the food chain“? A. People should eat more meat. B. People should eat more vegetables. C. The food chain should be changed. D. Demand for soybeans should be reduced. 27. What would be the best title for the passage? A. How to Protect the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil B. The Increasing Worldwide Demand for Soybeans C. Why Deforestation is Occurring in the Amazon Rainforest D. Growing Demand for Soybeans Threatens the Amazon
