The population of Thailand is 69 million with...

The population of Thailand is 69 million with 5. 7 million farms with an average farm size of 3. 15 hectares （公顷）.Agriculture is of importance to Thailand’s income, and more than 60% of the total population is involved in agriculture.

Chemical fertilizers play an important role in raising agricultural productivity. But they also worsen soil quality. Gradually, the amount of farmland fit for agriculture is reduced. The use of chemical fertilizers in Thailand increased from 2. 3 million tons in 2000 to 5. 0 million tons in 2015, which cost about 1835 million US dollars. About 42% of the fertilizer was used for 10. 4 million hectares in the wet and dry season. Due to the oil shock in 2008, the price of fertilizers greatly increased. As a result, the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives issued a policy to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.

The management of using fertilizers became very important, especially for economic reasons. The NPK fertilizer suggestions for most crops got from field experiments could not be used for crops in other locations where the climate, soil type, crop strain （品种）,and management were different.

To reduce production costs and increase crops yield （产量）in small farms, the country has spread the Site-specific Nutrient Management technology, which is known in Thailand as the Tailor-made Fertilizer Technology （TFT） and it is useful. Importantly, it’s not harmful to the farmland.

1.What can we learn about Thailand from paragraph 1?

A.It has about 30 million farmers.

B.40% of people in it are farmers.

C.Agriculture is important to its economy.

D.Its farms take up 60% of its land.

2.Using chemical fertilizers can ________.

A.cut down on production costs

B.influence the quality of farmland

C.reduce the soil testing for farmers’ practices

D.increase the amount of farmland suitable for agriculture

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the TFT technology?

A.Supporting. B.Doubtful. C.Unconcerned. D.Worried.

4.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?

A.Chemical fertilizers do damage to farmland.

B.Farmers do not care about farmland protection.

C.Thailand spread TFT to manage the use of fertilizers.

D.TFT makes Thailand’s crop yields reduced.

People with disabilities make up a large part of the population．It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities．About half of these disabilities are “developmental", i．e．, they occur before the individual's twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc．Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious", i．e．, accidental or caused by outside forces．

Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long．Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable．Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment．Unfortunately, these basics are often not available．Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability．

In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements（违反；侵犯）of civil rights．Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes．

Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently．It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed．About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level．

Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society．For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships．

Only when public attitudes advance as far as laws have will disabled people be fully able to take their rightful place in society．

It’s said that every Irish “mammy” has her own way to cook Irish stew(炖菜). Simple but satisfying, it has fed the poor over centuries, which makes it a national dish.

The ingredients tell the story. First up, there’s the “spud”, as the Irish call the potato. First brought to Ireland in the 16th century, it was an unbelievable food, providing bumper crops that could be stored over the cold winter months. Soon, everyone was eating it — for breakfast, lunch and tea.

With the arrival of the spud, the population increased from one million to eight million in less than three centuries. But this dependence on the vegetable would prove disastrous when crops were struck by disease in the 1840s. The great famine(饥荒)that followed killed over a million people — and forced millions more to run to other countries. It’s hard to believe that during the years of famine, Ireland continued to export huge quantities of food to Great Britain, its colonial master at the time.

Today, Ireland is an independent nation. Nobody thinks about the potato famine as they enjoy their Irish stew but there’s a bone-deep awareness of the country’s long connection with the spud.

Potatoes are all well and good, but the stew gets its taste from the meat. It used to be made with mutton as it was the only meat available to the poor. However, the only way to make it good enough to eat was to stew it in the pot for hours.

Today, most people use lamb. However, this remains slightly traditional among purists, who also criticize(批评)the addition of ingredients like carrots, parsnips, thyme and supermarket-bought materials.

1.Why was the potato called an unbelievable food in the 16th century?

A.It could be accepted by both the poor and the rich. B.It could be cooked into many delicious dishes.

C.It could be kept for a long time. D.It could grow in winter in Ireland.

2.What did the dependence on the potato lead to in the 1840s?

A.The growing population. B.A very serious famine.

C.A war between Ireland and Britain. D.Millions of people rushing to Ireland.

3.What is the most important step when cooking Irish stew?

A.Stewing the dish for hours. B.Using enough potatoes.

C.Picking up the high-quality lamb. D.Adding different kinds of ingredients.

4.What is this text mainly about?

A.Ways to cook Irish stew. B.The present situation of Irish stew.

C.The importance of potatoes. D.An Irish national dish about potatoes.

In real life, “Rabbit-eating Carrot” is fashion designer who has created clothes embroidered(刺绣)with slogans(口号)such has “Please adopt a pet” and images of her cats, with all earnings going to the Qiming Small Animal Protection Center in Sichuan Province.

The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancestors. Most of them are farmers. Many work in the mines, for mining is the most important industry on Bolivia’s.

The sixth mass extinction (灭绝) is not a worry for the future. It’s happening now, much faster than expected before, and it’s entirely our fault, according to a study published Monday.

Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species (物种) and pushed many more to the edge (边缘) of extinction through wildlife trade, pollution and habitat loss. 1.

Gerardo Ceballos Gonzalez, a professor of ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, said approximately 173 species died out between 2001 and 2014, which is 25 times more extinct species than you would expect under the normal, background, extinction speed.

2. There have been five mass extinction (大规模灭绝) events in the Earth’s history, each wiping out between 70% and 95% of the species of plants, animals and microorganisms. The most recent, 66 million years ago, saw dinosaurs disappear.

The past events were caused by terrible changes of the environment The sixth mass extinction - the one happening now - is different: it’s caused by humans.

3. But it took millions of years to restore(恢复)the number of species.

When one species in the ecosystem disappears, it destroys the entire ecosystem and pushes other species toward destruction. 4.

Hundreds of species of frogs are suffering population decrease and extinctions because of the chytrid fungus (真菌) disease, which is sometimes spread into new areas by humans. Climate change is likely making it worse.

5. The researchers also said the current COVID-19 shows how the carelessness with which people treat the natural world can backfire badly.

The researchers said this data highlights the urgency (紧急) with which the world needs to act. Later this year, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is expected to set new global goals to fight the ongoing biodiversity (生物多样性) problem in the coming decades.

A.Mass extinctions are just as serious as their name suggests.

B.This interdependency (相互依存) of different species is bad news for humans, too.

C.But the speed at which species are dying out has quickened up in recent decades.

D.We humans are destroying the biodiversity of the world we evolved into.

E.Life on Earth has recovered after each of these events.

F.The researchers use amphibians (两栖动物) as an example of this phenomena.

G.Many species have evolved to deal with climate changes.
