V. Read the following passage and circle the most appropriate answer (A, B, C
or D) to the questions. (1.0 point)
In 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper
potato plants. In another place or time, the death of a single crop species might not
have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the
potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine. Now, some
scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again - but on a much wider scale.
Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of
food crops. Each species has special qualities. Some can be grown in very hot or cold
_climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you won't find many
of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on the
Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species
of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers. Meanwhile, thousands of other species are becoming extinct.
For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice;
now fewer than 100 are grown there. In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown
just a century ago have disappeared. Experts believe that over the past century, we
have allowed more than half of the world's food varieties to disappear.
One solution to this problem is to collect and preserve the seeds of as many
different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested
by Russian scientist Niko lay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around
400,000 seeds from five continents. More recently, others are continuing the work he began. 2
In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to preserve historic plant
varieties, like the seeds her great-grandfather brought to the U.S from Germany more
than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm,
where people can store and trade seeds.
More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don't just store the seeds; they
plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that
haven't been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of
appearance or flavour, but they are also offering farmers food solution for the future, from the past.
Question 1 : The passage is mainly about ----�---
A. ways to increase the number of food species
B. what the food we eat will look like someday
C. the need to preserve different food species D. how food species disappear
Question 2: What does the word" others" in paragraph 2 refer to? A. distinct quanlities B. species of food crops C. farmers D. different climates
Question 3: All of the following statements are true about Heritage Fann EXCEPT that ----
A. it plants seeds from the past
B. it offers foods with special appearance and flavours C. it stores and trades seeds
D. it solves the problem of food shortage
Question 4: Which statement would Diane Ott Whealy probably agree with?
A. It's important to store seeds, but you must also plant them.
B. American seeds are better than German seeds.
C. Foods grown from older seeds are better, but taste bad.
D. The work started by Nikolay Vavilov was not important.
