32、cate a large-scale shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture.

Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot

33、 of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertilizer（合成肥料）each year, and all that nitrogen（氮）enables much faster plant growth. However, the cost is paid in vast polluted

They found that organic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type, though the difference varied widely

38、. For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed（落后于）conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetables all of which provide the worlds main calories conventional agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%.What that means is that while organic farming may be more sust

39、ainable than conventional agriculture, there are trade-offs（此消彼长）with each. So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventional practices.1、Whats the authors purpose of writing the passage?ATo compare two types of farming.B

40、To criticize conventional agriculture.CTo discuss the development of farming.DTo argue for a realistic agriculture system.2、What do we know about conventional farming?AIt produces more crops with fewer fertilizers.BIt achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environment.CIf offers a long-term solut
