32、he farm.DIn 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of single crop species (物种) might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the patato for food. The death of one spec
33、ies caused a terrible famine(饥荒). 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 clim
34、ates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you wont find many of these species in your local supermarket.

35、r example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are grown there.

36、arieties to disappear.One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds (种子) as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear.

38、arm, where people can store and trade seeds.More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm dont just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that havent been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or t
39、aste. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.34. What is this passage mainly about?A. The need to protect different food species.B. How to increase the number of food species.C. The fact that many food species are dying out.D. How to prevent food species from disappeari
40、ng.35. Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again?A. Because people depend on certain species of food crops.B. Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again.C. Because the worlds population is larger than that in 1845.D. Because farmers grow the same potatoes as t
41、hose in the past.36. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _.Meanwhile, thousands of other species are dying out.A. Paragraph 1B. Paragraph 2C. Paragraph 3D. Paragraph 437. What can we learn from the passage?A. The disease spread very quickly and killed thousands of people in Ire
42、land.B. Around 80 percent of the rice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared.C. People have been storing seeds to save plane varieties for less than 100 years.D.
