In 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
potato
for
food.
The
death
of
one
species
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 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 Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming
only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers.

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.
Scientists
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 store the seeds (
种子
) as many different plant
varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay
Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400,000 seeds from five contients. More recently,
others are continuing the work he began.

In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect 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 taste. They also offer farmers food solutions
for the future, from the past.


1

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 disappearing.





2

Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again?

A . Because people depend on certain species of food crops.




1




16


B . Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again.

C . Because the world's population is larger than that in 1845.

D . Because farmers grow the same potatoes as those in the past.


3

The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________.

Meanwhile, thousands of other species are dying out.

A . Paragraph 1




B . Paragraph 2




C . Paragraph 3




D . Paragraph 4





4

What can we learn from the passage?

A . The disease spread very quickly and killed thousands of people in Ireland.

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 . Heritage Farm is the first place in the U.S. for people to store and trade seeds.
