At a news briefing, an official from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that fruits, vegetables and tea grown in China now taste worse than before and also have a much lower economic return because of the overuse of chemical fertilizers (CF).
The overuse of CF has not only increased planting costs but also resulted in concerns about the quality and safety of vegetables, fruits and other crops grown in China.
Statistics show that the country is now the world's largest user of CF and pesticides, with their use over the last three decades increasing six times more than the world's average. The overuse of CF means that vegetables and fruits grown in China lack flavor, and this weakens the competitiveness even in the domestic market.
At a time when other agricultural countries are going all out to promote their agricultural products in the international market, the declining quality of Chinese agricultural products resulting from the overuse of CF and pesticides will inevitably create a block for the development of China's agriculture.
There is also evidence that the overuse of CF has caused a continuous decline in returns for China's agricultural output, which means that the more such fertilizers are used, the slower agricultural output grows. Worse, unchecked use of CF has seriously harmed the health of the country's soil.
The use of CF and pesticides has become normal practice for farmers in China. To change this unhealthy state of affairs, the government should try to free farmers from their dependency on CF by means of policy guidance and encouragement.
The production and use of CF and pesticides have to be controlled, and farmers, through taxation means, should be encouraged to use cleaner and more environmentally friendly organic fertilizers.

D.Agriculture contributes much to Chinese economy.
12.What aspect of Chinese agriculture products does paragraph 3 focus on

13.What does the underlined word “inevitably” mean in paragraph 4
A.Entirely. B.Barely. C.Essentially. D.Unavoidably.
14.Which of the following can be a solution to the present problem according to the text
A.Organic farming. B.Lower tax on CF.

The key to dealing with test-day anxiety is through preparation! 15 It is important to prepare your mind and body before the test for the experience of working under pressure.
Get some sleep. I know you've heard this before, but it's often repeated because it's so important. Get plenty of sleep the night before the test! If you don't have enough rest, you'll end up with less concentration. 16
Leave early. Be sure to leave earlier than normal on the day of a test to avoid the added fear of arriving late. 17 . The embarrassment will cause you to be distracted and lose valuable time.
18 Once you arrive at school or at the testing center, find a quiet space where you can be all alone. You can use your car if you drive, or you can find an empty locker room or office. Once you find a quiet place, you can relax. Close your eyes and try to relax completely. Take deep breaths and remain calm.
19 It's possible that some students start to stress out as other students discuss the material. When you hear others chatting, it might sound like you ignored something important or you misunderstood a concept (概念). It's probably not even true—but it can seem like it!
A.Take a quiet moment.
B.A sleepy brain is a foggy brain.
C.Watch out for chatting with others after a test.
D.Attending an exam late is the last thing you need.
E.You can find time to eat some snacks during a break.
F.Don't talk with other students in the minutes before a test.
