Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldn't see any sign that food was once grown there.
Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official（官员）at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部）．
"Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the country's ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan last Monday.
As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.
Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China's farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares（公顷） of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal", Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.The article seems to tell us that_____________.
| A．farmland is in danger |
| B．countryside is turned into towns |
| C．farmland has been sold |
| D．Chinese cities are growing fast |
From what Gan Zangchun said, we know he is worrying about ____________.
| A．China's development is too slow |
| B．the population of China is growing fast |
| C．Chinese people have worse life than before |
| D．the reduction(减少) and pollution of the farmland |

| A．120 million hectares. |
| B．121.8 million hectares. |
| C．2.67 million square kilometers. |
| D．Millions of square kilometers. |
Which statement of the following is NOT true?
| A．Yang Nan's new home is in a northern area of Beijing. |
| B．The country needs enough farmland so that the farmers can grow enough food for the people of China. |
| C．Chinese cities are growing too slowly so the government encourages people to change the farmland into towns. |
| D．Pollution is also an important reason for the big drop in China's farmland. |
What will the government do with the problem of the drop in China's farmland?
| A．Government needs farmland to grow food for the people of China. |
| B．Government will order not to build new towns any more. |
| C．Government will stop the growth of the cities in order to stop selling farmland for business. |
| D．Government will fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming dessert. |
