Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)

Directions: In this section there are four passages. Each one is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. Beneath each question or unfinished statement, there are four suggested answers marked A), B), C)and D). Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Agricultural pests are winning the battle against the poisonous chemicals in pesticides. As each new chemical pesticide is used, the insects or rodents gradually become used to it. The pests change themselves so that they are not killed by poison. Therefore, farmers, scientists, and food planners are trying a new method to control the pests that attack their crops. This method is called Integrated Pest Management, or IPM.

Integrated pest management is a plan that combines several different methods to destroy insects and rodents. These methods are specifically developed for individual areas and crops. The control methods include using the pests‘ natural enemies, controlling the pests breeding environment, and developing stronger strains of seeds. Chemical poisons are used only when necessary. The IPM method accepts the fact that it is useless to try to destroy pests completely with chemical poisons. Its aim is to control pest populations so that crops can still grow well.

Cotton farmers in Texas have been using the IPM method. The farmers find the best combination of control methods for their needs. In this way, they can produce crops without using too many chemical poisons. In 1977, three quarters of Texas cotton fields received no insecticides at all. That year cotton crop was better than average. The IPM method showed the farmers a better way to control the pests in their fields.

The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has been studying agricultural pests and chemicals. It has found that 223 pests are resistant to, or not affected by insecticides. Rodents, including rats, are also gaining resistance to poisons. In 1965, another UN organization, the UN Food Agricultural Organization, listed 182 resistant types of pests. Three years later, there were 228 species on the resistance

list. The 1977 survey raised the number to 364 species. It is necessary to find another method of control. By using IPM, farmers can still control and limit pests without depending on chemical poison. 36. Agricultural pests are ______ . A. all killed by poisons
