Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use. This is especially 16 in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken 17__ the only measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives.
To start with, it is important to remember that the 18 of agriculture has changed greatly throughout history, and will 19__ to do so. Medieval（中世纪的）agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a mainly rural society with a much 20 population density(密度) than it is today.

There are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food production: energy use, environmental costs, water purity, carbon footprint and biodiversity. It is clear, for example, 33__ the carbon of transporting tomatoes from Spain to the UK is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting. But we do not know 34__ lower carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity.
What is crucial is recognizing that 35__ agriculture is not just about sustainable food production. 16. A. true B. wrong C. impossible D. similar 17. A. for B. in C. as D. over 18. A. nature B. way C. performance D. development 19. A. decide B. continue C. start D. prepare
20. A. greater 21. A. result 22. A. case
23. A. absolutely 24. A. remaining 25. A. adequate 26. A. environment 27. A. as
28. A. farming 29. A. defend 30. A. feed on 31. A. devotion 32. A. one 33. A. which 34. A. whether 35. A. traditional
