The result was a sharp drop in farm prices. This period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier times had been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient. They were paying for machinery, seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods. The prices of the items farmers bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell. These developments were made worse by the Great Depression, which began in 1929 and extended throughout the 1930sIn 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal Farm Board was organized. It established the principle of direct interference with supply and demand, and it represented the first national commitment to provide greater economic stability for farmers.President Hoovers successor attached even more importance to this problem. One of the first measures proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he took office in 1933 was the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which was subsequently passed by Congress. This law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group of people. However, new laws were passed immediately that achieved the same result of resting soil and providing flood-control measures, but which were based on the principle of soil conservation. The Roosevelt Administration believed that rebuilding the nations soil was in the national interest and was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expense of other citizens. Later the government guaranteed loans to farmers so that they could buy farm machinery, hybrid（杂交）grain, and fertilizers. 21.What brought about the decline in the demand for American farm products?A) The impact of the Great Depression.B) The shrinking of overseas markets.C) The destruction caused by the First World War.D) The increased exports of European countries.22.The chief concern of the American government in the area of agriculture in the 1920s was _.A) to increase farm productionB) to establish agricultural lawsC) to prevent farmers from going bankruptD) to promote the mechanization of agriculture23.The Agricultural Adjustment Act encouraged American farmers to _.A) reduce their scale of productionB) make full use of their landC) adjust the prices of their farm productsD) be self-sufficient in agricultural production24.The Supreme Court rejected the Agricultural Adjustment Act because it believed that the Act _.A) might cause greater scarcity of farm productsB) didnt give the Secretary of Agriculture enough powerC) would benefit neither the government nor the farmersD) benefited one group of citizens at the expense of others25.It was claimed that the new laws passed during the Roosevelt Administration were aimed at _.A) reducing the cost of farmingB) conserving soil in the long-term interest of the nationC) lowering the burden of farmersD) helping farmers without shifting the burden onto other taxpayersPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continue to occur, largely because of the extreme difficulty in affixing（把固定）legal responsibility on those who continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon（放任）. Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and friendly persuasion have been met by lawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delaysnot only in accepting responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it.It seems that only when government decide
