26、 The population of Thailand is 69 million with 5. 7 million farms with an average farm size of 3. 15 hectares （公顷）.Agriculture is of importance to Thailand’s income, and more than 60% of the total population is involved in agriculture.
Chemical fertilizers play an important role in raising agricultural productivity. But they also worsen soil quality. Gradually, the amount of farmland fit for agriculture is reduced. The use of chemical fertilizers in Thailand increased from 2. 3 million tons in 2000 to 5. 0 million tons in 2015, which cost about 1835 million US dollars. About 42% of the fertilizer was used for 10. 4 million hectares in the wet and dry season. Due to the oil shock in 2008, the price of fertilizers greatly increased. As a result, the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives issued a policy to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.
The management of using fertilizers became very important, especially for economic reasons. The NPK fertilizer suggestions for most crops got from field experiments could not be used for crops in other locations where the climate, soil type, crop strain （品种）,and management were different.
To reduce production costs and increase crops yield （产量）in small farms, the country has spread the Site-specific Nutrient Management technology, which is known in Thailand as the Tailor-made Fertilizer Technology （TFT） and it is useful. Importantly, it’s not harmful to the farmland.
【1】What can we learn about Thailand from paragraph 1?
A.It has about 30 million farmers.
B.40% of people in it are farmers.
C.Agriculture is important to its economy.
D.Its farms take up 60% of its land.
【2】Using chemical fertilizers can ________.
A.cut down on production costs
B.influence the quality of farmland
C.reduce the soil testing for farmers’ practices
D.increase the amount of farmland suitable for agriculture
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the TFT technology?
A.Supporting. B.Doubtful. C.Unconcerned. D.Worried.
【4】What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A.Chemical fertilizers do damage to farmland.
B.Farmers do not care about farmland protection.
C.Thailand spread TFT to manage the use of fertilizers.
D.TFT makes Thailand’s crop yields reduced.
27、 A strong vocabulary helps develop understanding, communication, and reading ability. 【1】 Consider the following tips on helping your child develop an impressive vocabulary.
Let Your Child Tell the Story
Perhaps you read nightly to your child or take turns doing so. Of course, this is an excellent way to expand reading and vocabulary skills. 【2】. Then, let your child charge the end of the rope of his imagination wherever his imagination leads.
【3】
You need to take active role. If you want your children’s language skills to improve, take their vocabulary questions seriously. When they express curiosity about a word, be sure to teach the correct definition and pronunciation.
Correct Mistakes with Care
【4】 However, it is essential not to scold them when they make such mistakes. Rather, point out what they got right, and then review the proper way to use then speak the word. The more fun and positive an experience, the more interested and able your children will be in expanding their vocabulary.
Do Be Patient
You may need to repeat words and meanings many times before your child fully grasps the concept. This is completely normal. 【5】 Children develop at their own paces. The most important thing is to honor and balance their needs so that learning does not become a struggle. While you want them to get ahead, you do not want them to develop pressure with trying to do so.
A.Try Your Best to Correct Them
B.Pay More Attention to Your Kid’s Vocabulary
C.It is natural for children to mispronounce or misuse new words.
D.It is important for children to mispronounce new words while learning.

No tsunami alert was reported. The country's army troops were on standby to assist victims and disaster recovery operation.

29、 Last year, I decided to study in Thailand.I had planned to study an English-language master's program in America, but after comparing the expense, I changed my mind.
The low cost was one of the biggest advantages of studying in Thailand. Base tuition (学费）for the program added up to $10,000, including a five-day study trip in China, two two-day trips for conferences and meeting and one field trip.I was fortunate to earn a scholarship that reduced my final bill to $7，200.Most other English-language master programs in Thailand cost between $6,000 and 10,000 per year.
I lived in a small studio apartment with free Wi-Fi for a total of around $167 per month, including water, electricity and limited cable TV.Meals at the university canteen，on the street or at small food shops cost between $1.00 and $1.50 , or between $1.50 and $2.00 at small food courts.With cheap and delicious food always easy to find, you didn't need to worry about cooking unless you wanted.
Entertainment was also quite, cheap.A 330ml bottle of heer at a bar went for between $2.00 and $4.00, or between $1.00 and $1.50 from a Family Mart.A movie ticket was between $3.00 and S5.00.I stayed quite busy with study and didn't spend much, so I could get by on about $700 per month.Of course, it's possible to pick up a part-time teaching job to help reduce pressure brought by a lack (缺乏）of money, but you need to arrange a work visa (签证）with your employer.
