28、ng” is a research area of particular interest to Susan Moran, a researcher with the US department of AgricultureShe explains that in the southwest, irrigation is both difficult and expensiveThere, she says, farmers have a tendency to over irrigate, spending both more time and money than is necessary

31、w much more water it needs Moran believes that if farmers are getting good and timely measurements of plant and air temperature, then they can program when and how much water to give each crop through an irrigation systemNo more water would be used than needed, thus saving cost and conserving water

ATo investigate the use of remote sensing data BTo support whether her viewpoint in the previous paragraphis right CTo show how farmers can reap a harvest DTo criticize those farmers who used too much

37、 water50What is among the best possible ways to help save farmers money? AChanging irrigation BSharing sensing data CBuying one computer DExtending the farmsC Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn t
