Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer A, B, C or D, and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square bracket on your Answer Sheet. Intensive agriculture requires human labor to build and maintain irrigation systems and terraces. People must feed, water, and care for their animals. Given sufficient labor input and management, agricultural land can yield one or two crops annually for years or even generations. An agricultural field does not necessarily produce a higher singleyear yield than does a horticultural plot. The first crop grown by horticulturalists on longidle land may be larger than that from and agricultural plot of the same size. Furthermore, because agriculturalists work harder than horticulturalists do, agriculture39。s yield relative to labor is also lower. Agriculture’s main advantage is that the longterm yield per area is far greater and more dependable. Because a single field sustains its owners year after year, there is no need to maintain a reserve of uncultivated land as horticulturalists do. This is why agricultural societies are more densely populated than are horticultural ones. The range of environments open to human use widens as people increase their control over nature. Agricultural populations exist in many areas that are too arid for no irrigations in arid lands arose on an agricultural base. The demographic, social, and political consequences of plant cultivation are most extensive among agriculturalists, illustrating the general evolutionary trends discussed earlier. Most agriculturalists live in nationstates. In such societies, cultivators play their role as one part of a differentiated functionally specialized, and tightly integrated sociopolitical system.51.
