.
The soils of both portions of Malaysia have been exposed for a long period of time to intense tropical weathering, with the result that most of their plant nutrients have been leached out. Soils typically are strongly acidic and coarse-textured and have low amounts of organic matter. Any organic matter when exposed to weathering is rapidly oxidized, and the soils consequently become even poorer. Soil erosion is always a danger on sloping ground, where such additional measures as building contour embankments or planting protective cover crops are required.
16 – What does the passage mainly discuss?
1) Poor soil quality in Malaysia due to weathering
2) Steps needed to be taken to prevent soil erosion
3) Malaysian soil characteristics on sloping ground
4) Nutrients typically found in soils exposed to weathering
.
.
Answer:
.
17 – the phrase “leached” in line 3 is closest in meaning to ----------------- .
1) absorbed
2) enhanced
3) protruded
4) removed
.
.
Answer:
.
18 – According to passage, soils are usually all of the of the following EXCEPT ---------------.
1) acidic
2) weathered
3) coarse in structure
4) low in organic matter
.
.
Answer:
.
19 – Where does the author state that more additional steps are required for soil protection?
1) Sloping ground
2) Both portions of Malaysia
3) Tropical regions
4) Soils with oxidized organic matter
.
.
Answer:
.
20 – The passage includes all of the following EXCEPT -----------------.
1) description
2) problem presentation
3) classification
4) cause and effect
.
.
Answer:
.
Although measures to stop soil erosion are now used in most technologically advanced countries, the problem remains a major one. It is particularly severe in the tropics, where high rainfall and steeply sloping ground favour the rapid loss of any soil exposed by agriculture, and around the edges of the world’s deserts, where destruction of natural plant cover by cultivation or livestock grazing causes soil loss through wind action and the spread of desert-like conditions.
To prevent wind erosion, shelter belts of trees have been planted to break the force of the wind. The practice of covering soils with plant litter ( mulch ) when they are not actually covered with growing plants also helps to hold them in place. Cultivating at right angles to the direction of the wind further serves to prevent wind erosion.
.

1) the causes of a problem

Answer:

In irrigation agriculture, in which water is brought in to supply the needs of crops in an area with in sufficient rainfall, a particular soil-management problem that develops is the salinization (concentration of salts) of the surface soil. This most commonly results from inadequate drainage of the irrigated land; because the water cannot flow freely, it evaporates, and the salts dissolved in the water are left on the surface of the soil. Even though the water does not contain a large concentration of dissolved salts, the accumulation over the years can be significant enough to make the soil unsuitable for crop production. Effective drainage solves the problem; in many cases, drainage canals must be constructed and drainage tiles must be laid beneath the surface of the soil. Drainage also requires the availability of an excess of water to flush the salts from the surface soil. In certain heavy soils with poor drainage, this problem can be quite severe; for example, large areas of formerly irrigated land in the Indus basin, in the Tigris-Euphrates region, in the Nile Basin, and in the western United States have been seriously damaged by salinization.
