The income gap between Chinas rural and urban residents(居民) has continued to widen during the past few years in spite of rapidly rising rural incomes, Agricultural Minister Sun Zhengcai said here on Wednesday.
The income ratio(比率) between urban and rural residents was 3.28:1 in , against 3.23:1 in , said Sun in his report on the promotion of building a new countryside in . Sun also said the net income of rural residents in different regions also varied widely. The income gap is only one of several problems in rural areas, according to Suns report. While listing the achievements in rural areas in recent years, Sun believed that rural development still followed behind urban development.
We have bigger pressure to ensure the supply of major agricultural products such as grain, he said. Chinas urbanization(都市化) has been speeded up and more rural residents have gone to urban areas, he said.
In this case, more agricultural producers become farm produce consumers, which created more pressure for supply, he said.
Another problem facing Chinas agricultural development is inadequate application of science and technology.
Only 30 percent of scientific and technological achievements have been applied to agricultural production, which is 40 percentage points lower than developed countries, he said.
Despite increased government spending in rural areas, the infrastructure(基础下部组织) is still poor and easily hit by disasters.
According to Sun, the government spent 431.8 billion yuan ($59.15 billion) on agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year, an increase of 80.1 billion yuan over the previous year.
China set aside 11.38 billion yuan to promote a new rural cooperative medical care system and 27.98 billion yuan to support the new compulsory education mechanism in rural area to ensure that all citizens shared the fruits of Chinas reform and opening-up, Sun said.

【小题1】C 推理题。根据倒数第二段According to Sun, the government spent 431.8 billion yuan ($59.15 billion) on agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year和最后一段内容可知这个政府已经采取了很多措施来帮助放在农村经济。C正确。
【小题2】C 推断题。根据下一段Only 30 percent of scientific and technological achievements have been applied to agricultural production说明科技在农业方面的运用还远远不够，这个词指充分利用，故C正确。
【小题3】C 计算题。根据倒数第二段According to Sun, the government spent 431.8 billion yuan ($59.15 billion) on agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year, an increase of 80.1 billion yuan over the previous year.说明今年话了431.8，比去年多了百分之80.1。那么去年大约是351.7.C正确。
【小题4】D 细节题。在第一，二段提及收入差距的问题，即A。第五，六段提及了科技没有充分利用的问题，即B，在第四段中提及了C的问题。中国的城市化并不是农村地区的问题。故D正确。
