11、p yields are rather low.DFarming methods are out of date.答案：D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its oldfashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe”可知，非洲农业需要改变，以摆脱其传统的形象：使用锄头的非常辛苦和累人的工作。由此可推知，当谈及非洲的农业时，人们想到的是落后的耕作方法。故选D。【词汇积累】productivity n. 生产率；生产效率yield n.
