59、geria now has the largest agricultural research system south of the Sahara. That is one measure of progress.

60、rundi, Kenya, Mauritania and Mauritius were spending more than one percent.

66、Nigeria以前在农业研究方面的投资很少，根据第一段的“Nigeria was responsible for onethird of it.”可知这个国家现在在这方面的投资很多，故可知Nigeria“增加”了在这方面的投资。74Which of the following countries might NOT spend enough money on agricultural research in 2008?ABotswana. BBurundi.CUganda. DNigeria.答案：D细节理解题。根据第三段的“But Nienke Beintema says a better
