答案                 One Major Problem in the Process of Urbanization
    Nowadays with the development of economy,existing cities are growing bigger and new cities are appearing. No doubt,this process of urbanization has brought about fundamental changes in China. More and more people begin to live a well-off life. More and more areas take on a modern look. However,some problems also emerge from the spread of urbanization. Among others,I think,the increasing loss of arable land is such a problem of our major concern.
    For one thing,city building and expansion involves a huge expense of land. At present,cities are already thickly built-up. City constructors have to turn to the farmland. There they set up more factories and plants; there they construct highways and other forms of infrastructure. As a result,the size of the arable land shrinks quickly. As a side effect,a lot of farmers become surplus laborers. For a living they crowd into the cities,which will worsen the situation of city unemployment.
    What’s more,national conditions of China determine that the problem of land loss is a serious one. As we all know,China has the biggest population in the world. It is also a known fact that China ranks very low in terms of the size of arable land per capita. As a matter of fact grain supply has always remained a heavy burden in our country. With the reduction of farmland,the problem has become even more acute. Apparently,we do not feel much of the pressure these days. There are two reasons. One is that we have reaped successive harvests. The other is that we have been importing grain. However,neither of them is reliable in the long run. Natural disasters may fall some day. Foreign countries may repudiate grain exportation for political reasons. Evidently,a country with a big population like China will be perilous if she cannot afford the supply of its own food.
    In a word,among the problems posed by the process of urbanization,land loss is doubtless one of a serious nature in the actual context of China. We seem to be involved in a conflict then. Specifically we pursue the line of urbanization as a necessary part of modernization on the one hand,and face the dangerous loss of farmland on the other. The best solution, I suppose, is to make the most and best of every inch of land through reasonable planning.
