【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，介绍了农业和自然的关系，经过历史的发展，农民们意识到了两种之间的关系，并能在两者之间取得平衡。

【1】goes 考查时态。本句是when引导的时间状语从句，从句中使用一般现在时代替将来时，且本句主语是farming，所以使用第三人称单数形式goes。

【2】what 考查表语从句。本句中what引导表语从句，并在句中作为系动词is后面的表语。句意：在古代，当人们开始使用土地，农业不是今天这样。

【3】longer 考查固定搭配。短语no longer意为“不再”。句意：当他们在这块土地上不能再种粮食的时候，他们就搬走，再重复做这样的事情。

【4】in 考查固定搭配。短语result in表示“导致”。句意：这种农业破坏自然并导致洪水和干旱。

【5】have recognized 考查时态。当句中的时间状语是“over/during the past/last+一段时间”，通常使用现在完成时。句意：在过去的35年，农民们已经意识到这一点。

【6】it 考查代词。本句中代词it指代上文提到的同一事物the soil。句意：如果土壤太贫瘠，化学物质能够改良土壤并能够种出更好的粮食。

【7】surrounding 考查非谓语动词。动词surround与land构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词短语surrounding the farms修饰名词land。

【8】a 考查冠词。不定冠词a/an表示泛指，定冠词the表示特指。本句中名词“price”是一个可数名词，使用a修饰，泛指一个较低的价格。

【9】into 考查固定短语。短语turn...into....“把……变成……”；句意：他们在土地边修建堤坝把土地变成鱼塘。

【10】successful 考查形容词。横线后面是名词farmers，说明横线上应该使用形容词作定语修饰名词。句意：他们都是很成功的农民。
