2016年12月英语六级考试时间为12月17日，还有不到半个月的时间，小伙伴们都复习的怎么样了?小编特意带来了英语六级翻译模拟题，方便大家复习。

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

农业是中国的重要产业。中国的农业产居世界首位，主要出产大米、小麦、土豆、花生、茶叶和棉花。尽管中国的可耕地(arable land)仅占世界的10%，但是中国却为世界上20%的人口提供粮食。由于中国是发展中国家且可耕地严重匮乏，中国的农业一直是劳动密集型(labor-intensive)。中国政府密切关注农业，加大投资力度，积极开展灌溉和水资源保护，以提髙农业生产的现代化水平，使得中国各类农产品的产品迅速增加。然而，由于人口众多，人均农产品产量很低。
