C.things that men should agree upon

D.men’s beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided

正确答案:A

答案解析:该题要求根据上下文推测precedent的词义。分析第四段第一句可以看出precedent和role models一起是并列宾语，所以precedent意义与role models类似，另外从构词法角度分析前缀re前面，在四个选择项当中，符合以上二点要求的只有A项，正确答案是A。

答案解析:本题问的问题是，英国食品价格上涨的主要原因是什么？仔细阅读文章，便知本题的答案可在第3段第1句里找到，即……due chiefly  to the gradual cutting down of government support fｏｒfood。因此，选项B是答案。文中虽提到people are buying less food（第3段最后一句），但这是因为粮食价格高，与选项“使粮食价格上涨的主要原因”，无关，因此选项A是错的。文章未提及选项C和D，因此这两个选项是错的。
