D.All of the above

正确答案:D

答案解析:推断题。A项在第一段开头就已提到。第四段第一句话说道，“但是我们得为将来做准备，没有一些哲学知识，我们是无法理性地做到这一点的。”因此，B项应该是符合题意的。而C项在最后一段也有谈到。所以，答案应选 D。

A.people are buying less food

B.the government is providing less financial support fｏｒagriculture

C.domestic food production has decreased

D.imported food is driving prices higher

正确答案:B

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。
