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。

2、The following sentence（）is right.【阅读理解A】

A.The authｏｒthinks that we can learn nothing new from the usual fondling, cuddling ａｎｄ　cleaning of babies by their mothers

B.It is rather unusual fｏｒa mother to hold her baby against her body when resting

C.Eighty percent of American mothers put their babies on the left side of the cradle

D.The authｏｒdoes not agree that there is a predominance of right-handedness in the population

正确答案:D

答案解析:文章第一段第四句If asked to explain the significance of this preference most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. （如果问及这种偏好的原因，大多数人回答显然是因为人口中右撇子占多数的结果），但是第6句作者表明 But a detailed analysis shows that this is not the case（但是一项细致的分析表明事实并不是这样的），可见作者不同意人口中右撇子居多。

3、Why is the question of “how easily people can get used to working at night” not a mere academic question?（）【阅读理解A】

C.Because people are required to work at night in some fields of industry

D.Because shift work in industry requires people to change their sleeping habits

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题问“人们能否迅速地适应晚上工作为什么不再是一个纯学术问题”，要求考生按照文章内容进行推断。文章说到，自动化生产要求机器24小时不停地工作，工人也要分3班昼夜轮流工作，因而人们设法适应这种情况是实际生活的需要。因此选项D是答案。选项C只是说在某些行业要上夜班，并未提及倒班，不是本题问及的内容。选项A和选项B与文章内容没有联系。
