Synthesis of an online debate答案+解析

Questions 1—3

1.a reference to characteristics that only apply to food production

答案：A

題干翻譯：提到一些只適用于食品生產(chǎn)的特點(diǎn)

題目解析：A段第一、二句：Two things distinguish food production from all other productive activities: First, every single person needs food each day and has a right to it; and second, it is hugely dependent on nature.此處體現(xiàn)了food production與其他生產(chǎn)行為的不同之處。而在之后的一句中，說到These two unique aspects 使糧食生產(chǎn)different from any other business，也在此印證了這一點(diǎn)。因此本題答案為A。

2.a reference to challenges faced only by farmers in certain parts of the world

答案：B

題干翻譯：提到一些只有世界上特定地區(qū)的農(nóng)民會面臨的挑戰(zhàn)

題目解析：B段第二句：However, smallholder farmers in developing countries must in addition deal with adverse environments, both natural, in terms of soil quality, rainfall ,etc., and human, in terms of infrastructure, financial systems, markets, knowledge and technology. 文章B段開頭提到了世界各地的農(nóng)民都要面臨一些風(fēng)險，但是根據(jù)第二句得知有些挑戰(zhàn)只是smallholder farmers in developing countries會面臨，這與題目中challenges faced only by farmers in certain parts of the world的表述一致。因此本題答案為B。

3.a reference to difficulties in bringing about co-operation between farmers

答案：H

題干翻譯：提到促進(jìn)農(nóng)民之間進(jìn)行合作的難處

題目解析：H段第四、五句：One commentator, Giel Ton, warned that collective action does not come as a free good. It takes time, effort and money to organize, build trust and to experiment.本題中提到的co-operation between farmers出現(xiàn)在文章H段，第一句便提到了collective action groups, co-operatives or producers' groups,之后寫到了這種做法的好處，但通過第四、五句的表述，可以看到這種做法也是存在difficulties的。因此本題答案為H。

答案：D

題干翻譯：政府的財(cái)政支持并不總是到最需要它的農(nóng)民手中。

題目解析：文章E段重點(diǎn)談到社會保障和社會福利體系的話題，其中Rokeya Kabir提到，these have not compensated for the stranglehold exercised by private traders，并且sixty percent of beneficiaries of subsidies are not poor, but rich landowners and non-farmer traders，因此根據(jù)觀點(diǎn)的人名對應(yīng)，本題答案為D。

6.Financial assistance from the government can improve the standard of living of farmers.

答案：C

題干翻譯：政府的財(cái)政支持可以改善農(nóng)民的生活水平。

7.Farmers may be helped if there is financial input by the same individuals who buy from them.

答案：G

題干翻譯：如果有來自購買者的財(cái)政投入，對農(nóng)民或許是有幫助的。
