GWD5-Q21:
In Teruvia, the quantity of rice produced per year is currently just large enough to satisfy domestic demand. Teruvia’s total rice acreage will not be expanded in the foreseeable future, nor will rice yields per acre increase appreciably. Teruvia’s population, however, will be increasing significantly for years to come. Clearly, therefore, Teruvia will soon have to begin importing rice.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. No pronounced trend of decreasing per capita demand for rice is imminent in Teruvia.
B. Not all of the acreage in Teruvia currently planted with rice is well suited to the cultivation of rice.
C. None of the strains of rice grown in Teruvia are exceptionally high-yielding.
D. There are no populated regions in Teruvia in which the population will not increase.
E. There are no major crops other than rice for which domestic production and domestic demand are currently in balance in Teruvia.
我觉得E比较合理，但答案是A。大家是怎么看的呢？作者: msufcufou 时间: 2010-12-23 20:14
E中你加入了自己的推理：就是no major crops可以代替rice满足原先人们对rice的需求。其实应该是无关选项
逻辑就是要直接，A是最直接的作者: IMARCUS 时间: 2010-12-25 21:09
