标题: 思维比较奇怪，感觉不是很直接的答案~ [打印本页] 作者: 斯巴达 时间: 2010-5-5 16:12 标题: 思维比较奇怪，感觉不是很直接的答案~ Escalating worldwide demand for corn has led to a sharp increase in the market price of corn, and corn prices are likely to remain high. Corn is extensive used as feed for livestock, and because profit margins are tight in the livestock business, many farmers are expected to leave the business. With fewer suppliers, meat prices will surely rise. Nonetheless, observers expect an immediate short-term decrease in meat prices.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to justify the observers’ expectation?
A. The increase in corn prices is due more to a decline in the supply of corn than to a growth in demand for it. B. Generally, farmers who are squeezed out of the livestock business send their livestock to market much earlier than they otherwise would. C. Some people who ate meat regularly in the past are converting to diets that include little or no meat. D. As meat prices rise, the number of livestock producers is likely to rise again. E. Livestock producers who stay in the business will start using feed other than corn more extensively than they did in the past.作者: maryrui 时间: 2010-5-5 19:52
注意an immediate short-term decrease，因为many farmers are expected to leave the business，这些人会突然出售，那么短时间内市场上的供应就比正常情况下要多啦。作者: wwhappy 时间: 2010-5-27 14:56
