14. Federal agricultural programs aimed at benefiting one group whose livelihood depends on farming often end up harming another such group. 联邦政府农业项目使一个以农为生的群体受益的同时也损害了另一个以农为生的群体的利益. Which of the following statements provides support for the claim above? I. An effort to help feed-grain producers resulted in higher prices for their crops, but the higher prices decreased the profits of livestock producers. II. In order to reduce crop surpluses and increase prices, growers of certain crops were paid to leave a portion of their land idle, but the reduction was not achieved because improvements in efficiency resulted in higher production on the land in use. III. Many farm workers (指农田里的工人,国外的农田应该不像我们这种种的吧,一家人种一亩三分地??)were put out of work when a program meant to raise the price of grain provided grain growers(指农田的所有人,是老板吧) with an incentive to reduce production by giving them surplus grain from government reserves |
