Question

【题目】BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- China's economic planning agency Thursday announced a rise in minimum rice purchase prices this year to encourage farmers to grow more grain.

A statement on the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) website said the government would continue the policy of minimum purchase prices in major rice-growing regions in 2011. The rises in the minimum rice purchase price had been approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet, said the statement.

The purchase prices for japonica rice will rise 21.9 percent to 128 yuan (19.4 U.S. dollars) per 50 kilograms, while prices for early and middle-late rice will increase 9.7 percent and 10.3 percent to 102 yuan and 107 yuan per 50 kg respectively.

Rice and wheat are two major grain crops in China.

The State Council pledged Wednesday to step up efforts to boost grain production as drought continues to wreak havoc in north China's wheat growing regions.

China's main wheat-growing regions, including Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Jiangsu provinces, have been plagued by drought since October last year.

Drought has affected about 7.73 million hectares, or 42.4 percent, of the total winter wheat crop area in the country's eight key producing provinces, the Ministry of Agriculture said Wednesday.

China's grain output rose 2.9 percent last year to 546.41 million tons, marking the seventh consecutive year of growth.

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇新华报道。中国经济规划局称由于大米购买价格上涨，这一市场情况鼓励了农民大力种植谷物。

【1】细节题。文章开头就交代了时间，以及来源。根据BEIJING, Feb. 10 (Xinhua)以及 he government would continue the policy of minimum purchase prices in major rice-growing regions in 2011.得出新闻选自2011年2月，因此选C

【2】细节题。根据The purchase prices for japonica rice will rise 21.9 percent to 128 yuan一句可以看出原先价格上涨21.9%过后是128元，所以之前的价格应该是128÷（1+21.9）=105.只能选A

【3】词义推理题。早期价格上涨到102元，中后期上涨到107元，因此是一一对应的，所以是各自地价格，A完全的B尊敬的C各自的D精确地；选C

【4】细节题。根据新闻开头导语可以看到China's economic planning agency Thursday announced a rise in minimum rice purchase prices this year to encourage farmers to grow more grain. 意思是米价上涨鼓励了农民大量种植农作物。与A相符。文章第二段中The rises in the minimum rice purchase price had been approved by the State Council, China's Cabinet可以看出B错误；文中说道drought continues to wreak havoc in north China's wheat growing regions.意思是干旱在北方种植小麦的区域肆虐，与答案C在程度上不相符；根据China's main wheat-growing regions, including Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Jiangsu provinces可以看到这八个省是专门种植小麦，而答案D中说到的是grain producing province，因此排除，故选A

【5】主旨大意题。这个报道讲述的是由于米价的上涨，农民开始大量种植粮食作物，因此选A；B稳定的大米采购保证了大米的产量；C中国政府更加注重大米生产；D中国谷物产量平稳上升。都过于片面，故排除。
