Nowadays, the increase in the prices of agricultural products is one of the greatest concerns of the people and the government. The government has announced a series of policies(政策) to prevent the prices from rising further. Rising housing prices is still a big concern for the people, but since farm products are needed every day, the increase in their prices has made life very difficult for them.
Many people may think the increase will help farmers. But have higher prices of farm products really benefited the farmers? 
Take the increase in vegetable prices in the first half of this year for example. Though natural disasters such as droughts and spring frost did not cause the prices of farm products to increase greatly—in fact, prices of some products did not increase at all—vegetables have become dearer by as much as 20 percent compared to that of last year. This means only a small part (or even none) of the extra money that city people have paid to buy farm products has gone to the farmers. The extra cost actually has gone to middlemen.
As the fact shows, just increasing prices of farm products will have negative influence on the entire economy. On one hand, the price increase has created some abnormal phenomena, which hurts farmers’ interests. On the other hand, resources will enter the agriculture because of the high price of farm products, which would finally create negative effect on the whole economy.
In such a case, it would be better to leave the market to decide the prices instead of raising farm products’ prices to protect the interests of farmers. Actually, such a way will be better for farmers in the long run.

試題分析:
1.B 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段可知農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的價(jià)格上升對(duì)于農(nóng)民并沒有說明好處,錢沒有被農(nóng)民獲得,是被中央環(huán)節(jié)的人賺了,故B正確。
2.D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句Many people may think the increase will help farmers.說明D正確。
3.D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段3,4行Rising housing prices is still a big concern for the people說明房?jī)r(jià)太高對(duì)于人們來說仍然是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的問題。故D的說法是錯(cuò)誤的。
4.A 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段1,2行it would be better to leave the market to decide the prices instead of raising farm products’ prices to protect the interests of farmers.說明作者認(rèn)為應(yīng)該讓市場(chǎng)去決定價(jià)格而表示人為地提高農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的價(jià)格。說明他對(duì)提高農(nóng)產(chǎn)品價(jià)格持反對(duì)意見,認(rèn)為這樣做是不正確的。故A正確。
考點(diǎn):考查經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀
點(diǎn)評(píng):對(duì)于經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀要抓細(xì)節(jié)和判斷,同時(shí)注意作者對(duì)某種經(jīng)濟(jì)現(xiàn)象所持有的態(tài)度與觀點(diǎn)。
