选项 ________(50)
A:But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land.
B:While most people buy food from the big supermarkets,hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.
C:While confident they will succeed,she lists farming's many challenges.
D:Young people prefer to live in cities.
E:I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything一what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red?
F:"Buy British"campaigns urge（鼓励）consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods.
答案 E
解析 选项C说“虽然他们坚信自己会成功，但她仍然指出农耕中所面临的许多挑战”，接下来的句子说："You don't often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down"，意思为“一天的休息时间也没有。超市给农民施加了很大的压力，要求把价格降下去”，显然，这些句子是对选项C的内容进行解释。选项C与这些句子的连接符合语篇中概述加分析的模式。
空格前后句都是过去时态，由此推断空格处很可能出现过去时态的句子。选项A说“但是他从未考虑待在他父亲和祖父的农场”。空格前的句子说“罗宾逊，25岁，在约克郡的一个农场长大”，与答案句构成了逻辑上的转折关系。
空格前句说“在英国，农耕是一个重大的政治问题”，空格后句说“2001年那场口蹄疫危机，关闭了成千上万家农场，停止了肉类食品的出口，使公众意识到了英国农业遇到的困境”。选项F说“‘购买英国制造的东西’的运动鼓励消费者不要买更便宜的进口食品”，这是个例子，用来解释说明前句提出的观点。
空格前句说“这种全国性的关注给正在与强大的超市竞争的农民带来了希望”，选项B说“尽管大多数人会从大型超市购买食物，但是数以百计的自由市场变得越来越受欢迎”。从这两个句子所表述的意义来看，空格前句提出观点，选项B进行解释。
空格前后都是过去时态，因此空格处也应为过去时态。选项E说“我反对任何超级型号的东西―他们究竟在我们的苹果上放了什么以使它们变得又大又红？"，空格前句说“我开始去农贸市场买东西以蔑视大型超市”，与选项E之间形成意义上的对应关系。
