The United States has the largest my in the world. The size of an economy is usually described in terms of the Gross Domestic Product, The Gross Domestic Product, or G. D. P., is the value of all goods and services produced in a country in a year. In 2004, the United States had a G. D.P. estimated at close to 12 million million dollars. What percentage of that was agriculture? The government says just 9/10 of one percent, Farm workers make up an even smaller percentage of American labor: 7/10 of one percent.
In 2004, almost 20 percent came from industry -- and almost 80 percent came from services. The number of farms continues to decrease in America, whereas farm earnings have risen to record levels in recent years. Agricultural productivity continues to increase because of new technology and methods. But the Agriculture Department estimates that 9 percent of farm income last year came from government payments. That number is expected to decrease in the future.
Exports have provided American farmers with an average of about 25 percent of their money for the last fifteen years. Canada and Mexico are two of the three biggest markets for American farmers. In fact, in 2002, Canada replaced Japan for the first time as the top buyer of American agricultural exports. The Department of Agriculture says exports to the European Union are slowing. But exports to other countries within the Americas and to Asia are growing.
What is the passage mainly about?
What percentage of American GDP was occupied by agriculture?
选项
A、0.7 percent.
B、20 percent.
C、0.9 percent.
D、80 percent.
答案
B
解析
本题问“农业在美国的国内生产总值中占多少比例?”短文指出,What percentage of that was agriculture? The government says just 9/10 of one percent. 由此可知,根据政府公布的数据,农业在国内生产总值中占0.9%。据此可以确定[B]“百分之零点九”正确。根据短文Farm workers make up an even smaller percentage of American labor:9/10 of one percent. 可知,[A]百分之零点七指的是农场工人所创造的产值占美国劳动力产值的比例,排除了[A];短文还提到,In 2004,almost 20 percent came from industry— and almost 80 percent came from services. 由此可知[C]百分之二十和[D]百分之八十分别为工业和服务业在GDP中所占的份额,排除了[C]和 [D]。
