Potato chips in Japan are being sold for 6 times their normal price. (5) This is after the country’ s main manufacturer stopped sales due to a potato shortage. Storms and floods in its main potato growing region last year caused the worst harvest and more than 3 decades. Local media reports suggest Calbee and its main rival Koikeya are halting almost 50 products.
"We don’t know when we’ll be able to restart," a company spokesman said. Snack lovers are panic buying and many supermarket shelves are bare. Japanese laws limit the amount of imported potatoes that can be used in Japanese made products. (6) Japan says fear of disease is its main reason to block fresh imports. It still only allows potatoes from selected US states. This is only at certain times and on condition that they are processed at factories based near Japanese ports.
(7) But global warming has raised the possibility that domestic produce could be seriously affected by rare weather events more often.
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
5. What problem is Japan facing?
6. Why does Japan limit the import of potatoes?
7. What might affect Japanese domestic produce?
选项
A、It intends to keep its traditional diet.
B、It wants to expand its own farming.
C、It is afraid of the spread of disease.
D、It is worried about unfair competition.
答案
C
解析
题干问的是为什么日本限制进口马铃薯。新闻中提到,对进口马铃薯可能带来疾病的恐慌是日本限制生鲜产品进口的主要原因,故答案为C(担忧疾病的传播)。A项(意图维护传统饮食)、B项(想扩大本国的种植业)和D项(担忧不公平竞争)均与新闻内容不符,故排除。
