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、Global warming.
B、Ever-rising prices.
C、Government regulation.
D、Diminishing investment.
答案
A
解析
题干问的是什么影响了日本国内的农产品。新闻末尾提到,全球变暖使得日本国内的农产品更可能受到极端天气的严重影响,故答案为A(全球变暖)。B项(不断上涨的价格)、C项(政府管制)和D项(缩减的投资)新闻中均未提及,故排除。
