The United States has the largest economy in the world (32). The size of an economy is usually described in terms of the Gross Domestic Product. The Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, is the value of all goods and services produced in a country in a year. In 2004, the United States had a GDP estimated at close to 12 million million dollars. What percentage of that was agriculture (32) (33)? The government says just 9/10 of one percent (33). 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(34). 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 farmer 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(35). 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.
选项

B、American industry.
C、American GDP.
D、American economy.
答案
A
解析
从题目选项来看,该题可能考查讨论的对象。可以从“The United States has the largest economy in the world(美国是世界上经济最强的国家)”和“What percentage of that was agriculture(农业在其中占有什么样的百分比)”得知,虽然文章开头提到了经济,但后来一直在分析农业经济状况,故可推测出正确答案。
