段Ifyouwanttodisturbthecarindustry,you'dbetterhaveafewbilliondollars:Mom-and-popcarmakersareunlikelytobeatthebiggestcarcompanies.Butinagriculture,smallfarmerscangetthebestofthemajorplayers.提到汽车行业,小型汽车制造商不太可能打败最大的汽车公司。然而农业就不一样了,小农场也能成为主导可知,作者开篇提到汽车行业,目的是引起下文,说明了农业特色,故选B项。62.D【解析】推理判断题。文章第二段是通过事例来证明第一段“…smallfarmerscankeeponestepaheadofthebigguys.”小农场也可能会超过大型农场可知,小农场也可能比大农场先占领先机,故选D项。63.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Competitionfrominvestors,developers,andestablishedlargefarmersmakesowningone’sownlandunattainableformanynewfarmers.”来自投资者、开发商和老牌大农场主的竞争使得许多新农民无法拥有自己的土地可知,对于新型的农民来说要拥有自己的土地,即自己的农场还是困难重重的,故选C项。64.A【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“WeattheNYFCneedbroadsupportasweurgeCongresstoincreasefarmlandconservation,aswepushforimmigrationreform,andasweseekpoliciesthatwillensurethesuccessofadiverseandambitiousnextgenerationoffarmersfromallbackgrounds.WithanewfarmbilltobedebatedinCongress,consumersmusttakeastandwithyoungfarmers.”可知,除了在敦促国会增加耕地保护的同时,在推动移民改革的同时,在寻求确保不同背景、雄心勃勃的下一代农民成功的政策时,农民应该为一个更可持续、更公平的农业经济寻求更多的支持,故选A项。,优点英语【2017年】1.【2017·全国卷I,B】IworkwithVolunteersforWildlife,arescueandeducationorganizationatBaileyArboretuminLocustValley.Tryingtohelpinjured,displacedorsickcreaturescanbeheartbreaking;survivalisnevercertain.However,whenitworks,itissimplybeautiful.IgotarescuecallfromawomaninMuttontown.Shehadfoundayoungowl(猫头鹰)ontheground.WhenIarrived,Isawa2-to3-week-oldowl.Ithadalreadybeenplacedinacarrierforsafety.Iexaminedthechick(雏鸟)anditseemedfine.IfIcouldlocatethenest,Imighthavebeenabletoputitback,butnoluck.Mynextworkwastoconstructanestandanchoritinatree.Thehomeownerwasveryhelpful.Awirebasketwasfound.Iputsomepinebranchesintothebaskettomakethisnestsafeandcomfortable.Iplacedthechickinthenest,anditquicklycalmeddown.Nowallthatwasneededweretheparents,buttheywereabsent.Igavethehomeownerarecordingofthehungerscreamsofowlchicks.Theseadvertisethepresenceofchickstoadults;theymightalsoencourageourchicktostartcallingaswell.Igavetheownerasmuchinformationaspossibleandheadedhometoseewhatnewsthenightmightbring.Anervousnighttobesure,butsometimesthespiritsofnaturesmileonusall!Thehomeownercalledtosaythattheparentshadrespondedtotherecordings.Idroveoverandsawthechickinthenestlookinghealthyandactive.Anditwasaccompaniedinthenestbythegreatestsightofall—LUNCH!Theparentshaddonetheirdutyandwouldprobablycontinuetodoso.24.Whatisunavoidableintheauthor’srescueworkaccordingtoparagraph1?A.Efforts
