参考解析

解析:选项C说“虽然他们坚信自己会成功,但她仍然指出农耕中所面临的许多挑战”,接下来的句子说:"You don't often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down",意思为“一天的休息时间也没有。超市给农民施加了很大的压力,要求把价格降下去”,显然,这些句子是对选项C的内容进行解释。选项C与这些句子的连接符合语篇中概述加分析的模式。
空格前后句都是过去时态,由此推断空格处很可能出现过去时态的句子。选项A说“但是他从未考虑待在他父亲和祖父的农场”。空格前的句子说“罗宾逊,25岁,在约克郡的一个农场长大”,与答案句构成了逻辑上的转折关系。
空格前句说“在英国,农耕是一个重大的政治问题”,空格后句说“2001年那场口蹄疫危机,关闭了成千上万家农场,停止了肉类食品的出口,使公众意识到了英国农业遇到的困境”。选项F说“‘购买英国制造的东西’的运动鼓励消费者不要买更便宜的进口食品”,这是个例子,用来解释说明前句提出的观点。
空格前句说“这种全国性的关注给正在与强大的超市竞争的农民带来了希望”,选项B说“尽管大多数人会从大型超市购买食物,但是数以百计的自由市场变得越来越受欢迎”。从这两个句子所表述的意义来看,空格前句提出观点,选项B进行解释。
空格前后都是过去时态,因此空格处也应为过去时态。选项E说“我反对任何超级型号的东西―他们究竟在我们的苹果上放了什么以使它们变得又大又红?",空格前句说“我开始去农贸市场买东西以蔑视大型超市”,与选项E之间形成意义上的对应关系。
