During the early years of this century, wheat was seen as the very
lifeblood of Western Canada People on city streets watched the yields
and the price of wheat in almost as much feeling as if they were growers. 【S1】________
The marketing of wheat became an increasing favorite topic of 【S2】________
conversation.
War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years,
farmers mistrusted speculative grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange.
Wheat priceswere generally low in the autumn, so farmers could not wait for 【S3】________
markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheat
soon shortly after harvest when farm debts were coming due, 【S4】________
just to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various 【S5】________
occasions, producer groups asked firmer control, but the government 【S6】________
had no wish to become involving, at least not until wartime when 【S7】________
wheat prices threatened to run wild.
Anxious to check inflation and rising life costs, the federal 【S8】________
government appointed a board of grain supervisors to deal with deliveries
from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was
suspended, and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle 【S9】________
with the crop of 1919, the government appointed the first Canadian
Wheat Board, with total authority to buy, sell, and set prices. 【S10】________
【S8】
选项
答案
life→living
解析
易混词误用。尽管两者都有“生活”的含义,但是life着重“生命”,而且作“生活”解时,一般不作前置定语修饰别的名词;而living却常用作前置定语修饰别的名词,例如:living conditions“生活条件”、living expenses“生活开支”。
