问题 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as pressure on food supplies?
  
An international aid group is calling for an overhaul of the world’s food system, saying prices for staples such as corn will double in the next 20 years. London-based Oxfam released a report Tuesday saying demand for food is expected to rise 70 percent by 2030, as climate change, lower crop yields and rising energy prices pressure food supplies.
    The group says those hardest hit will be the poor, who spend as much as 80 percent of their income on food. The report recommends addressing the problem by boosting food reserves, ending the use of food crops in biofuels, and ending speculation in worldwide food markets. It also calls for a shift away from large-scale commercial food producers to smaller local growers.

选项 A、World demand for food will double in the next two decades.
B、The poor will suffer the most if food prices soar.
C、Boosting food reserves could be a way to solve the food problem.
D、Reforms on the scale of food production are recommended.

答案A

解析 事实细节题。新闻开篇提到,一个国际援助组织称主要食品的价格将会在未来20年内翻倍。A“世界粮食的需求在未来20年内翻倍”与新闻提到的“粮食的价格翻倍”有出入,故为答案。
