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 prices
were 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】______
【S5】
选项
答案
just—only
解析
搭配错误。词组only to…的含义是“不料,结果却”,符合句意:农民在收割后不久就将小麦卖掉。以便在债务到期前还清。结果却看着价格上涨、投机商发迹。此处的“only+to不定式”这一习惯结构作为结果状语常常用以表示一种预料不到的结果。
