During the early years of this century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada. When the crops were good, the【S1】______was good; when the crops failed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the【S2】______and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they were growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly【S3】______topic of conversation.
War set the stage for the most dramatic events in【S4】______the western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative(投机的)grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were【S5】______low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had【S6】______too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due, only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various【S7】______, producer groups asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.
【S8】______to check inflation and rising living costs, the federal government appointed a board of grain supervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was【S9】______, and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919, the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board, with【S10】______authority to buy, sell, and set prices.
A)happened I)appointed
B)due J)increasingly
C)handle K)suspended
D)anxious L)occasions
E)full M)yields
F)economy N)generally
G)favorite O)firmer
H)marketing
【S8】
选项
答案
D
解析
形容词填空。包含该空的词组“______ to check inflation and rising living costs,”是一个分词作(原因)状语的结构。根据语法规则,如果作状语的分词是系表结构(being+形容词)时,我们可以省略being而直接用形容词。根据以上句法分析以及语境的意思,我们可以确定[D]anxious为正确答案。
