In the 1920s demand for American farm products fell, as European countries began to recover from World War I and instituted austerity (紧缩) programs to reduce their imports. The result was a sharp drop in farm prices. This period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier times had been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient. They were paying for machinery, seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods. The prices of the items fanners bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell. These developments were made worse by the Great Depression, which began in 1929 and extended throughout the 1930s.
In 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal Farm Board was organized. It established the principle of direct interference with supply and demand, and it represented the first national commitment to provide greater economic stability for farmers.
President Hoover’s successor attached even more importance to this problem. One of the first measures proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he took office in 1933 was the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which was subsequently passed by Congress. This law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group of people. However, new laws were passed immediately that achieved the same result of resting soil and providing flood-control measures, but which were based on the principle of soil conservation. The Roosevelt Administration believed that rebuilding the nation’s soil was in the national interest and was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expense of other citizens. Later the government guaranteed loans to farmers so that they could buy farm machinery, hybrid (杂交) grain, and fertilizers. (287 words)
The Supreme Court rejected the Agricultural Adjustment Act because it believed that the Act______.
选项
A、might cause greater scarcity of farm products
B、didn’t give the Secretary of Agriculture enough power
C、would benefit neither the government nor the farmers
D、benefited one group of citizens at the expense of others
答案
D
解析
本题属细节题。根据题意,确定答案在第三段第三句“This law was declared unconstitutional by the supreme Court on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group of people.”,再结合该段倒数第二句,从另一角度论证选项D的合理性。A中“scarcity of farm products”在文中没有提到,B、C明显不合理。
