问题     "But I just paid $1.69 for lifts bottle of wine last week. How come the price is now $ 2.25? What’s going on?"
    There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise. All have to do with the supply and demand factors of economics.
    The first factor is that people drink more wine than ever before. This demand for more wine has increased overall(总体)wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year.
    The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which means that the same number of bottles is produced each year. Wine producers are trying to open up new land to grow more grapes (葡萄). But in at least three wine-producing areas of the world—France, Germany, and California—new vineyards (葡萄园)will not be available in the near tirade. Wines are produced in other countries, such as Italy, Spain and Australia, but none of these countries will be able to fill the demand for good wines.
    The third factor is that costs of wine productions are increasing. The man who make wine are asking for more money, and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming more expensive.
    When the demand for something is greater than tile supply, prices go up. When production costs, meaning the prices of labor and machinery rise, the producer adds this increase to the price of the wine.
选项 A、asking about the price
B、worrying about the price
C、bargaining over the price
D、complaining about the price
答案D
解析 本题为主旨题。文章第一段第一句话是顾客的话“但是上周我买这瓶酒才花了1.69美元，现在为什么卖2.25美元?怎么回事啊?”很显然，说话者是在抱怨价格上涨，因此选D。
