问题     In 2002 there were 37,000 farms in New York. Of those, 46 percent had annual sales of more than $10,000. Most of the remaining farms were sideline (副业) operations for farmers who also held other jobs. Farmland occupied 3.1 million hectares (7.6 million acres), of which 61 percent was cropland. The rest was mostly grazing land or woodland.
    Dairying is New York’s most important fanning activity. More than one-half of the state’s farm income comes from the production of milk and cream. Most of the dairy production is sold as fluid milk, although butter and cheese are important products as weft. The dairy areas are located in the Hudson, St. Lawrence, Black, and M6hawk valleys. Cattle are also raised for beef production. Chicken and duck products, including eggs, are also important. Chicken and duck farms are concentrated on Long Island, which is famous for its ducks. Chickens and turkeys are also raised.
    In the production of potatoes, New York ranks among the top dozen states. About one-third of the output comes from Long Island.
    The production of fruit is important in the state. In the late 1990s New York ranked second among the states in production of apples and in the top three states in production of grapes. Sour cherries and pears are also important crops. Most New York apples are grown in Wayne County east of Rochester and in the mid-Hudson Valley. The grapes come from the area along the Lake Erie shore and in the Finger Lakes region, although significant amounts of grapes for wine are grown in eastern Long Island. New York State’s wines are among the best wines produced in the United States.
    In maple syrup (枫糖浆) production, New York compotes with Vermont for top place among the states. The other important crops grown in New York include com, onions, cabbage, and hay. The Ontario Lake plain south of Lake Ontario is the state’s vegetable-growing area and also has numerous flower and plant nurseries(苗圃). Many of the vegetables grown there are canned or frozen. [br] Which of the following statements is tree?
选项 A、In the late 1990s New York ranked third in production Of grapes in U.S..
B、Gropes from Long Island are the best for wine making in the U.S..
C、About one-third of potatoes in the world are produced in Long Island.
D、Farms in Long Island can produce chickens, ducks and turkeys.
答案 D
解析 文中第四段第二句话说“In the late l990s New York ranked second among the states in production of apples and in the top three states in production of grapes.”二十世纪九十年代末，纽约苹果产量在所有州中排第二位，葡萄排前三位，A中说第三不准确。文中第四段最后两句话说，尽管有很多的生产葡萄酒的葡萄来自长岛东部，葡萄主要来自Lake Erie岸边和Finger Lakes区域，纽约州的葡萄酒属于美国最好的葡萄酒之列，所以B选项不对。文中第三段说“In the production of potatoes, New York ranks among the top dozen states. About one-third of the output comes from Long Island.”在生产土豆方面，纽约是12个高产州之一，三分之一的纽约土豆来自长岛，所以C不对。第二段最后两句话“Chicken and duck farms are concentrated on Long Island, which is famous for its ducks. Chickens and turkeys are also raised.”所以D正确。
