根据下面资料,回答36-39题

Some farmers in California are having a hard time picking their crops.There are not enough workers to help them with the harvest.

One farmer used to grow peaches (桃子), but will soon grow almonds (杏仁) instead.Peaches require more labor to harvest.They are easy to be damaged and need careful hand picking.He is now removing his peach trees.Then he will plant almond trees in their places. Almonds are harvested differently.It does not take as many workers to pick them because a machine shakes the almond trees.

The nuts fall on the ground and then are gathered up.The farmer does not have to hire many workers.

Some farmers think there are two reasons why they can' t find enough farm workers.One reason is that there are a lot of well-paid construction jobs in the are

A.Many people are taking these jobs instead of picking fruit.The other reason is that it has become more difficult for workers to come from Mexico into

California.Fewer workers are allowed to get into the country to work on the fruit farms.To settle the problem, farmers hope the government might allow these workers to work as guests.That would help workers provide for their family and help farmers harvest their crops.When the harvest season is over they' ll go back home.Farmers say that unless things change, more fruits will come from other countries.

This is because labor is cheaper in those countries than in the United States.

Why does the peach farmer start to plant almonds

  • A.There is a greater demand for almonds
  • B.Growing almonds takes much less land
  • C.A machine can help get almonds off the trees
  • D.Almonds will fall on the ground when ripe

答案: C
本题解析:

事实细节题。根据第二段最后四句可知,杏仁的采摘方式不太一样,它不需要许多人手来采摘,只需要一台机器摇动杏树,杏仁就会掉落在地上,然后就可以将其收集起来,因此农民不需要雇用太多的工人。由此可知,这就是农民开始种植杏树的原因,故本题选C。
