griculture?(那么，普通的家庭園藝愛好者真的能在價格上與工業(yè)農(nóng)業(yè)的規(guī)?；?jīng)濟競爭嗎？)”可知，本空要承接上文，引出下文對能否在價格上競爭的討論，A選項“Let’slookatthenumbers.(讓我們看看這些數(shù)字。)”，引出下文通過列舉數(shù)字進行說明，符合題意。故選A?！?8題詳解】由上文“Assumingyougetsimilaroutputastheprofessionals,a60×60cmcontainerwouldonlygiveyouaround2to3kgperyear.Soatbest,youwouldonlygetyourmoneybackafteraround27years.(假設你的產(chǎn)量與專業(yè)人士相似，一個60×60厘米的容器每年只能給你2到3公斤左右。所以，你最多只能在27年后拿回你的錢。)”可知，上文討論了使用容器種植土豆可能需要很長時間才能回本，再由后文“Well,giventhateverythinggoeswell,youwillstillneedtostartbybuyingseedpotatoes.Inmygardencentrethesedon’tcomecheap.(好吧，既然一切順利，你仍然需要從購買種薯開始。在我的花園中心，這些并不便宜。)”可知，后文是在討論在花園土壤中種植土豆，E選項中“thecontainer”和上文相呼應，“ingardensoil”引出下文種植方式，所以，E選項“Whatifyouabandonthecontainerandjustgrowsomepotatoesingardensoil?(如果你放棄容器，在花園的土壤里種一些土豆呢？)”提出了種植土豆的替代方案，自然地延續(xù)了關于如何更有效地種植土豆的話題。故選E?！?9題詳解】由上文“However,whenitcomestomoredelicateofferings,theoppositeisoftentrue.

Theplantsharvestedonlybyhandcanbecostlytobuy.(然而，當涉及到更精致的產(chǎn)品時，情況往往恰恰相反。只能手工收割的植物可能很貴。)”和下文“Manyherbslikemint,dillandfennelaresotoughthatmuchofthegardeningadviceishowtopreventthemfromtakingoveryourpot.(許多草藥，如薄荷、蒔蘿和茴香，都非常堅硬，因此園藝建議大多是如何防止它們占據(jù)你的花盆。)”可知，這里主要討論了某些植物的價格與其種植難易程度之間的反差，故本空需要引出一個與這種反差相關的觀點。F選項“Thethreemostexpensiveitemsinmysupermarkethappentobetheeasiesttogrow.(我超市里最貴的三種商品恰好是最容易種植的。)”既是對上文內(nèi)容的承接，也為下文進一步討論這些植物的種植提供了鋪墊。故選F?！?0題詳解】由上文“However,whenitcomestomoredelicateofferings,theoppositeisoftentrue.
