In Teruvia, the quantity of rice produced per year is currently just large enough to satisfy domestic demand. Teruvia’s total rice acreage will not be expanded in the foreseeable future, nor will rice yields per acre increase appreciably. Teruvia’s population, however, will be increasing significantly for years to come. Clearly, therefore, Teruvia will soon have to begin importing rice.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A.No pronounced trend of decreasing per capita demand for rice is imminent in Teruvia.
B.Not all of the acreage in Teruvia currently planted with rice is well suited to the cultivation of rice.
C.None of the strains of rice grown in Teruvia are exceptionally high-yielding.
D.There are no populated regions in Teruvia in which the population will not increase.
E.There are no major crops other than rice for which domestic production and domestic demand are currently in balance in Teruvia.
题目分析：A说对于大米的需求，原文反复谈的就是需求和供给的关系，留着。B说不是所有种大米的土地都适合种大米，没提过，杀。C说T这块的大米不是都那么高产，高产？主观性评价，原文的产量算高算低，不知道，无法建立必然联系，需要发散，杀。D说没有人口密集区的人口数量不会上升，双重否定就是说人口会增加，这个好像就是原文直接说出来的，不是假设，杀。E说除了大米之外的major crops，范围不对，杀。
