　　文章大概意思是说，农民要想成功，必须在生产和消费之间留有较大的余地。他必须储存大量的粮食，而不是将所有的粮食马上消费掉。只要生产有了剩余，他才能养活自己和家人。他有三种方式使用剩余粮食：播种用，以防天有不测；用作商品卖掉；修建灌溉沟渠等改善农田。没有余粮，农民就不能自给自足。要么卖掉一些财产，要么贷款寻找资金。自然他会努力获得低息贷款，但是这种贷款不是经常能够借到。

　　重点词汇：surplus 剩余，赢余，这里表示多余的粮食。

　　解题思路重点回顾：

　　If a farmer wishes to succeed, he must try to keep a wide gap between his consumption and his production. He must store a large quantity of grain 41(选项前后意思相反，表明需要有选择意思的转折词)consuming all his grain immediately. He can continue to support himself and his family 42(这是个主从复合句结构：主句有情态动词，从句是含有if的条件句)he produces a surplus. He must use this surplus in three ways: as seed for sowing, as an insurance 43(选词和前面的短语应是固定搭配) the unpredictable effects of bad weather and as a commodity which he must sell insgroupsto 44 old agricultural implements(上下文句意：作为商品卖掉粮食以替换旧农具)and obtain chemical fertilizers to 45(习惯的动宾搭配) the soil. He may also need money to construct irrigation 46(句意词义搭配：修建灌溉水渠) and improve his farm in other ways. If no surplus is available, a farmer cannot be 47(根据语篇逻辑所显示的意思). He must either sell some of his property or 48(下文borrow money能够作选词提示，因为两句话的宾语意思funds和money基本相似，而且连词是Naturally，所以选项中的动词应该选择borrow的近义词) extra funds in the form of loans. Naturally he will try to borrow money at a low 49 of interest(习惯搭配), but loans of this kind are not 50(表示时间的频度副词)obtainable.

　　41.［C］instead of 42.［A］only if 43.［B］against 44.［A］replace

　　45.［C］feed 46.［D］channels 47.［B］self-sufficient 48.［D］seek

　　49.［C］rate 50.［D］frequently
