“But I just paid $ 1.69 for this bottle of wine last week. How come the price is now $ 2.25? What’s going on?” There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise. All have to do with the supply and demand factors of economics.
The first factor is that people drinking more wine than ever before. This demand for more wine has increased overall (总体) wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year.
The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which means that the same number of bottles is produced each year. Wine producers are trying to open up new land to grow more grapes (葡萄). But in at least three wineproducing areas of the world—France, Germany, and California—new vineyards (葡萄园) will not be available in the near future. Wines are produced in other countries, such as Italy, Spain and Australia, but none of these countries will be able to fill the demand for good wines.
The third factor is that costs of wine production are increasing. The men who make wine are asking for more money, and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming more expensive.
When the demand for something is greater than the supply, prices go up. When production costs, meaning the price of labor and machinery, rise, the producer adds this increase to the price of the wine.
36. From the first paragraph, we know that the speaker is ____.
A) asking about the priceC) bargaining over the price
B) worrying about the priceD) complaining about the price
37. The three factors mentioned in the passage cause ____.
A) the sales of wine to increaseC) the production of wine to decrease
B) the price of wine to go upD) more and more people to drink wine
38. The supply of wine has remained the same partly because ____.
A) wineproducing countries are unwilling to increase their production
B) new vineyards will not be opened up in such countries as Australia
C) countries like Italy and Spain can’t supply enough good wines
D) the production of wine bottles has ceased to increase
39. What does “production costs” refer to in the last paragraph?
A) The price of grapes and machines.
C) The price of wine and wine bottles.
B) The cost of land and transportation.
D) The cost of manpower and equipment.
40. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ____.
A) persuade people to drink less wineC) explain why the price of wine is rising
B) tell people where to get the best wineD) show that wine is popular with Americans
