听力原文： Europe produces around 20 million tonnes of sugar each year—much more than it consumes. Producers enjoy guaranteed prices some three times those on world markets. High tariffs keep cheaper imports out— while subsidies allow producers to dump millions of tonnes on export markets each year. So unveiling this re- form. the Em’s Agriculture Commissioner Frans Fischler said it recognized the unpleasant truth that an artificially high sugar price in the EU was not economically viable and was bad news for development policy and consumers too. The new proposals would reduce by about a third the guaranteed price that EU producers receive. The proposals would also cut quotas—or the amount of product eligible for subsidies. That should ultimately lead to a drop in production.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the news？
A．Overproduction of sugar.
B．Adjustment of sugar price.
C．Sugar subsidies.
D．Inflation.

正确答案：D
解析：本题为细节题，本则新闻的大意是由于欧洲食糖产量供大于求overproduction，而原来高于世界市场的保证价格guaranteed prices已不能适应经济发展的需求，政府对生产商补贴subsidies造成每年数以百万吨的过剩食糖在出口贱价卖掉，因此欧盟决定将保证价格降低三分之一以实现糖产量的下降。hands-on(通货膨胀)在新闻中未提及，因此选D。
