易错题解析：
Paragraph 3: In addition to dairy farming and cultivating industrial crops, a third sector of the Dutch economy reflected the way in which agriculture was being modernized-horticulture. In the sixteenth century, fruit and vegetables were to be found only in gardens belonging to wealthy people. This changed in the early part of the seventeenth century when horticulture became accepted as an agricultural sector. Whole villages began to cultivate fruit and vegetables. The produce was then transported by water to markets in the cities, where the consumption of fruit and vegetables was no longer restricted to the wealthy.
6. According to paragraph 3, the modernization of agriculture in the Netherlands was evident in all of the following ways EXCEPT
A. The production of fruits and vegetables became a commercial venture.
B.The wealthy stopped growing fruits and vegetables in their gardens and grew flowers instead.
B. Horticultural produce was transported to city markets by water.
D.Many more people were able to afford to eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
题型：否定事实信息题。答案是(A)
解析：排除法。A选项没有很好的关键词，暂时放弃;B的flower没说，原文说的是不只是富人种蔬果，不是富人改种花，所以B说反，选;C的city markets by water做关键词定位至最后一句，正确，不选;同时这句话也说了D选项也正确，不选;倒数第二句说整个村子都种蔬果，也就是A说的commercial venture，A正确，不选
Paragraph 4: In addition to dairy farming and cultivating industrial crops, a third sector of the Dutch economy reflected the way in which agriculture was being modernized-horticulture. ■In the sixteenth century, fruit and vegetables were to be found only in gardens belonging to wealthy people. ■This changed in the early part of the seventeenth century when horticulture became accepted as an agricultural sector. ■Whole villages began to cultivate fruit and vegetables. ■The produce was then transported by water to markets in the cities, where the consumption of fruit and vegetables was no longer restricted to the wealthy.
13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
Some villages specialized in growing cabbages and carrots; others grew onions, mustard, and coriander; and still others produced fruit and cultivated trees in nurseries.
Where would the sentence best fit?
题型：句子插入题。答案是(D)
解析：以villages作过渡点可以确定答案是C或者D，待插入句与C和D点之间的那个句子是总分关系，所以应该先总述village开始cultivate，再分述不同的village，正确答案是D。
