概述

各位烤鴨們，今天我們來深入分析一篇雅思閱讀真題文章《Sweet Trouble》，這篇文章圍繞澳大利亞糖業面臨的問題展開，下面從題型、文章內容、難度等方面為大家詳細解讀。

一、題型分布

本次閱讀包含匹配題、選擇題（單選和判斷題）兩種常見題型。匹配題主要考查考生對細節信息的定位和理解能力，需要將人物的觀點與相應陳述進行匹配；選擇題則側重于對文章整體內容的把握以及細節的精準理解。

二、文章內容分析

主題與背景

文章以澳大利亞昆士蘭州莫斯曼鎮的糖業為切入點，講述了該鎮糖業面臨的困境。莫斯曼鎮長久以來依賴甘蔗種植和制糖業，然而近年來，由于糖價暴跌，糖廠瀕臨破產，整個產業受到經濟和環境因素的雙重擠壓。

經濟層面

? 價格危機：20世紀90年代，糖農每噸糖的平均收益約為350澳元，但到2004年初，糖價暴跌至約232澳元的25年低點，這一價格已接近甚至低于種植成本。

? 政府舉措：為避免社會和經濟災難，政府提供超4億澳元鼓勵糖農退出該行業。到當年年底，274名農民接受提議離開，另有約1000人正在考慮。留下的農民通過接受甘蔗付款的大幅削減來挽救糖廠，但這給他們帶來了巨大成本。

環境層面

? 過去破壞：糖業過去因化學物質和營養物質徑流對大堡礁造成損害，但如今莫斯曼鎮的糖農已接近可持續種植模式。例如，沉積物徑流問題大幅改善，土壤流失情況得到扭轉。

? 環保成本：像湯姆·沃特斯等糖農為環保采取了諸多措施，如在溪邊種植樹木緩沖帶、探索最小土壤擾動方法等，但這些舉措成本高昂，卻未帶來更好的甘蔗價格。

三、題目難度分析

匹配題

匹配人物與觀點的題目難度適中。考生需要仔細閱讀文章中每個人物的言論，準確理解其含義，并與題目中的陳述進行匹配。關鍵在于定位準確，同時注意一些表述的細微差別。例如，“Cane sugar may not harm the environment as much as other crops do.”這一陳述，需要準確找到與之對應的Karen Benn的觀點。

選擇題

? 單選題：單選題目主要考查對文章細節的理解和對整體內容的把握。如“the local population would decline if the sugar - processing plant closed.”這一題，需要考生理解Bill Phillips - Turner話語中關于糖廠關閉對當地人口影響的含義。

? 判斷題：判斷題要求考生對文章中的信息進行準確判斷。如“In 2004, the cost of producing sugar in Australia was similar to the selling price.”這一題，考生需要在文中找到關于2004年糖價和生產成本的對應信息進行判斷。

四、備考建議

提升定位能力

在閱讀過程中，要學會快速定位關鍵信息。可以通過關鍵詞、主題句等方法，迅速找到與題目相關的段落和句子。例如，在做匹配題時，可以先瀏覽人物觀點，提取關鍵詞，然后在文章中快速搜索相關表述。

注重細節理解

雅思閱讀對細節的考查非常嚴格，考生需要仔細研讀文章內容，理解每個細節的含義。對于一些復雜的句子和表述，要進行深入分析，確保準確理解。

積累背景知識

雖然雅思閱讀不要求考生具備專業知識，但了解一些常見話題的背景知識有助于更好地理解文章。例如，對于糖業相關的經濟和環境問題有一定的了解，能更快地把握文章主旨和細節。

通過對這篇《Sweet Trouble》的分析，希望各位烤鴨們能對雅思閱讀有更深入的認識，在備考過程中有針對性地提升自己的能力，取得理想的成績！

READING PASSAGE 1

Sweet Trouble

Problems in the Australian sugar industry

The Australian town of Mossman in the state of Queensland sits in a tropical landscape between the rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Eco-tourism is important there; more than 80% of Douglas Shire, of which Mossman is the administrative centre, is protected by World Heritage listing. But for most of the town’s history, forest and reef have been largely irrelevant: since the sugar mill was built in 1894, the town has relied on sugarcane. Now Mossman is holding its breath. For two years the mill used by all the farms has been close to bankruptcy. It is at the centre of the economic shocks that have shaken Australia’s sugar industry, and for lifetime farmers and a long list of cane industry workers a way of life will disappear if the mill closes. Mossman has roughly 160 growers, who now produce less than one million of the nation’s annual cane harvest of 30–40 million tonnes. But it is a microcosm of the industry. All across Australia, the cane-growing business is being squeezed between the pincers of economics and the environment.

The ten-year average return to sugar growers throughout the 1990s was about $350 a tonne. In early 2004, sugar prices plummeted, resulting in a 25-year-low average of around $232 a tonne. Although figures vary widely across farms and regions, that was about what it cost to grow a tonne of sugar in Australia. To forestall social and economic disaster, the Government offered more than $400 million to encourage growers to leave the industry. By the end of the year, 274 farmers had taken up the offer to leave, but another 1,000 are thought to be seriously considering it, allowing those remaining to buy the vacated land and improve their economies of scale.

Fourth-generation Mossman grower Bill Phillips-Turner is one who plans to fight on. ‘The consequences of losing the mill would be catastrophic,’ Bill says. ‘Sugar has a big economic multiplier effect: for every dollar generated from sugar, an additional $7 is generated in the wider community. Because of limited options around here, most people now employed by the industry would have to leave the area to find work.’ The farmer-shareholders have so far saved the mill by accepting substantial cuts to cane payments, but this has come at a big cost to everyone. As chairman of the board of the mill, Bill has presided over tough and unpopular decisions: he has had to sack staff, cut working hours and reduce the workforce. Assets were sold and management was outsourced. They have also worked hard to find new ways of doing business. Ethanol production, using sugar-based fuel, has potential, and co-generation, using cane waste to produce fuel, power, or generate electricity, is another possibility. However, the most preferred alternative is to create a future for the mill as a food factory, turning out quality sugar-based foods.

In addition to the economic struggle, there is the environmental one. The sugar industry has the reputation of being environmentally damaging, but it has some surprising supporters. Douglas Shire mayor, Mike Berwick, is a well-known environmentalist, and might be expected to be anti-cane. ‘There’s no question of the past damage it’s done to the reef through chemical and nutrient run-off,’ he says. ‘But there’s a formula for sustainable cane production and Mossman has nearly reached it.’ Another surprise endorsement for cane comes from the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency’s sugar liaison officer, Karen Benn. ‘I’m less worried about the effect of cane on the environment than I am about other agriculture,’ she says. ‘There are good growers everywhere, but at Mossman they seem to have taken up the challenges faster.’ For example, sediment run-off, previously one of the main environmental problems caused by cane growing, is now nothing like it once was, according to Dr Brian Roberts, co-ordinator of the Douglas Shire Water Quality Improvement Program. ‘North Queensland used to hold the record for soil loss,’ he says. ‘Now ... cane country is accumulating soil.’

However, these improvements have been achieved at a great cost to growers. Now in his 60s, Tom Watters has spent a lifetime on the same farm. Fourteen years ago, he was alerted to the fact his cane could be having an impact on the waterway on Mackay Creek, the narrow waterway that receives all his run-off, and so Tom planted a 5,000-tree buffer along the edge of the creek with rocks to prevent erosion, and began exploring methods that cause minimal soil disturbance. However, none of these costly initiatives has helped him get better cane prices. As his neighbour, Doug Cress, comments that ‘Economically, the [cane growing] doesn’t make much sense. But there’s more to life than money. It’s this addiction to the way of life that keeps many cane farmers growing an under-performing crop. “It’s a good lifestyle,” Doug says. “I spend eight months working on the farm and four months working with our kids while my wife works in town. I’ve been looking at alternative crops, like forestry and cocoa, and it turns out that working away from the farm is the best diversification we could do. However, I still don’t want to do that.”’

It is difficult to see how anyone can deal satisfactorily with the passing of a way of life. Cane farmers have been part of eastern Queensland for more than a century. But, despite the efforts they have put into fighting the good environmental fight, there is no guarantee that the new way of life evolving there will include cane.
