46.  [Y1] Contrary to earlier predictions,demand for sugarcane has notincreased in recent years. Yet,even though prices
and production amounts havealso been stable during thelast three years, sugarcane growerslast year
increased their profits bymore than 10 percent overthe previousyear's level.
Any of the following statements, if true about lastyear, helps to explain[Y2] the rise inprofits EXCEPT:

(A)                  Man[Y3] y countriesthat are large consumers ofsugarcane increased their production of sugarcane-based
ethanol, yet their overallconsumption of sugarcane decreased.
(B)                   Sugarcane growers have savedmoney on wages by switchingfrom paying laborers an hourlywage to
paying them by theamount harvested.
(C)                   The price of oil, the majorenergy source used by sugarcanegrowers in harvesting their crops,dropped
by over 20 percent.
(D)                  Many small sugarcane growers joined togetherto forman associationof sugarcaneproducers and began
to buy supplies at low grouprates.
(E)                    Rainfall in sugarcane-growing regionswas higherthan it had been duringthe previousyear, allowing the
growers to save moneyon expensiveartificial irrigation.
[Y1]这个题目很有意思哈需求没有改变价格也没有变而利润增加了 根据前面买的公式的话只有成本的下降才会使得利润增加成为可能 那你就找成本不是下降的就行了
[Y2]解释 except EADBC 不会的话就蒙AE
[Y3]根本没提到成本错
