參考答案【正確答案：7】
根據(jù)信號詞Production of biofuels are subsidized可回文定位到第2段：The second is the misguided policy in the U. S. and Europe of subsidizing the diversion of food crops to produce biofuels like corn-based ethanol:第二是美國和歐洲國家的誤導政策，該政策在經(jīng)濟上支持把糧食加工成生物燃料，比如把玉米加工成乙醇。
請注意題干信息與原文的語義對應：題干的Production of biofuels (生物燃料的生產(chǎn)）對應原文的produce biofuels (生產(chǎn)生物燃料）；題干的are subsidized (受到資助）對應原文的subsidizing(進行資助）。比對選項，可發(fā)現(xiàn)G項恰與上述定位信息語義一致，故選G。
