The soybean prices ended higher this Monday as traders expect supplies to remain tight. The actively July contract for soybeans rose 20 cents to settle at $14.85 a bushel. The U.S. government's weekly prediction for soybean exports was higher than traders expected, said Mike Zulo,President of a consulting company in Atchison, Kansas. Supplies for beans have been extraordinarily tight as China's demand for soymeal continues to increase even as U.S.production stays relatively steady, he said. Soybean prices have risen about 15 percent this year. “That U.S.D.A. number caused the trade to refocus on just how razor-thin supplies are heading in to next fall's harvest.” Zulo said.

Because the general production of soybean stayed steady.

Because the supplies were expected to keep tight.

Because China’s demand for soybean increased.

Because the trade of soybean was quite active.

正确答案：B

解析

本题考查细节理解。关键词：prices of soybean（大豆价格），rise，why 主题句：第1段：The soybean prices ended higher this Monday as traders expect supplies to remain tight. 周一，大豆价格收盘走高，因为交易商预期其供给将持续紧张。题目意为“根据文章，为什么大豆价格会走高？” A项“因为大豆的总产量保持稳定”；B项“因为大豆预期供给保持紧张”；C项“因为中国对大豆的需求提升”；D项“因为大豆交易相当频繁”。根据主题句，大豆价格上涨是因为交易商预期其供给偏紧，B项符合题意，应当选；A项产量稳定，并不能导致价格上涨，故排除；C项是大豆供给紧张的原因之一，并不是价格上涨的直接原因；D项文中并未提及。故本题答案为B项。
