With the【C4】______ of intelligence and manual skill, people have found ways to use plant and animal resources, mineral ores, fuels, and so on. As the number of people on Earth increases, it becomes increasingly difficult for the population to survive【C5】______ the resources of the land. The amount of land is limited. Although agricultural production can be increased by use of【C6】______such as tractors and the addition of fertilizer, the land【C7】______can produce only so much food and no more.

People are only a very small 【C9】______of all the living things on the planet. Yet their numbers create a 【C10】______ on resources that can’t be 【C11】______. For example, the amount of water on Earth is limited; this water is 【C12】______ through natural processes. However, the natural processes for 【C13】______ water can clean only a certain amount of water.【C14】______, a limited amount of petroleum can be found under the Earth’s surface.

The forests cannot clean the air fast enough. The twentieth century began with powerful countries competing to take【C19】______ of the Earth. As an outcome of their hunger, the Earth was abused.

【C1】
选项
A、For
B、Despite
C、In
D、Owing to
答案
B
解析
逻辑关系题。句中的short time与enormous changes形成了对比,故选择[B]Despite“尽管”。[A]For和[D]Owing to不符合原句逻辑,而[C]In又不能突出原句的对比关系,所以均排除。
