Often, (21) , governments act in an even more harmful way. They actually subsidize the exploitation and (22) of natural resources. A whole (23) of policies, from farm-price support to protection for coal-mining, do environmental damage and (often) (24) no economic sense. Scrapping them offers a two-fold (25) : a cleaner environment and a more efficient economy.

The United States, (37) the most careful measurements have been done, discovered in 1982 that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate (38) to diminish the soil’s productivity. The country subsequently (39) a program to convert 11 percent of its cropped land to meadow or forest. Topsoil in India and China is (40) much faster than in America.
选项
A、come to
B、bring to
C、tend to
D、stand to
答案
C
解析
本题测试词组。come to意为“复苏,达到”:bring to意为“使复苏,阻碍”; tend to意为“趋向于,往往”;stand to意为“坚持,遵守”。句子的主语是intensive farming and the abandonment of fallow periods,根据后面的exacerbate soil erosion(使土壤侵蚀的现象恶化)可知,应该选C。
