The shorter growing seasons expected with climate change over the next 40 years will endanger hundreds of millions of already poor people in the global tropics, say researchers working【C1】______the world’s leading agricultural organisations.
The effects of climate change are likely to be seen across the entire tropical【C2】______but many areas previously considered to be【C3】______food secure are likely to become highly【C4】______to droughts, extreme weather and higher temperatures, say the researchers with the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research.
Intensively farmed areas【C5】______northeast Brazil and Mexico are likely to see their【C6】______growing seasons fall below 120 days, which is critical for crops【C7】______corn to mature. Many other places in Latin America are likely to【C8】______temperatures that are too hot for bean【C9】______, a staple in the region.
The impact could be【C10】______most in India and southeast Asia. More than 300 million people in south Asia are likely to be affected even with a 5% decrease in the【C11】______of the growing season.
Higher peak temperatures are also expected to take a heavy【C12】______on food producers. Today there are 56 million crop-dependent people in parts of west Africa and India who live in areas where, in 40 years, maximum daily temperatures could be【C13】______than 30℃. This is【C14】______to the maximum temperature that beans can tolerate,【C15】______corn and rice yields suffer when temperatures【C16】______this level.

What this study suggests is that the speed of climate【C20】______and the magnitude of the changes required to adapt could be much greater."

选项
A、agony
B、toll
C、weight
D、plague
答案
B
解析
上下文语义题兼考查固定搭配。上文提到了酷热影响到了一些地区的大豆产量,此处空格前的also一词暗示这里应该讲另一影响对象,即food producers“粮食生产者”,因此,不定式后面的动词短语应能表示“影响”之意,take a heavy toll on sb./sth.为固定表达,意为“对……造成重大损失”,符合语义。
