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、thinking
B、considering
C、longing
D、counting
答案
D
解析
本题测试词义搭配。think意为“认为,思考”;consider意为“考虑,认为”; long意为“渴望,热望”;count意为“计算在内,计算”。前面的句子说It shapes a third of the planet’s land area可知,随后提到没有Antarctica,所以应该选D。
