问题 Modern agricultural practices have been extremely successful in increasing the productivity of major food crops, yet despite heavy use of pesticides,______ losses to diseases and insect pests are sustained each year.
选项 A、incongruous
B、reasonable
C、significant
D、considerable
E、equitable
答案C，D
解析 The word "despite" suggests the level of losses is somehow surprising given the heavy use of pesticides. The only words that describe an appropriate level of losses are "significant" and "considerable"(Choices C and D), which produce sentences alike in meaning. "Reasonable" and "equitable" also produce sentences alike in meaning, but neither word generates the contrast necessary for the sentence to make sense.
