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.

选项
A、strike
B、intensify
C、lessen
D、ease
答案
B
解析
上下文语义题。此处填入谓语动词,说明气候变化对农业的影响与饥饿和贫困之间的关系。纵观全文,都是讲气候变化带来的不良影响,此处应该是指气候变化会造成饥饿或贫穷加剧,故选intensify“加剧”。
