Wars【C3】______access to water are a rising possibility and the main【C4】______in Africa during the next 25 years could be over this most precious commodity, as countries fight for access to【C5】______resources. "Potential water wars are likely in areas【C6】______rivers and lakes are shared by more than one country," says Mark Evans.

选项
A、conflicts
B、contradictions
C、arguments
D、afflictions
答案
A
解析
名词辨析题。conflict表示“战争,冲突”;contradiction表示“矛盾,反驳”;argument表示“争论,辩论”;affliction表示“痛苦,苦恼”;前文中提到“关于水资源使用权的战争”,那么对下非洲这样的缺水国家自然也存在这样的“战争”,用conflict与前文呼应。
