问题     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.
    "We are starting to see much more clearly【C17】________the effects of climate change on agriculture could【C18】________hunger and poverty," said research leader Parti Kristjanson. "Farmers already【C19】________variable weather by changing their planting schedules. 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、felt
B、induced
C、dealt
D、charged

答案A

解析 上下文语义题。此处为被动语态,填入过去分词说明生长期缩短的影响在印度和东南亚是怎样的。根据后文所讲的南亚受影响的具体情况,可推断这里是讲印度和东南亚也遭遇了生长期缩短的影响,A项felt为feel的过去分词,意为“感受到”,符合语境。B项induced“引起”通常指引起某种具体的状况,不宜说The impact could be induced“会引起影响”,常见表达应是“产生/造成影响”。C项deal作及物动词用时,可表示“打击某人/某物”,其宾语应为具体的对象,impact“影响”为抽象概念,不宜跟deal构成动宾搭配。D项chartge作“控诉”讲时,后接人作宾语,也不宜与impact构成搭配。
