Organic farmers had fought to prevent genetically-engineered crops from being【C1】______organic, and it could【C2】______for them. Plants genetically【C3】______to resist insects and other pests【C4】______about 15-percent of United States crop production, but it has become a【C5】______15-percent. Several European countries are refusing to【C6】______genetically-engineered crops from the United States. Jim Skiff, president of the Illinois-based company U-S Soy, says his company will not grow crops with genetically modified organisms, known as G-M-O for short.

【C7】______in April,【C8】______a National Academy of Sciences report【C9】______that C-M-O crops appear to be safe. G-M-O supporters called the report proof【C10】______fears of these crops are【C11】______, while critics called the report proof that the【C12】______of G-M-O crops are not【C13】______known.

选项
A、stay out of
B、take account of
C、do away with
D、make up of
答案
A
解析
前文中avoiding一词提示,有些公司不想卷入这场争议。由此判断,stay out of意为“置身事外”,符合前后逻辑。take account of意为“考虑”;do away with意为“废除";make up of意为“组成”。
