In the past 12 months, Nigeria has suffered from a shrinking economy, a sliding currency, and a prolonged fuel shortage. Now, Africa’s largest economy is facing a food crisis as major tomato fields have been destroyed by an insect, leading to a nationwide shortage and escalating prices.
The insect, Tutaabsoluta, has destroyed 80% of farms in Kaduna, Nigeria’s largest tomato-producing state, leading the government there to declare a state of【C1】______. The insect, also known as the tomato leaf miner, devastates crops by【C2】______on fruits and digging into and moving through stalks. It【C3】______incredibly quickly, breeding up to 12 generations per year if conditions are favorable. It is believed to have【C4】______in South America in the early 1900s, and later spread to Europe before crossing over to sub-Saharan Africa.
In Nigeria, where tomatoes are a staple of local diets, the insect’s effects are devastating. Retail prices for a【C5】______of tomatoes at local markets have risen from $0. 50 to $2. 50. Farmers are reporting steep losses and a new $ 20 million tomato-paste factory has【C6】______production due to the shortages.
Given the moth’s ability also to attack crops like pepper and potatoes, Audu Ogbeh, Nigeria’s minister of agriculture, has warned that the pest may "create serious problems for food【C7】______" in the country. Ogbeh says experts are investigating how to control the pest’s damage and prevent its spread, which has gone largely【C8】______until now.
Despite being the continent’s second-largest producer of tomatoes, Nigeria is【C9】______on $ 1 billion worth of tomato-paste imports every year, as around 75% of the local harvest goes to waste thanks to a lack of proper storage facilities. A further【C10】______in local supplies is yet another unwelcome setback to the industry.
A)dependent I)originated
B)embarking J)reduction
C)emergency K)reproduces
D)feeding L)security
E)grazes M)terror
F)halted N)unchecked
G)handful O)untouched
H)multitude
【C1】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格位于介词of之后,故应填入名词或者动名词,且此空格能和a state of...(某种状态)构成固定搭配。空格所在句描述了“这种名为番茄斑潜蝇的昆虫破坏了尼日利亚最大的西红柿产地卡杜纳州80%的农场,致使当地政府宣布进入______状态。”根据句意,病虫害发生后政府应采取紧急应对措施,a state of emergency表示“紧急状态”,故答案为emergency。其他备选项或无法与此处的“状态”构成合理搭配,或搭配之后句子的逻辑关系出现谬误,故排除。
