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、agony
B、toll
C、weight
D、plague
答案
B
解析
上下文语义题兼考查固定搭配。上文提到了酷热影响到了一些地区的大豆产量,此处空格前的also一词暗示这里应该讲另一影响对象,即food producers“粮食生产者”,因此,不定式后面的动词短语应能表示“影响”之意,take a heavy toll on sb. /sth,为固定表达,意为“对……造成重大损失”,符合语义。从语义上讲,最高温度的上升可以给粮食生产者带来“痛苦”或“负担”,但A项agony“痛苦”和C项weight“重担:重量”均无法与take a heavy…on构成语义通顺的搭配,故排除。D项plague作“令人头疼的事物”讲时,常用于短语a plague on sb. /sth. ,跟文中的短语结构也不符。
