问题     The promise of finding long-term technological solutions to the problem of world food shortages seems difficult to【S1】______. Many innovations (改革, 创新) that were once heavily supported have since fallen by the wayside. The proposals themselves were technically【S2】______. but they proved to be economically unavailable and culturally unacceptable to their consumers.
    One characteristic【S3】______to unsuccessful food innovations has been that, even with extensive support, they often have not been technologically adapted or culturally acceptable to the people for whom they had been developed. A successful new technology, therefore, must【S4】______the entire social-cultural system in which it is to find a place.
    The adoption of new food technologies depends on more than these technical and cultural【S5】______. economic factors and governmental policies also strongly influence the ultimate success of any innovation. Economists in the Anglo-American tradition have taken the【S6】______in investigating the economics of technological innovation. (Although they exaggerate in【S7】______that profitability is the key factor guiding technical change — they completely disregard the substantial【S8】______of culture — they are correct in【S9】______the importance of profits). Most technological innovations in agriculture can be【S10】______used only by large landowners and are only adopted if these profit-oriented business people believe that the innovation will increase their incomes.
[A] fully [F] considerations [K] common
[B] stressing [G] lead [L] largely
[C] attempt [H] average [M] visible
[D] claiming [I] fit [N] fulfill
[E] adapting [J] feasible [O] effects
【S5】
选项
答案F
解析 空前的these technical and cultural表明，本空应填复数名词，[F]considerations和[O]effects入选。结合语境，后半句说到经济因素和政府政策也会强有力地影响任何创新最后的成功，第二段也提到失败的创新在技术上不能适合人们或在文化上不被人们接受。由此可推断出，新的粮食技术能否被采纳不仅仅要考虑它们是否在技术和文化上被需要的人接受，还要考虑经济因素和政府政策，故答案为[F]considerations“考虑，考虑的事”。
