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."
【C17】
选项 A、when
B、which
C、where
D、what
答案C
解析 语义逻辑题。此处空格前的动词see缺少宾语，而空格后为完整的句子，由此可推断空格后的句子为see的宾语，这里应填入宾语从句引导词，且该引导词在从句中只能充当状语，故只能选择疑问副词。上文提及了很多地区(如Latin American, India, southeast Asia等)受到了影响，根据这一语境断定此处选where“在哪里”最合适，表示“更加清楚地看到在哪些地方气候变化给农业……”。A项when虽为关系副词，但它表示时间，无法呼应上文多处提及的多个地区，故排除。B项which在宾语从句中一般作定语或主语/宾语，而D项what则通常在从句中充当主语或宾语，两者均在用法上不符合。
