问题      A leading climate change scientist says the warming of the planet would have a devastating impact on the poor and the hungry. The chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel 【C1】______  Climate Change, Rajendra Pachauri, says the 【C2】______  of climate change will be mainly felt in the areas of health and agriculture. He says it is the poor 【C3】______  would suffer the most from the change. He says heat waves in different parts of the world are making people ill and 【C4】______  many deaths. He says the situation is 【C5】______  bad in poor countries that do not have the infrastructure or necessary means to 【C6】______  people from extreme heat. 【C7】______  the agricultural effects of climate change, Pachauri says a great many people are 【C8】______  on rain-fed agriculture. Climate change would lead to an increase in precipitation ( 降水 ) in temperate areas,【C9】______   a decrease in tropical and sub-tropical areas, where most of the people on Earth live. Those who depend on agriculture for their 【C10】______  , he says, would be 【C11】______  affected by the decrease. "At the global level, with the decline in agricultural 【C12】______  , in the largest countries of the world or the most 【C13】______  countries of the world, we will find that food stocks will 【C14】______  ," Pachauri said. "And, as a matter of fact, that has already started happening. The result of that will be a(n) 【C15】______  in food prices. Now, 【C16】______  in turn, hits the poorest of the poor very badly. "As countermeasures, the farmers will have to 【C17】______  measures such as the more 【C18】______  use of water resources and new strains of crops that can 【C19】______  higher temperatures and lower 【C20】______  of water will have to be developed.
【C16】
选项 A、which
B、what
C、that
D、as
答案C
解析 语法结构题。本句中的in turn“依次，轮流”这个插入语具有干扰视听的功能，去掉这个插入语可知本句需要一个主语。which和as都不可以单独作主语，what作主语通常是在名词性从句中，只有that可指代上文提到的事实，可以单独作主语，符合题意。
