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
【C10】
选项
答案
J
解析
空格位于冠词a和形容词further之后,且处于整句的主语部分,因此应填入一个单数名词。本句含义为“当地西红柿供给的进一步______将成为该行业发展的另一个阻碍。”由上下文可知此处是说由于此次病虫害,西红柿产量进一步减少,故答案为reduction“减少,降低”。
