What does the hamburger say about our modem food economy? A lot, actually. Over the past several years Waldo Jaquith intended to make a hamburger from scratch, to no avail. "Further【C1】______revealed that it’s quite impractical—【C2】______impossible—to make a hamburger from scratch," he writes. "Tomatoes are in season in the late summer. Lettuce is in season in spring and fall. Large mammals are【C13】______in early winter. The【C4】______of making such a burger would take nearly a year and would inherently involve omitting some core hamburger【C5】______ ."
That the hamburger—our delicious and comforting everyman food—didn’t【C6】______100 years ago is a greasy, shiny example of all that is both right【C7】______wrong with our modern food economy. 【C8】______fertilizers, genetically modified crops, concentrated farming operations and global overnight shipping, much of the world was lifted out of starvation【C9】______it could finally grow【C10】______quantities of food with decreasing labor【C11】______.
But these same【C12】______that allow food to be grown out of【C13】______ and in all corners of the globe contribute to a whole host of environmental【C14】______. The "industrialization of food," as author Paul Roberts puts it, is an endless cycle driven by very small price【C15】______that force food processors to【C16】______more advanced techniques to produce even more food【C17】______lower prices. This system will only be aggravated as food demand 【C18】______. Recently David Tilman and Jason Hill of the University of Minnesota released a study【C19】______that global food demand could double by 2050. It’s【C20】______that our current, impractical food economy can sustain that demand.
【C4】
选项
A、steps
B、process
C、procedures
D、price
答案
B
解析
此处意为“制作一个汉堡的______约需要花费一年”,上文的Tomatoes,Lettuce,mammals都是做汉堡过程中需要的原料,制作汉堡的过程中需要采集所有的原料,再结合这几种原料可获得的时间,可判断制作汉堡的过程需要花费一年,因此空格应选表示“过程”含义的词,故选B项。
