A whole (23) of policies, from farm-price support to protection for coal-mining, do environmental damage and (often) (24) no economic sense. Scrapping them offers a two-fold (25) : a cleaner environment and a more efficient economy.

The country subsequently (39) a program to convert 11 percent of its cropped land to meadow or forest. Topsoil in India and China is (40) much faster than in America.
选项
A、however
B、therefore
C、but
D、hence
答案
A
解析
本题测试逻辑搭配。however表示转折,通常用逗号与句子隔开;therefore表示结果;but表示转折,通常用在句首:hence表示结果。前面句子说政府管理资源的表现很差,本句话用的是in an even more harmful way,说明前后句子意思转折,所以应该选A。
