Drought, tsunami, violent crime, financial meltdown—the world is full of risks. The poor are often most【C1】______to their effects. Instead of【C2】______responding to crises, aid workers and policymakers should anticipate and help to guard against such rare and【C3】______disastrous events.
After the world suffered major crises in 2008, the concept of risk management has gained【C4】______in international development. The links between risk, livelihoods and poverty are all too clear. Mounting evidence shows that【C5】______shocks—above all, health and weather shocks and economic crises—play a major role in pushing households below the poverty line and keeping them there.
But forward-thinking interventions can help【C6】______the costs of future shocks. Bangladesh offers a good example. In 1970, a large typhoon caused 300,000 deaths in Bangladesh. In 2007, a typhoon of the same【C7】______and strength caused only 4,000 deaths. The reason for the change was that the country had built a number of shelters. It went from having only 12 shelters in 1970 to having 2,500 in 2007. It also had a system of warning the population and a system of【C8】______these events.
But risk management isn’t just about lessening the effects of crises; it can also help people get ahead.

A)forecasting B)prominence C)optimum D)vulnerable
E)guidelines F)motivate G)simply H)risk
I)adverse J)invest K)offset L)paralyzing
M)potentially N)primarily O)characteristics
【C9】
选项
答案
J
解析
空格应填入动词,构成搭配be likely to do,且可与介词in搭配。本段首句提到“危机管理还要帮助人们进步”,由此可知,得到保险补偿的加纳和印度的农民更可能将钱“投入”到农业上,而不是留着钱预防可能出现的灾害。invest“投资”符合上下语义。
