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.

A)forecasting B)prominence C)optimum D)vulnerable
E)guidelines F)motivate G)simply H)risk

M)potentially N)primarily O)characteristics
【C8】
选项
答案
A

空格前的a system of warning...提示空格处可能是动名词,与these events构成动宾搭配。本段首句提到要进行超前干预,故填入空格的词应与warning“预警”相关,forecasting符合上下语义。
