Thomas Malthus published his Essay on the Principle of Population
almost 200 years ago. Ever since then, forecasters have being warning 【M1】________
that worldwide famine was just around the next comer. The fast-growing
population’s demand for food, they warned, would soon exceed their 【M2】________
supply, leading to widespread food shortages and starvation.

years. Except for relative isolated trouble spots like present-day Somalia, 【M3】________
and occasional years of poor harvests, the world’s food crisis has remained 【M4】________
just around the comer. Most experts believe this can continue even as if 【M5】________

Optimists point to concrete examples of continued improvements in yield.
In Africa, by instance, improved seeds, more fertilizers and advanced 【M7】________
growing practices have more than double com and wheat yields in an 【M8】________
experiment. Elsewhere, rice experts in the Philippines are producing
a plant with few stems and more seeds. There is no guarantee that plant 【M9】________
breeders can continue to develop new, higher-yielding crop, but most 【M10】________
researchers see their success to date as reason for hope.

选项
答案
few→fewer
解析
