问题 Contrary to certain recent analyses that paint a dire portrait of soil loss from farmland, a new study of surveying data reaching back to the 1930s shows that erosion rates have been steadily________.
A. intensifying
B. waning
C. accelerating
D. worsening
E. declining
F. deteriorating

选项

答案B,E

解析 逻辑连接词是contrary,表示前后语义相反。前面说与最近(recent)一些对于农田水土流失的可怕的描绘(dire portrait of soil loss)不同,后面说新的研究数据表明1930年以来土壤流失的速率一直是稳定________的。与前面的内容语义取反,新的数据应该表明1930年以来水土流失不严重这一含义,B项waning和E项declining(下降的)符合题意。
