A third of the planet’s land is severely degraded and fertile soil is being lost at the rate of 24bn tonnes a year, according to a new United Nations-backed study that calls for a shift away from destructively intensive agriculture. The alarming【C1】________, which is forecast to continue as demand for food and productive land increases, will add to the risks of conflicts unless【C2】________actions are implemented, warns the institution behind the report.
"As the ready supply of healthy and productive land dries up and the population grows, competition is【C3】________for land within countries and globally," said executive secretary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) at the launch of the Global Land Outlook. "To【C4】________ the losses, the Outlook suggests it is in all our interests to step back and rethink how we are managing the pressures and the competition. "
The Global Land Outlook is【C5】________as the most comprehensive study of its type, mapping the interlinked impacts of urbanization, climate change, erosion and forest loss. But the biggest factor is the【C6】________of industrial farming. Heavy tilling, multiple harvests and【C7】________use of agrochemicals have increased yields at the【C8】________of long-term sustainability. In the past 20 years, agricultural production has increased threefold and the amount of irrigated land has doubled, notes a paper in the Outlook by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European commission. Over time, however, this【C9】________fertility and can lead to abandonment of land and【C10】________desertification.
A) absorb I) limited
B) abundant J) rninimize
C) billed K) occasionally
D) decline L) optimizes
E) diminishes M) rate
F) expansion N) remedial
G) expense O) ultimately
H) intensifying
【C3】
选项
答案
H
解析
空格前是be动词,分析句子结构可知,空格处可以填入形容词作is的表语,也可以填入动词的分词形式与is一起构成句子的谓语。上文提到,健康、多产的土地供应枯竭,而人口在不断增长,这就势必会导致各国乃至全球对土地的竞争日趋激烈,因此H)intensifying“(使)增强,(使)加剧”为本题答案。
