Global warming is already cutting substantially into potential crop yields in some countries—to such an extent that it may be a factor in the food price (1)______ that have caused worldwide stress in recent years, researchers suggest in a new study.
Wheat yields in recent years were down by more than 10 percent in Russia and by a few percentage points (2)______ in India, France and China compared with(3)______ they probably would have been without rising(4)______, according to the study.

选项
A、extra
B、overt
C、extraordinary
D、exceeding
答案
A
解析
词义辨析题。此处需要选一个形容词描述人类排放的二氧化碳的量,根据这段话结尾处的greenhouse gas“温室气体”,可知要填一个能够表示过量排放的词,所以选择extra“超额的,过量的”。overt“公开的。明白的”,extraordinary“不平常的,不普通的”;exceeding“极度的,超越的”,均不能表示某事物过量的意思,所以可以排除。
