Drought, tsunami, violent crime, financial meltdown—the world is full of risks. The poor are often most【C1】______ to their effects. Instead of【C2】______ responding to crises, aid workers and policymakers should anticipate and help to guard against such rare and【C3】______ disastrous events.
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.

In 2007, a typhoon of the same【C7】______ and strength caused only 4,000 deaths. The reason for the change was that the country had built a number of shelters.
It went from having only 12 shelters in 1970 to having 2,500 in 2007. It also had a system of warning the population and a system of【C8】______ these events.
But risk management isn’t just about lessening the effects of crises; it can also help people get ahead.

A) forecasting B) prominence C) optimum D) vulnerable
E) guidelines F) motivate G) simply H) risk
I) adverse J) invest K) offset L) paralyzing
M) potentially N) primarily O) characteristics
【C6】
选项
答案
