Wheat yields in recent years were down by more than 10 percent in Russia and by a few percentage points【C2】______ in India, France and China compared with【C3】______ they probably would have been without rising【C4】______, according to the study.
Corn yields were【C5】______ a few percentage points in China, Brazil and France from what would have been【C6】______, said the researchers, whose findings were published in Friday’s【C7】______ of the journal Science.

选项
A、decreases
B、reductions
C、increases
D、additions
答案
C
解析
语义关系兼词汇辨析题。第一段提到,全球变暖导致粮食产量大大低于预期,进而引起粮食价格的变化,导致近年来全球性的压力。根据常理,可知粮食价格出现了上扬。故选C。deceases“减少”和reductions“减低”均与语意相反,故排除,additions“增加的人或事物”,常与to连用,故排除。
