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.

"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.

选项
答案
F
解析
空格前是定冠词the,空格后是介词of,因此空格处应填入名词。此处介绍的是导致健康、多产的土地减少的因素,义根据下文提到的重耕多收可知,此处应该指机械化农业的扩张,故F)expansion“增加,扩张”为本题答案。
