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.

选项
答案
B
解析
空格后是名词use,且分析句子结构可知,and连接三个并列的名词性短语,因此空格处应填入形容词修饰use,且该形容词应与heavy和multiple语义场一致。空格所在句的意思是:三个因素都增加了农业产量,此处指的应是大量使用农业化学品,故B)abundant“充裕的,丰富的”为本题答案。
