The alarming【C1】______ , which is forecast to continue as demand for food and productive land increases, will add to the risks of conflicts unless【C2】______ actions are implemented, warns the institution behind the report.

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

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,又根据下文提到的重耕多收和大量使用农业化学品可知,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。
