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. 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.
"As the ready supply of healthy and productive land dries up and the population grows, competition is【C3】______ for land within countries and globally," said executive secretary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) at the launch of the Global Land Outlook. "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
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。
