问题     His future subjects have not always treated the Prince of Wales with the respect one might expect. They laughed aloud in 1986 when the heir to the British【C1】______told a TV reporter that he talked to his plants at his country house, Highgrove, to stimulate their growth. The Prince was being humorous— "My sense of humor will get me into trouble one day," he said to his aids(随从)—but listening to Charles Windsor can indeed prove stimulating. The royal【C2】______has been promoting radical ideas for most of his adult life. Some of his【C3】______, which once sounded a bit weird, were simply ahead of their time. Now, finally, the world seems to be catching up with him.
    Take his views on farming. Prince Charles’ Duchy Home Farm went【C4】______back in 1986, when most shoppers cared only about the low price tag on suspiciously blemisit-free(无瑕疵的)vegetables and【C5】______large chickens piled high in supermarkets.
    His warnings on climate change proved farsighted, too. Charles began【C6】______action on global wanning in 1990 and says he has been worried about the【C7】______of man on the environment since he was a teenager.
    Although he has gradually gained international【C8】______as one of the world’s leading conservationists, many British people still think of him as an【C9】______person who talks to plants. This year, as it happens. South Korean scientists proved that plants really do【C10】______to sound. So Charles was ahead of the game there, too.
A)conform I)recognition
B)eccentric J)respond
C)environmentalist K)subordinate
D)expeditions L)suppressing
E)impact M)throne
F)notions N)unnaturally
G)organic O)urging
H)originally [br] 【C10】
选项
答案 J
解析 空格位于do之后，to sound之前，故应填入动词原形，且能与to构成搭配。结合前文提到的王子对植物说话的事例，再根据该句内容“韩国的科学家证明了植物的确会对声音产生……”可知，正确答案为respond，respond to是固定搭配，意为“对……做出反应”，符合句意。备选的动词原形中还剩下conform“符合，遵照”，不符合句意，故排除。
