Global warming is already cutting substantially into potential crop yields in some countries—to such an extent that it may be a factor in the food price increases that have caused worldwide stress in recent years, researchers suggest in a new study. Wheat yields in recent years were down by more than 10 percent in Russia and by a few percentage points each in India, France and China compared with what they probably would have been without rising 【C1】______, according to the study. Corn yields were off a few percentage points in China, Brazil and France from what would have been 【C2】______, said the researchers, whose findings were published in Friday’s 【C3】______ of the journal Science.
Some countries saw small gains from the temperature increases, however. And in all agricultural countries, the 【C4】______ carbon dioxide that humans are pumping into the air acted as a fertilizer that encouraged plant growth, 【C5】______ some of the losses from rising temperatures caused by that same greenhouse gas. The study’s authors, 【C6】______, found that when the gains in some countries were weighed against the losses in other countries, the overall global 【C7】______ of climate change has been small so far: losses of a few percentage points for wheat and corn from what they would have been without climate change. The general impact on production of rice and soybeans was 【C8】______, with gains in some regions entirely counterbalancing losses in others.
But the authors of the study pointed out that temperature increases were expected to 【C9】______ in coming decades, making it likely that the challenges to food production will grow in an era when demand is expected to 【C10】______ sharply. [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格所在句结构完整,因此空格处应填入副词作状语。本句的“全球性气候变化对小麦和玉米产量下降几个百分点的……甚小”是上一句“一方面二氧化碳引起的升温造成农作物产量减少,另一方面二氧化碳又作为肥料促进了植物生长”的结果,故选表“结果”的consequently“因此,所以”。本句是由上一句得出的结论,并不让人意外,surprisingly表示“意外地”不符合语境。
