Wheat yields in recent years were down by more than 10 percent in Russia and by a few percentage points【C2】______ in India, France and China compared with【C3】______ they probably would have been without rising【C4】______, according to the study.
Corn yields were【C5】______ a few percentage points in China, Brazil and France from what would have been【C6】______, said the researchers, whose findings were published in Friday’s【C7】______ of the journal Science.

选项
A、off
B、below
C、up
D、above
答案
A
解析
句意关系兼词汇辨析题。第一段开宗明义,全球变暖导致粮食减产。第二段第一句话跟第三段的第一句话类似,均举例说明某些国家粮食减产。所以此处要选一个说明减产的词,所以选off,做副词时可表示“变少,变小”。
