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【C1】______ 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【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.
Some countries saw small gains from the temperature increases, however. And in all countries, the【C8】______ carbon dioxide that humans are【C9】______ into the air acted as a【C10】______ that encouraged plant growth,【C11】______ some of the losses from rising temperatures caused by that same greenhouse gas.
【C12】______, the study’s authors found that when the gains in some countries were weighed【C13】______ the losses in other countries, the overall global【C14】______ of climate change has been small so far: losses of a few percentage points for wheat and corn from what they would have been【C15】______ climate change. The general impact on production of rice and soybeans was【C16】______, with gains in some regions entirely counterbalancing losses in others.

选项
A、arguable
B、noticeable
C、negligible
D、significant
答案
C
解析
句意关系题。根据空格后的提示,可知一些地区稻米和大豆的收成和其他地区的损失相互抵消。因此这种影响是很小的,选negligible“不重要的;很小的;不值得考虑的”。根据下文提示,可以首先排除noticeable“明显的”和significant“重大的”。既然下文已经明确指出收成和损失互相抵消,所以这种影响就是可以确定的。因此排除arguable“可争论的”。
