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 (1)______ 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 (2)______ in India, France and China compared with(3)______ they probably would have been without rising(4)______, according to the study.
Corn yields were(5)______ a few percentage points in China, Brazil and France from what would have been (6)______, said the researchers, whose findings were published in Friday’s (7)______ of the journal Science.
Some countries saw small gains from the temperature increases, however.

(12)______, the study’s authors found that when the gains in some countries were weighed(13)______ the losses in other countries, the overall global(14)______ of climate change has been small so far: losses of a few percentage points for wheat and corn from what they would have been (15)______ climate change. The general impact on production of rice and soybeans was(16)______, with gains in some regions entirely counterbalancing losses in others.

选项
A、Consequently
B、Interestingly
C、Surprisingly
D、Unexpectedly
答案
A
解析
句意关系题。根据前文,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,所以此处应该是引出一个结论。故选Consequently“因此,所以”。Interestingly表示引出一个有趣的新话题,但后文关于二氧化碳造成的收获和损失互相抵消一事,在上一段已经提到,所以可排除。Surprisingly“令人惊讶地”和Unexpectedly“出乎意料地”,均与句意不合。
