I was in northern Kenya, which is suffering through the worst
drought to hit the Horn of Africa in 60 years. The toll of
deprivation is everywhere. In the village of Kursin, emaciated
livestock is collapsing in the middle of town; the local headmaster,【M1】______
Ismael Ali, told me they’ve "had a problem with dead carcasses
around the school." Attendance has dropped sharply at the【M2】______
beginning of the year, as many families left with the parched【M3】______
region with their flocks, some even crossed into war-torn Somalia【M4】______
in search of food.
The drought has been mounting for a year, but it wasn’t until
the crisis peaked over the summer that the news media and most
international donors took notice. It’s a familiar cycle: first comes【M5】______
the news media pictures of emaciated infants, followed by
conferences on how to do better next time, visitors from top-level【M6】______
government officials and large financial commitments from
international organizations and even donors like China and the
Ikea Foundation. The United States Agency for International
Development and the Ad Council have even begun a celebrity
public service campaign with the actors Uma Thurman and Josh
Hartnett.
This is good news; the assistance is badly needed. Yet the
mismatch in timing rises a question that bedevils aid agencies.【M7】______
Like earthquakes or hurricanes, droughts and food price increases【M8】______
take time to develop, and the resulting hunger crises are forecast
well in advance. From water harvest to livestock support to cash【M9】______
assistance, there are a plenty of steps that have moderated the【M10】______
current crisis. Why weren’t they taken? [br] 【M1】
选项
答案
is—are
解析
语法错误。livestock(牲畜,家畜)是一个集合名词,形式上是单数,但却表示复数意义,所以此处谓语动词应该用复数。
