But the biggest factor is the【C6】________of industrial farming. Heavy tilling, multiple harvests and【C7】________use of agrochemicals have increased yields at the【C8】________of long-term sustainability. In the past 20 years, agricultural production has increased threefold and the amount of irrigated land has doubled, notes a paper in the Outlook by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European commission. Over time, however, this【C9】________fertility and can lead to abandonment of land and【C10】________desertification.

H
解析
空格前是be动词,分析句子结构可知,空格处可以填入形容词作is的表语,也可以填入动词的分词形式与is一起构成句子的谓语。上文提到,健康、多产的土地供应枯竭,而人口在不断增长,这就势必会导致各国乃至全球对土地的竞争日趋激烈,因此H)intensifying“(使)增强,(使)加剧”为本题答案。
