A third of the planet’s land is severely degraded and fertile soil is being lost at the rate of 24bn tonnes a year, according to a new United Nations-backed study that calls for a shift away from destructively intensive agriculture. The alarming【C1】______, which is forecast to continue as demand for food and productive land increases, will add to the risks of conflicts unless【C2】______actions are implemented, warns the institution behind the report.
"As the ready supply of healthy and productive land dries up and the population grows, competition is【C3】______for land within countries and globally," said executive secretary of the UN Convention to CombatDesertification (UNCCD) at the launch of the Global Land Outlook. " To【C4】______the losses, the outlooksuggests it is in all our interests to step back and rethink how we are managing the pressures and thecompetition. "
The Global Land Outlook is【C5】______as the most comprehensive study of its type, mapping the interlinked impacts of urbanization, climate change, erosion and forest loss. 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.
A) absorb I) limited
B) abundant J) minimize
C) billed K) occasionally
D) decline L) optimizes
E) diminishes M) rate

H) intensifying [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
N
解析
空格处于unless引导的条件状语从句中,空格后是名词actions,因此应填入一个形容词修饰从句的主语actions。上文提到,随着对食物和多产土地需求的增加,这一令人担忧的土地数量的减少将会增加冲突。根据语境可推测,为避免这种风险,就应采取相应的补救措施,因此N)remedial“补救的,纠正的”为本题答案。
