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.

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.

选项
答案
C
解析
空格前是is,因此空格处应填入动词的分词形式与is一起构成句子谓语,或填入形容词作is的表语。此外,无论填入形容词还是动词,都应该能与as搭配使用。空格后提到,该报告描绘了城市化、气候变化、水土流失和森林损失之间的相互关联,因此该报告被认为是对土地情况最全面的研究。“bill…as…”是固定搭配,意为“把……宣传为……”,故C)billed为答案。
