问题     The promise of finding long-term technological solutions to the problem of world food shortages seems difficult to【S1】______. Many innovations (改革, 创新) that were once heavily supported have since fallen by the wayside. The proposals themselves were technically【S2】______. but they proved to be economically unavailable and culturally unacceptable to their consumers.
    One characteristic【S3】______to unsuccessful food innovations has been that, even with extensive support, they often have not been technologically adapted or culturally acceptable to the people for whom they had been developed. A successful new technology, therefore, must【S4】______the entire social-cultural system in which it is to find a place.

[A] fully [F] considerations [K] common
[B] stressing [G] lead [L] largely
[C] attempt [H] average [M] visible
[D] claiming [I] fit [N] fulfill
[E] adapting [J] feasible [O] effects [br] 【S4】
选项
答案 I
解析 空前的must表明，本空应填原形动词，[C]attempt，[G]lead，[H]average和[I]fit入选。结合语境，前一句话说，没有在技术上适合或者在文化上被它们所要服务的人们接受，这是不成功的粮食创新技术的一个共同特点，由此可推断出，成功的新技术就一定要适合于它所服务的那个地方的社会、文化的各个方面，故答案为[I]fit“使符合，使适合”。
