The price of wheat is setting an all-time high in the United Kingdom. Food【C1】______are spreading across Algeria. Russia is【C2】______grain to sustain its cattle herds【C3】______spring grazing begins. And the U. N. Food and Agricultural organization announced that its food price index for December【C4】______an all-time high.
But【C5】______in years past it’s been weather that has caused a spike in commodities prices, now it’s trends on both sides of the food supply /demand equation that are【C6】______up prices. On the demand side, those to blame are population growth, rising【C7】______, and the use of grain in car fuel. On the supply side: soil【C8】______, the loss of cropland to non-farm uses, and—on【C9】______of climate change—crop-withering (农作物枯萎) heat waves and【C10】______mountain glaciers and ice sheets. These climate-related trends seem destined to take a far greater【C11】______in the future. The current【C12】______in world grain and soybean (大豆) prices, and in food prices more broadly, is not a【C13】______phenomenon. We can no longer expect that things will soon return to normal, because in a world with a【C14】______changing climate system there is no【C15】______to return to.
The unrest today is no longer【C16】______between heavily armed superpowers, but【C17】______spreading food shortages and rising food prices that【C18】______our global future. Unless governments quickly redefine security and shift【C19】______from military uses to investing in climate change ease, water efficiency, soil【C20】______, and population stabilization, the world will in all likelihood be facing a future with both more climate instability and food price volatility (波动).

选项
A、figures
B、expenses
C、structures
D、consumptions
答案
B
解析
名词辨义题。前面提到,日益普遍的粮食短缺和不断增长的粮食价格已对全球的未来构成威胁,此句进一步指出,“各国政府须当机立断,重新定义安全问题,减少军用支出,加大在缓和气候变化、提高用水效能、保护土壤以及稳定人口增长方面的投入。否则,世界将极有可能面临一个气候和粮食价格都变幻莫测的未来”。expense“损失,消费,开支”符合题意。figure“数字,价格”;structure“结构,构造”;consumption“消费”,均不符合文意,故排除。
