Air pollution makes people sick—it causes breathing problems and【S3】______cancer—and it harms plants, animals, and the ecosystems (生态系统) in which they live. Some air pollutants return to earth in the form of acid rain and snow, which destroy【S4】______and buildings, damage crops and forests, and make lakes and streams【S5】______for fish and other plant and animal life.
    Pollution is changing Earth’s atmosphere so that it lets in more harmful radiation from the Sun.

选项
答案 F
解析 情态动词和实意动词之间最可能出现的词就是副词，做句子中的状语。dramatically(显著地，激烈地)和moderately(适度地)两个副词都是限定程度的；而由于后文出现了severe和sharply两个表示程度很重的词，所以本题选择dramatically。这句话的意思是“尽管未来气候变化所造成的影响还不得而知，但一些人说反常的天气状况会对农业造成极大的影响，比如，会导致非洲部分地区的极度干旱和农作物产量的骤减”。
