Wheat yields in recent years were down by more than 10 percent in Russia and by a few percentage points【C2】______ in India, France and China compared with【C3】______ they probably would have been without rising【C4】______, according to the study.
Corn yields were【C5】______ a few percentage points in China, Brazil and France from what would have been【C6】______, said the researchers, whose findings were published in Friday’s【C7】______ of the journal Science.

选项
A、effect
B、phenomenon
C、crisis
D、problem
答案
A
解析
语义线索题。如果把一些国家的收获与另一些国家的损失进行对比,就可以知道迄今为止,气候变化的全球性影响总体上较小。所以选A项,effect“影响”。phenomenon“现象”,crisis“危机”,problem“问题”均不符合句意。
