that worldwide famine was just around the next comer. The fast-growing
population’s demand for food, they warned, would soon exceed their 【M2】 ______

Optimists point to concrete examples of continued improvements in yield.
In Africa, by instance, improved seeds, more fertilizers and advanced 【M7】 ______
growing practices have more than double com and wheat yields in an 【M8】 ______
experiment. Elsewhere, rice experts in the Philippines are producing

选项
答案
将good改为poor或bad。
解析
根据句子结构,我们可以肯定这里要表达的是“偶尔有些年份收成不好”,因此要用poor或bad,例如: The poor harvest made wheat scarce.歉收使小麦严重匮乏。It happened that the harvest was bad in 1788.碰巧在1788年收成很差。
