问题     The shorter growing seasons expected with climate change over the next 40 years will endanger hundreds of millions of already poor people in the global tropics, say researchers working【C1】________the world’s leading agricultural organisations.
    The effects of climate change are likely to be seen across the entire tropical【C2】________but many areas previously considered to be【C3】________food secure are likely to become highly【C4】________to droughts, extreme weather and higher temperatures, say the researchers with the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research.
    Intensively farmed areas【C5】________northeast Brazil and Mexico are likely to see their【C6】________growing seasons fall below 120 days, which is critical for crops【C7】________corn to mature. Many other places in Latin America are likely to【C8】________temperatures that are too hot for bean【C9】________, a staple in the region.
    The impact could be【C10】________most in India and southeast Asia. More than 300 million people in south Asia are likely to be affected even with a 5％ decrease in the【C11】________of the growing season.
    Higher peak temperatures are also expected to take a heavy【C12】________on food producers. Today there are 56 million crop-dependent people in parts of west Africa and India who live in areas where, in 40 years, maximum daily temperatures could be【C13】________than 30℃ . This is【C14】________to the maximum temperature that beans can tolerate,【C15】________corn and rice yields suffer when temperatures【C16】________this level.
    "We are starting to see much more clearly【C17】________the effects of climate change on agriculture could【C18】________hunger and poverty," said research leader Parti Kristjanson. "Farmers already【C19】________variable weather by changing their planting schedules. What this study suggests is that the speed of climate【C20】________and the magnitude of the changes required to adapt could be much greater."
【C1】
选项 A、by
B、with
C、out
D、along
答案B
解析 语义逻辑题。空格处填入介词与working搭配，并和空格后的名词短语共同作后置定语修饰researchers，从句意上看，研究人员和世界主要农业组织属于从属关系，with可与动词work搭配，用以引出人物的工作单位，符合题意，选B项。A项by用在动词之后的情况一般出现在被动语态中，用来引出施动者，此空前面是现在分词working，没有表被动的成分，故排除by。work out表示“想出，解出，算出”，代入句中为“研究人员想出/解出世界主要农业组织”，语义不通，排除C项out。D项along作介词时，表“沿着，在……边上”，将之代入此空，语义也不通。
