45、发生在一个农民需要每一克食物来养活自己和家人的地区。原本这些地方就是依赖土地种植庄稼来养活自己和家人，现在蝗灾爆发，只会是情况更加恶化。故选d项。【9题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段this is linked to climate change. warmer seas mean more tropical storms, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.可知，这与气候变化有关。温暖的海洋意味着更多的热带风暴，为蝗虫创造了完美的繁殖条件。温暖的海洋指的是全球变暖的影响，它助推了蝗虫的爆发。由此我们可以判断，全球变暖对

46、蝗灾的爆发起到了助推作用。故选d项。【10题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段we must act now to avoid a full-blown catastrophe.可知，我们现在必须行动起来，避免一场全面的灾难。这是一种呼吁和号召。结合全篇，主要介绍了东非蝗灾的爆发。两者相结合可知这篇文章的目的是为了通知和呼吁大家采取行动。故选b项。【11题详解】推理判断题。本篇文章主要内容为非洲东部爆发的蝗虫危机，事态严重，作者呼吁大家采取行动。所以可知文章来自新闻报道，而非a.旅行指南，或b.健康杂志，也不是d.一篇化学论文。故选c项。scientists say they have develo
