问题    Our marine life now is being 【C1】______ by a gathering minefield of plastic in our oceans, and the images in the following make for 【C2】______ viewing. A rainbow runner fish with a(n) 【C3】______kaleidoscope of plastic bits in its liver. A mahi mahi fish with plastic bottle caps in its stomach. Or the mussels and clams, the filters of the sea, that harbour hidden microplastics, 【C4】______ to our naked eye.
   Our first reaction to the above scene is often disgust.【C5】______this reflex quickly【C6】______to a more sobering thought: the【C7】______impact of the eight million metric tons of plastic pollution that enter our ocean every year. Not just【C8】______of our mounting ecological misdeeds, this【C9】______also directly【C10】______to poison us where we are truly vulnerable: our plates.
   The【C11】______of such a future impact how we shop for food. Last year, a European shopper survey【C12】______by the research firm McKinsey & Company,【C13】______a long-known trend: quality food continues to be more important than price. In other words, shoppers【C14】______care about consuming safe food, and willingly【C15】______it with their wallets.
   That is all about to【C16】______. New technology is now【C17】______this information gap and【C18】______the power of knowledge to consumers. By cataloging the long trail of supply chain data on encrypted ledgers, the【C19】______world of the global food network will be exposed. Shoppers will soon be able to follow the "story of the fish"—a report card【C20】______the product’s original photo, place of catch, initial weight, species type, vessel and crew details, RFID tag number, catch water details and more.
【C17】
选项 A、bridging
B、enlarging
C、repairing
D、keeping
答案A
解析 本句意为“新技术正在______这一信息鸿沟”。纵观全文可知，消费者更加关注食品的安全问题，因此他们需要了解更多的“鱼的来龙去脉”的信息，即之前消费者对“鱼的来龙去脉”是不知情的，因此A项“弥合”为正确答案。B项“扩大”和D项“保持”与文意相反，因此排除。C项“修理”不能和“信息鸿沟”搭配，排除。故本题选A。
