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.
【C7】
选项 A、corresponding
B、far-reaching
C、tremendous
D、large
答案B
解析 本句意为“每年进入我们海洋的800万吨塑料污染物所产生的“影响”。由下文关键词Not just…also可知，每年进入我们海洋的800万吨塑料污染物不仅影响了生态系统，而且也影响着人类的食物安全，由此可见其范围之广，因此B项“深远的；广泛的；伸至远处的”为正确答案。A项“对应的”、C项“巨大的”和D项“大的”均不符合题意，因此排除。故本题选B。
