In some parts of the world,for example,food is plentiful in summer but becomes ( ) during the cold winter months.


A、

scarce


B、

frozen


C、

poisonous


D、

tasteless


【正确答案】:A
【题目解析】:

由句中“but”可知句子前后是转折关系,前半句说的是食物充足,那么后半句应为食物短缺或不足。 scarce意为“缺乏的,不足的”,合题意,故选A。

句意:例如,在世界上的一些地区,夏天食物充足,但在寒冷的冬季,食物却变得很缺乏。
