参考答案【正确答案：6】
根据信号词Anti-hunger campaigns are successful可回文定位到第3段: The first is to scale-up the dramatic success of Malawi, a famine-prone country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and high-yield seeds:首先要推广马拉维的成功举措——马拉维是非洲南部的一个经常闹饥荒的国家，三年前，该国设立了一项特别基金来资助农民购买肥料和高产种子。
请注意题干信息与原文的语义对应：题干的Anti-hunger campaigns (反饥饿运动）对应原文的 a famine-prone country (—个经常闹饥荒的国家）和 established a special fund to...（设立了一项特别基金来）；题干的successful对应原文的the dramatic success (巨大成功）。比对选项，可发现F项恰与上述定位信息语义一致，故选F。
