Passage 6

Cutting meat production and consumption by 30 percent would help to reduce carbon emissions(排放) and improve health in the most meat-loving nations, scientists said on Wednesday.

Using prediction models, British and Australian researchers 1 that improving efficiency, increasing carbon capture and 2 fossil fuel dependence in farming would not be enough to 3 emissions targets.

But combining these steps 4 a 30 percent reduction in livestock（家畜） 5 in major meat-producing nations and a similar 6 in meat-eating, would lead to \population health benefits\

The study found that in Britain, a 30 percent 7 intake of animal-source saturated（饱和的） fat by adults would reduce the 8 of premature（过早的） deaths from heart disease by some 17 percent -- equivalent to 18,000 premature deaths reduced in one year.

In Sao Paulo, Brazil, it could mean as 9 as 1,000 premature deaths reduced in a year, they said.

10 the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, 18 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions are from meat production and experts say rising 11 for meat, particularly in countries with growing economies, could 12 livestock production up by 85 percent from 2000 levels 13 2030.

The scientists said global action was needed to maximize the benefits of cutting meat production and 14 , and that the environmental 15 \currently have high production levels.\

The study was 16 in The Lancet medical journal as part of a series in climate change and health 17 the Copenhagen global climate summit scheduled next month.

In a second study, British scientists found that increased walking and cycling, and 18 cars, would have a much greater impact on health 19 low-emission vehicles in rich and middle-income countries.

答案及解析

本文说明了减少肉类食物的消耗量不仅可以更健康的生活，还有助于节能减排。做本完形填空要求学生注重把生活常识和本文作者的行文逻辑紧密的结合起来。 1. C英国和澳大利亚的研究人员通过使用预测模型进行研究后发现，仅靠提高能源使用率、增加碳收集以及降低农业对矿物燃料的依赖还不足以实现减排目标。由此我们得知此空要填上表示“发现”之意的动词，也就是：found（find的过去式），而ABD项所表达的意思：发明，实验，证明，都不符合此处的语言逻辑。最具有迷惑性的是proved（证明），因为是利用预测模型进行研究后得出的结论，所以最合适的就应该是强调结果的“发现”。 2. D由上一题的分析我们不难看出此处表示降低农业对矿物燃料的依赖之意，表示降低之意单词只有D项：reducing，其余三项分别表示：增加，加速，停止，其中最具迷惑性的是C项：stopping(停止)，根据日常生活常识我们知道农业生产不可能停止使用各种矿物质燃料。

3. A由第一题的分析我们可以断定此处要填上表示“达到，实现”之意的动词，BCD三项分别表示：改变，打破，调整，只有A项：meet（满足）可以表达这样的意思。

4. B但研究人员称，如果在此基础上将肉类主要生产国的家畜产量和肉类消费分别降低30%，则可“极大增进人们的健康”，同时减少碳排放，我们得知此空得填上和combine：把……和……结合起来，这四个介词当中表示和之意的只有with，ACD项的意思与combine都和语境不搭配，这是因为by表示由……；to表示对于……；in表示在……里面。

5. C由上一题的分析和日常生活常识，我们得知肉是由养殖的家畜屠宰之后，才为人们所消费。故此空填上表示家畜“生产”的名词，也就是production，其余的ABD三项分别表示：销售，食用，应用，语意方面都不符合此处的语言逻辑。

6. A由第四题的分析我们不难判断，这儿填上表示“削减”的名词也就是cut，BCD三项所表达的意思分别是：增加，累加，消费。无论述意思还是逻辑上都与这儿的语境逻辑不相搭配。

7. A研究发现，在英国，如果成年人摄入的动物饱和脂肪量减少30%，那么因心脏病而早逝的病例数可减少17%，相当于一年避免1.8万例早死病例。这四个选项中表示较低的是A项：lower。BCD三项分别依次表示：较高，较多，较大，于此处的语境逻辑上不相适宜。

8. B 经过上一题的分析，我们得知此处表示因心脏病而早逝的“病例数”，即是number，而ACD三项往往用来修饰不可数名词，并且它们都表示量，不表示数。

9. B研究人员称，在巴西圣保罗市，这意味着每年可避免多达一千个早死病例。这四个选项中只有as many as 表示多达之意，并且用来修饰可数名词death。ACD三项中A项用来修饰不可数名词，CD两项在意思表示少的意思，不符合这儿的作者所表达的语意。

10.A联合国粮农组织的数据显示，18%的温室气体排放来自于肉类生产。我们判断这儿的
