The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when【S1】______food first appeared with the label :"store in the refrigerator."
In my fridgeless fifties childhood, I was【S2】______well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher(肉商),the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and【S3】______bread mid milk became ’all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by【S4】______food. Thirty years on food deliveries have【S5】______,fresh vegetables are almost【S6】______in the country.

Consequently, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are【S9】______almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away conti nuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially- cooled space inside an artificially-heated house--while outside ,nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.
The fridge’s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been【S10】______. If you don’t believe me try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers, but at least you’ll get rid of that terrible hum.
A)container B)fed C)maintain
D)rotten E)reduce F)unobtainable
G)discontinued H).promote I)shortage
J)insignificant K)packaged L)contributed
M)surplus N)climatically O)ceased [br] 【S10】
选项
答案
J
解析
根据上下文的意思,本句说明冰箱对环境的危害显而易见,与之意思相反的词是insignificant,即“无关紧要的,可忽略的,无意义的”。表示冰箱对人类幸福的贡献是微不足道的。
