Skip that third helping of roast beef, save the planet and do your heart a favor at the same time.
That’s the advice of Alan Dangour of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and colleagues who【S1】______the livestock industry’s potential to help the UK reduce its carbon emissions to half of 1990 levels by 2030, and the knock-on effect on the nation’s health.
They found that the industry could reduce its emissions, but only if the livestock the UK produces, and the meat the nation【S2】______, drops by 30 per cent. Farms must also optimize(最优化)their energy【S3】______by, for example, capturing carbon in animal waste.
The health pay-off would be【S4】______: 18,000 fewer people would die prematurely in the UK each year from heart attceks--a(n)【S5】______of 17 per cent--as they would eat less of the fats found in meat.
The effect would not be limited to rich nations. The team found that Brazil could【S6】______the same health benefits. "We’re not saying go vegetarian, we’re saying reduce how much livestock produce you consume," says Dangour. The savings could be【S7】______higher if reduced death rates from cancer and obesity had been included,he adds.
Agronomist(农艺学家)Kenneth Cassman of the University of Nebraska warns that cutting production in one region can【S8】______it elsewhere, causing a rise in global emissions. "Reducing production of livestock products in a developed country like the UK does little to influence global【S9】______in production and consumption where most of the increase in demand between now and 2050 will come from【S10】______countries," he says.
A)developing B)even C)trends D)explored E)developed
F)just G)considerable H)consumes I)boast J)achieve
K)considerate L)offers M)reduction N)boost O)efficiency [br] 【S2】
选项
答案
H
解析
此处应为动词。与之并列的produces一词表明家畜的生产,由此可知此处应该表示肉类的“消费”,且下文的produce you consume和production and consumption很好地提示了此处应选consumes,与produces并列。
