But as we【C1】______ so do all the things associated with us, including our livestock. At present, there are about 1.5 billion【C2】______ and domestic buffalo and about 1.7 billion sheep and goats.

And the drive to expand grazing land destroys more biologically sensitive land, rain forests【C6】______ than anything else.
But what is even more striking, and【C7】______ is that livestock are responsible for about 18 percent of the global warming effect, more than transportation’s【C8】______ Greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrogen, are resulted from their digestion. Grazing land, which destroys forests, adds to the effect.
There are no easy trade-offs when it comes to global warming—such as cutting back on livestock to make room for cars. The human【C9】______ for meat is certainly not about to end anytime soon. As "Livestock’s Long Shadow" makes clear, our health and the health of the planet depend on pushing livestock production in more【C10】______ directions.
A) yield B) contribution C) stain D) ideally
E) apparent F) multiply G) cattle H) passion
I) scrape J) critical K) liable L) sustainable
M) deposit N) alarming O) especially [br] 【C4】

答案
E
解析
空格前的really提示此处应填入形容词或分词。根据后面的“直到新报告发布”可知,在报告发布前,牲畜的数量庞大到何种程度还是未知的,因此选apparent。
