问题     Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and
North America. It is an extremely serious problem in some developing countries.
For these countries, economical growth is a very important goal. They               【S1】______
want to attract new industries, and so they put more controls on industries         【S2】______
which cause pollution.
    Cubatao, an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil, is an example of
the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao
had no industry. Today it has more than twenty large factories, which
produce many pollutants. The largest factory which exists in the south part of      【S3】______
the town has caused at least two terrible polluting disasters. The people of the
town are exposed by the poisonous matters in their surroundings, and the bad        【S4】______
effects can be clearly seen. Birth shortcomings are extremely common. Among
children and grown-ups, lung problems are sometimes twelve times common in          【S5】______
Cubatao than in other places.
    It is true that Brazil, like many other countries, has laws against pollution,
but these laws are not carried out strict enough. For companies, it is              【S6】______
cheaper of take no notice of the laws and pay the fines than to buy the expensive   【S7】______
equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic
growth is more important to the government than to the health of the
workers.
    However, the responsibility does not completely lay with the Brazilian          【S8】 ______
government. The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are
not acting in a responsible way neither. A number of factories in the town are      【S9】______
owned by large companies from France, Italy, and the U. S. They are doing
things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home. If they caused the
same amount of pollution at home, they would be severely punishing or even          【S10】______
put out of business. [br] 【S3】
选项
答案 which→that
解析 连接词错误。先行词被形容词最高级修饰时，关系代词通常只用that，不用which。
