问题     The word conservation has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and
    protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition as others      【M1】______
    may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population
    would increase faster than the supplies of crude materials. Most of them, even  【M2】______
    until very recently, have the foolish idea that the treasures were "limitless"
    and "inexhaustible". Most of the citizens of early generations knew little or   【M3】______
    nothing about the complicated and the delicate system that runs all through the
    nature, which means that, as in a life body, an unhealthy condition of one part 【M4】______
    will sooner or later be harmful to all others.                                  【M5】______
    Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work. Scientific        【M6】______
    forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap at that time because it could be
    brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods
    were not national problems; nobody had already studied long-term climate cycles 【M7】______
    in relation with proper land use; even the word conservation had nothing of the 【M8】______
    meaning that it has for us today.
    For the sake of ourselves and those who come after us, we must now set about    【M9】______
    repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, however, be made【M10】______
    a part of everyone’s daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is
    just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. [br] 【M4】

选项

答案 life→living

解析 易混词误用。尽管两词都有“生活”的含义,但是life着重“生命”,而且作“生活”解时,一般不作前置定语修饰别的名词;而 living却常用作前置定语修饰别的名词,例如:living conditions(生活条件),living expenses(生活开支)。
