Eat Less Meat, Please!

There are many ways to save the Earth. We can use less water, plant more trees, d【1】 less and bike more. Now, some scientists have put forward one more way to avoid dangerous climate change—eat less meat.

Their new research finds farm animals like caws and pigs p【2】 much more greenhouse gases than we thought. W【3】 action, the influence will become far worse as the world population continues to grow. And, as global income rises, more people will afford and eat meat-rich diets.

One of the researchers is Johan Rockstrom. He is a professor from Germany. “Feeding a world population of ten billion is p【4】, but only if we change how we eat,” the scientist said. “Greening food production creating up our planet—this is what is on the menu today.”

A U.N. report also warns that eating less meat and dairy is important. The current trends, however, are in the o【5】 direction. Rockstrom calculated that on average we needed to eat 75 percent less beef, 90 percent less pork and half the number of eggs. Education, taxes and changes to school and workplace menus can help achieve this goal.

In some countries, people have become more aware of the importance of changing their diets. In the Netherlands, young people have been eating less meat. “We know food choices are very personal. That behavior change can be difficult” said Rockstrom. “But the evidence is how clear. We need to change our d【6】 if we want to save our planet.”

【1】drive

【6】diet

【解析】

本文介紹了要挽救地球，避免惡劣的氣候變化，我們應(yīng)少吃肉。

【1】句意：我們可以少用水，多種樹，少開車，多騎自行車。

此處與bike more相并列，因此表示多騎自行車，應(yīng)是少開車。故此處為drive。

【2】句意：他們的新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，像牛和豬這樣的農(nóng)場動物產(chǎn)生的溫室氣體比我們想象的要多得多。

根據(jù)賓語much more greenhouse gases此處表示動物產(chǎn)生氣體，故此處為produce。

【3】句意：如果不采取行動，隨著世界人口的增加，這個影響將更糟。

根據(jù)the influence will become far worse as the world population continues to grow.可知這種影響變得更糟，因此表示沒有采取行動，后面接名詞action，此處用介詞Without。

【4】句意：養(yǎng)活全球100億人口是可能的，但前提是我們改變飲食方式。

根據(jù)Greening food production creating up our planet綠色食品生產(chǎn)創(chuàng)造了我們的地球，因此養(yǎng)活全球人口是有可能的，作為系動詞is的表語，用形容詞possible。

【5】句意：然而，當前的趨勢卻與此相反。

根據(jù)前文的A U.N. report also warns that eating less meat and dairy is important.可知，聯(lián)合國的一份報告還警告說，少吃肉類和奶制品很重要。根據(jù)however表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此與聯(lián)合國的要求相反，故此處為opposite。

【6】句意：如果我們想要挽救地球，我們需要改變我們的飲食。

根據(jù)Greening food production creating up our planet綠色食品生產(chǎn)創(chuàng)造了我們的地球，要想要挽救地球，應(yīng)吃綠色食品，改變我們的飲食，故此處為diet。

根據(jù)句意，結(jié)合詞性，短語，句型，時態(tài)，語態(tài)和主謂一致，根據(jù)開頭字母提示，填入正確形式的單詞。例如小題3，句意：如果不采取行動，隨著世界人口的增加，這個影響將更糟。

根據(jù)the influence will become far worse as the world population continues to grow.可知這種影響變得更糟，因此表示沒有采取行動，后面接名詞action，此處用介詞Without。
