Standards for commercial egg production vary greatly around the country. In most states, the egg-laying hens are【S1】______together tightly in "battery cages". Each wire cage is about the size of a microwave oven, though【S2】______taller, and crammed with anywhere from 4 to 11 hens. But some states—including California, Ohio, and Michigan—have banned the use or new construction of battery cages. California’s Proposition 2, passed in 2008, requires that【S3】______laying hens be kept in spaces with enough room to stretch their wings.
It’s well past time to create a【S4】______standard that promotes more humane (人道的) conditions everywhere. House Republicans and Democrats have introduced a sensible bill that would require labeling on all egg cartons (纸箱) to【S5】______whether the eggs are from caged, cage-free or free-range hens. It would【S6】______in over the next 15 years to 18 years requirements for larger cages (nearly doubling the space each chicken is provided), rod poles, scratching areas and nesting boxes. And farmers would be allowed to depreciate (折旧) fully the equipment they already own before being obliged to buy new equipment.
The bill, revising the Egg Products Inspection Act, enjoys the support of the Humane Society of the United States, which has been a force behind unproved【S7】______in the egg industry, and the United Egg Producers, which represents the farmers who【S8】______nearly 90 percent of the eggs sold in America.
Yet the American Farm Bureau Federation, a trade group for farmers, the National Pork Producers Council, and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association oppose the bill. They seem to fear that common sense and a humane【S9】______for the well-being of farm animals will spread to their own【S10】______.
A) average I) national
B) commercial J) phase
C) concern K) post
D) conditions L) raise
E) crowded M) regard
F) greatly N) slightly
G) industries O) specify
H) magnificent
【S10】
选项
答案
G
解析
该空格位于物主代词their之后,因此推断应填入名词。由上文可知,鸡蛋产业被称为egg industry,而空格所在句提出猪肉和牛肉产业的人对鸡蛋产业中的人道精神有所顾虑,他们担心这种精神会波及他们的产业。由此可推知,此处选择industries“产业”。
