问题     The European Union had approved a number of
genetically modified crops until late 1998. But grow public             【S1】______
concern over their supposed environmental and health risks led
several EU country to demand a moratorium (暂时禁止)                    【S2】______
on imports of any new GM produce (转基因农产品).
For late 1999 there were enough such countries to block any             【S3】______
new approvals of GM produce. Last year, America filed a complaint
at the WTO about the moratorium, without arguing that                   【S4】______
it was an illegal trade barrier because there is no scientific
base for it. As more studies have been completed on the                 【S5】______
effects of GM crops, the greens’ case for them has weakened.            【S6】______
Much evidence has emerged of health risks from eating them.             【S7】______
And, overall, the studies have shown that the environmental
effects on modified crops are not always as serious as the              【S8】______
greens claim. Nevertheless, environmentalists continue to find
fault of such studies and argue that they are inconclusive.             【S9】______
    While Americans seem happy enough to consume food
made from GM crops, opinion polls continue to show that
European consumers dislike the idea. Europeans seem be taking           【S10】______
the attitude which , since there remains the slightest
possibility of adverse consequences and since it is clear
how they, as consumers, benefit from GM crops, they
would rather not run the risk.
【S6】
选项
答案for→against
解析 篇章理解错误。本句意思是：“随着更多关于转基因产品影响研究的完成，环保主义者们反对转基因产品的论点削弱了。”the greens=the environmentalists“环保主义者”；case“论点，论据”，case for后面的them指GM crops，短语case for sth．意为“支持某物的论点”，case against sth．“反对某物的论点”。
