问题     There was a time when red meat was a luxury for ordinary Americans, or was at least something special: cooking a roast for Sunday dinner, ordering a steak at a restaurant. Not anymore. Meat consumption has more than【S1】______in the United States in the last 50 years.
    Now a new study of more than 500,000 Americans has provided the best【S2】______that our love for red meat has exacted a high price on our health and limited our life span. The study found that, other things being【S3】______. the men and women who consumed the most red and processed meat were likely to die sooner,【S4】______from one of our two leading killers, heart disease and cancer, than people who consumed much【S5】______amounts of these foods.
    To prevent deaths【S6】______to red and processed meats, people should eat a hamburger only once or twice a week instead of every day, a small steak once a week instead of every other day, and a hot dog every month and a half instead of once a week. In【S7】______of red meat, non-vegetarians (非素食者) might consider poultry and fish. Likewise, those who ate the most fruits and vegetables also tended to live【S8】______.
    Anyone who worries about global well-being has yet another reason to consume less red meat. A reduced【S9】______on red meat for food could help to save the planet from the【S10】______effects of environmental pollution, global warming and the lessening of fresh water.
[A] remarkably  [F] related       [K] place
[B] equal       [G] contributing  [L] doubled
[C] evidence    [H] reduced       [M] relief
[D] smaller     [I] dependence    [N] initial
[E] especially  [J] longer        [O] damaging
【S8】
选项
答案J
解析 空前的动词live和空所在句结构完整表明，本空应填一副词，[A]remarkably、[J]longer入选。结合上文提到的红色肉消费量最大者的死亡时间比消费量较小的更早，反向可推断出，吃水果和蔬菜最多的人吃肉更少，活得更长，故答案[J]longer。[A]remarkably一般不用于修饰live“活着”，故排除。
