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
【S6】
选项
答案F
解析 分析句子可知，本空所填词为deaths的后置定语，故本空应填一形容词，且该词应能与空后的to搭配使用，[F]related、[G]contributing、[H]reduced、[O]damaging入选。由上句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可知，死亡与红色肉有关，本句显然是在说预防这种与红色肉有关的死亡，故答案为[F]related“有关联的”。contribute to意为“促成……”，放在此处颠倒了红色肉与死亡的因果关系，故排除强干扰项[G]contributing“促成”。
