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
【S3】
选项
答案
B
解析
空前的being表明,本空所填词作being的表语。由空后提到的die sooner…than…可知,本句是在作比较,比较的双方应该是在其他条件相同的情况下才具有可比性。other things being equal为固定短语,意为“假若其他情况相同”,故答案为[B]equal“相同的,同样的”。
