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
【S2】
选项
答案
N
解析
空格位于形容词比较级taller之前,据此判断应填入副词对形容词进行修饰。根据句意,尽管鸡笼比微波炉高,似它的大小和微波炉差不多,由此可知,如果鸡笼高出微波炉很多的话,则不可能说两者大小差不多,因此应选择slightly“略微”。greatly意为“极大地”,与文意相反,故排除。
