Pollution is a "dirty" word. To pollute means to contaminate—topsoil or something by introducing impurities which make【B1】______unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many forms. We see it, smell it,【B2】______it, drink it, and stumble through it. We literally lived in and breathe pollution, and not surprisingly, it is beginning to【B3】______our health, our happiness, and our civilization.
Once we thought of pollution【B4】______meaning simply the smog—the choking, stinging , dirty air that hovers over cities. But air pollution, while it is【B5】______the most dangerous, is only one type of contamination among several【B6】________attack the most basic life functions.
Through the uncontrolled use of insecticides, man has polluted the land, killing the wildlife. By【B7】______sewage and chemicals into rivers and lakes, we have contaminated our【B8】______water. We are polluting the oceans, too, killing the fish and【B9】______depriving ourselves of an invaluable food supply.
Part of the problem is our exploding【B10】______. More and more people are producing more wastes. But this problem is intensified by our "throw-away" technology. Each year Americans【B11】______of 7 million autos, 20 million tons of waste paper, 25 million pounds of toothpaste tubes and 48 million cans. We throw away gum wrappers, newspapers, and paper plates.

Instead of repairing a toaster or a radio, it is easier and cheaper to buy another one and discard the old, even【B13】______95 percent of its parts may still be functioning. Baby diapers, which used to be made of reusable cloth, are now paper throw-aways. Soon we will wear clothing made of 【B14】______:"Wear it once and throw it away" will be the slogan of the fashionable-consciousness.
Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a gigantic dump, or is there hope that we can solve the pollution problem?【B15】______, solutions are in sight. A few of them are positively ingenious.
【B9】

答案
thereby
解析
本句句意为“我们也正在污染海洋,杀死了鱼类,…剥夺了我们那无价的食物供应。”显然,此空前后为因果关系,而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果关系的连词,而只能用介词thereby。
