Passage 2
When you think about the growth of human population over the last century or so, it is all too easy to imagine it merely as an increase in the number of humans. But as we _1_, so do all the things associated with us, including our livestock. At present, there are about 1.5 billion _2_ and domestic buffalo and about 1.7 billion sheep and goats. With pigs and poultry, they form. a _3_ part of our enormous biological footprint upon this planet. Just how enormous was not really _4_ until the publication of a new report, called “Livestock’s Long Shadow,” by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Consider these numbers. Global livestock grazing and feed production use “30 percent of the land surface of the planet.” Livestock—which consume more food than they _5_—also compete directly with humans for water. And the drive to expand grazing land destroys more biologically sensitive land, rain forests _6_, than anything else. But what is even more striking, and _7_, is that livestock are responsible for about 18 percent of the global warming effect, more than transportation’s _8_. Greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrogen，are resulted from their digestion. Grazing land, which destroys forests, adds to the effect. There are no easy trade-offs when it comes to global warming—such as cutting back on livestock to make room for care. The human _9_ for meat is certainly not about to end anytime soon. As “Livestock’s Long Shadow” makes clear, our health and the health of the planet depend on pushing livestock production in more _10_ directions.
A)yield
B)contribution
C)stain
D)ideally
E)apparent
F)multiply
G)cattle
H)passion
I)scrape
J)critical
K)liable
L)sustainable
M)deposit

第1空答案是：
Questionsare based on the following passage.
When you think about the growth of human population over the last century or so， it is alltoo easy to imagine it merely as an increase in the number of humans. But as we（36）， so doall the things associated with us，（37）our livestock （家畜）. At present， there are about 1.5 bil-lion cattle and domestic buffalo and about 1.7 billion sheep and goats. With pigs and poultry，they form. a（38）part of our enormous biological footprint upon this planet.
Just how enormous was not really apparent until the（39）of a new report， called "Live-stock"s Long Shadow，" by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.
Consider these numbers. Global livestock grazing （放牧） and feed production use "30percent of the land surface of the planet." Livestock —— which consume more food thanthey（40）—— also compete directly with humans for water. And the drive to expand grazingland destroys more biologically sensitive terrain， rain forests（41）， than anything else.
But what is even more striking， and alarming， is that livestock are（42）for about 18 per-cent of the global warming effect， more than transportation"s（43）. The culprits （罪魁祸首）are methane —— the natural result of bovine digestion —— and the nitrogen emitted by manure.
Deforestation of grazing land adds to the effect.
There are no easy trade-offs when it comes to global warming —— such as cutting back oncattle to make room for cars. The human（44）for meat is certainly not about to end anytimesoon. As "Livestock"s Long Shadow" makes clear， our health and the health of the planet de-pend on pushing livestock production in more（45）directions.
A．publication
B．waste
C．contribution
D．certainly
E. yield
F. multiply
G. critical
H. passion
I . concerning
J . available
K. liable
L. sustainable
K. responsible
N. including
O.especially

【M1】
The reality is that writing is typically a lonely, private and low-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿人), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who was fond of me and so supplied my room in a New York apartment building. It was cold and had no bathroom; I bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so of this existence, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough for a weeks' groceries, I felt I was destined to be one of those people who die wondering, "What if？" I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the "shadow land" of hope; anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
The passage is meant to ______.
A．warn young people of the trials what a successful writer experiences early in his/her career
B．advise young people to give up their dreams of becoming a professional writer
C．show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D．encourage young people to pursue a writing career
