问题     As tempting as it can be to let it all hang loose and stop worrying while on vacation, you do want to be aware of your ecological impact. Without a little planning, you may【C1】______ specific environmental and social issues in a given location. You are also inherently reliant on transportation that may be better or worse【C2】______ greenhouse-gas emissions. The synonym for the eco-savvy traveler is【C3】______.
    First of all, you should choose ecologically【C4】______modes of transportation. This means lessening or eliminating your dependence on travel【C5】______that result in heavy carbon footprints. Airplanes and cars【C6】______ significant amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Walk or bicycle as much as possible—a good method of【C7】______yourself in your destination. Electric trains and buses are also examples of more efficient and cleaner【C8】______of mechanized travel.
    Secondly, investigate the agencies you may choose for your trip to find out their practices and reputations. Ask the company【C9】______ what they do for the local community and【C10】______ they run their operations. Some may contribute little economically to the area or they may【C11】______ engage in ecologically damaging practices,【C12】______ fuel-costly tours or excessive harassment of wildlife in the name of sightseeing.
    Thirdly, buy locally.

    Finally, tread lightly on the landscape. When visiting a wild area, don’t drive or bicycle off designated routes. If camping,【C18】______up all garbage or dispose of it in designated receptacles.【C19】______ if dispersed camping is permitted , use preexisting camps【C20】______ possible to lessen erosion.
【C14】
选项 A、Production
B、Import
C、Consumption
D、Transit
答案B
解析 名词辨析题。句意为：从本地区以外的地方进口食品和其他商品在交通和环境处理方面需要大量的能源。前文提到提倡在本地购买商品，并指出这样做有重大的生态和经济意义，再从本句中的alot of energy可知此处是在批评不环保的做法，显然是在讲不购买本地商品的情况，故选择import“进口”。production“生产”、consumption“消费”、transit“运送”均不能与购买本地商品形成对比，所以排除。
