问题    The word conservation has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and
protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition as others    【M1】______
may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population
would increase faster than the supplies of crude materials. Most of them, even  【M2】______
until very recently, have the foolish idea that the treasures were "limitless"
and "inexhaustible". Most of the citizens of early generations knew little or 【M3】______
nothing about the complicated and the delicate system that runs all through the
nature, which means that, as in a life body, an unhealthy condition of one part 【M4】______
will sooner or later be harmful to all others.                               【M5】______
Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work. Scientific       【M6】______
forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap at that time because it could be
brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods
were not national problems; nobody had already studied long-term climate cycles 【M7】______
in relation with proper land use; even the word conservation had nothing of the 【M8】______
meaning that it has for us today.
For the sake of ourselves and those who come after us, we must now set about 【M9】______
repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, however, be made【M10】______
a part of everyone’s daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is
just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. [br] 【M4】

选项

答案 life→living

解析易混词误用。尽管两词都有“生活”的含义，但是life着重“生命”，而且作“生活”解时，一般不作前置定语修饰别的名词；而 living却常用作前置定语修饰别的名词，例如：living conditions(生活条件)，living expenses(生活开支)。
