问题     The European Union had approved a number of genetically
modified crops until late 1998. But growing public concern
over their supposed environmental and health risks led several
EU countries to demand a moratorium (暂时禁止) on imports
of any new GM product. By late 1999 there were enough such (1)______
countries to block any new approval of GM produce.
    Last year, America filed a complaint at the WTO about the
moratorium, argued that it was an illegal trade barrier (2)______
because there is no scientific basis for it. As more studies
have been completed on the effects of GM crops, the greens’
case against them has weakened. Much evidence has emerged (3)______
of health risks from eating it. And, overall, the studies have (4)______
shown that the environment effects of modified crops are not (5)______
always as serious as the greens claim. Nevertheless, environmentalists
continue to find fault of such studies and argue that they are inconclusive. (6)______
    While Americans seem happy enough to consume food made
from GM crops, but opinion polls continue to show that European (7)______
consumers dislike the idea. The Europeans seem to be taking the attitude (8)______
which, since there remain the slightest possibility of adverse (9)______
consequences and since it is clear how they, as consumers, benefit (10)______
from GM crops, they would rather not run the risk. [br] (10)
