阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Rachel Carson was a scientist by profession, but she published her book Silent Spring in 1962. By imagining 【小题1】 world without birds, she aimed to alert people to the damaging effects of human activity on natural ecosystems-【小题2】 particular, to the harmful use of pesticides, such as DDT. Carson urged people 【小题3】(make)themselves aware of the facts and do something about the situation. Carson's message was very alarming, 【小题4】(cause)a great increase in environmental 【小题5】(aware). Its impact was immediate and far-reaching. Therefore, Silent Spring 【小题6】(regard)as a milestone in the launch of the green movement in the Western world.
Silent Spring was not, however, received 【小题7】(positive)by everyone. The book quickly became a target for critics in the pesticide industry. But Garson remained 【小题8】(determine)to stand by her research.
Personally, I enjoy Carson's book. Half a century later it remains a book 【小题9】 deserves to be reread today, so that we can once again feel ourselves warm to the fire of its 【小题10】(passion)message.
