【4】. As the world’s population grows, more forests will become farmland or grasslands.【5】. Because of the change in diet, in the future the greenhouse gases from these areas will be more than all that which right now comes out of all kinds of transportation, such as cars, airplanes, boats and ships. So our change in diet is likely to be worse for the world, and for the weather warming than all the transportation we use now.

【3】句意：中国心脏病数量激增就是一个例子。根据上文Unfortunately, when people become rich, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health problems.

So our change in diet is likely to be worse for the world, and for the weather warming than all the transportation we use now.（由于饮食的变化，未来这些地区的温室气体将超过目前所有交通工具（如汽车、飞机、船只）所产生的温室气体。因此，我们饮食的改变对世界和气候变暖的影响可能比我们现在使用的所有交通工具都要严重。）可知本段的主题是“饮食也对环境有害。”故选E。

【5】句意：这些地区将需要生产更多的食物。根据上文As the world’s population grows, more forests will become farmland or grasslands（随着世界人口的增长，更多的森林将变成农田或草地。）结合选项（句意）可知此句是“这些地区将需要生产更多的食物。” 故选B。
