34、天气变化和人类活动的威胁，我们必须采取措施保护它们。故D项“救救大火的受害者：澳大利亚的考拉”适合作为文章标题。.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国正在建设世界上最大的地震预警系统。1答案与解析：reliable考查形容词。句意：不幸的是，我们没有一个可靠的方法来预测。本空修饰名词way，故应用形容词reliable，意为“可靠的，可信赖的”。2答案与解析：possibly考查副词。句意：它可能是最先进的。本空修饰形容词advanced，故应用副词possibly。3答案与解析：are setting考查时态。句意：工程师们正在全国范围内安装超过15，000个传感器，并将它们连接到一个网
35、络上。根据后面and并列的动词wiring及句意可知，本空应用现在进行时are setting。4答案与解析：When/If/Once/After考查状语从句连接词。句意：当/如果/一旦/地震发生时(地震发生后)，传感器可以向控制中心发送电脉冲。根据句意可知，本空可填When/If/Once/After。5答案与解析：giving考查现在分词。句意：该信号的传送速度几乎达到光速，比地震的震动速度还要快，给当地居民一点时间做准备。本空在句中作状语，且和主语“The signal”之间为主动关系，故应用现在分词作状语。6答案与解析：which考查非限制性定语从句。本空引导非限制性定语从句，修饰“T
