82、ea.To find out, team members travel each year to coral reefs near the Philippines.There, they carefully catalog populations of different fish. They collect data on the growth and mating of these fish, their diversity and other factors.“Pinskys broad approach to the problem looking at species, where
83、they live and how fisheries are managed is setting the pace for other scientists,” says Kimberly Oremus, a fishery economist at the University of Delaware in Newark, “Pinsky is pushing the whole field to respond to his growing body of research.”语篇解读:本文主要讲述了海洋生态学家Marlin Pinsky 在两次突然醒悟的瞬间之后,带领着一个20人的团

89、s the amount of sea ice.No wonder that the US.Fish and Wildlife Service identified the rapid decline of sea ice as“the primary threat to polar bears” _2_ Removing even a single species can have potentially serious consequences.Polar bears are top of the line predators (捕食者) in areas where they live.
90、All large predators perform a very important function._3_ When an animal group loses its natural predators, overpopulation, sickness and mass dieoffs can result.A sudden increase in population of Arctic seals would have a direct effect on the prey of seals and could reduce numbers of certain types o
91、f fish.This could have a direct effect on humans._4_ If people want a more peoplecentered reason to save polar bears, it may be that the lack of polar bears could eventually affect human food supply and commercial fishing industries.The idea that no species, including humans, lives without depending
92、 on others might be the most important human reason to save this species._5_ These include things like finding energy sources that dont give off greenhouse gases, not making any more attacks on polar bears, and stopping drilling for oil or natural gas in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR)AAn
93、 ecosystem is highly dependent on all of its parts.BThey feed on seal, fish and native populations of deer.CTheyve lost most of their home ground for human activities.DThey can help regulate and control the populations of other species.EWe humans do have responsibility to save the life on the planet
94、 Earth!FPeople might have to compete with Arctic seals for food supplies from fish.GThere are some things that may help slow warming trends and save polar bears.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。因为人类活动,北极熊已经失去了大部分的栖息地。文章说明保护北极熊的重要性及措施。1选C根据空后一句可知,空处内容应是有关北极熊失去的东西的。“And”和“also”表明设空处与空后是并列关系。故C项“因为人类活动,它们已经失去了大部分的栖息地”符合语
95、境。2选A根据空后一句及后面的举例可知,任何一个物种的缺失都可能会引起严重的后果。故A项“生态系统高度依赖于它的所有部分”符合语境。3选D根据空前一句及空后内容可知,所有的捕食者都在自己所生存的领域中扮演着重要角色,一旦失去它们,会导致很多问题的出现。故该空承上启下,说明的应是捕食者所扮演的重要角色,故D项“他们能帮助调节和控制其他物种的数量”符合语境。4选F根据空前一句及空后的内容可知,海豹数量的激增会导致鱼类数量的减少,会给人类带来直接影响,F项(人类可能会与海豹竞争食物鱼类)直接承接上文“a direct effect on humans”,并与下文最终影响人类的食物供应和渔业的发展衔接
96、自然。故F项符合语境。5选G根据空后一句可知,本段主要说明的是保护北极熊的措施。故G项“有一些事情可能有助于减缓(气候)变暖的趋势,拯救北极熊”符合语境。空后的“These”与G项中的“some things”的对应关系亦是提示。.短文改错Last weekend I went fishing with my cousins by a river, where is two miles away from my home by bike.When we were about to return for home, we found one of our bike lost.We were re
