33、sula continues. Experts say that a big part of the problem is related to food：Less ice means less krill(磷虾), a cornerstone(基石) of the Antarctic ecosystem and a mainstay of a penguins diet.“When you look at all penguins they are largely in trouble，” said Oxford University penguinologist Tom Hart, who

38、tic ecosystem.”Since krill feed on phytoplankton(浮游植物) that grow under ice cover, warming waters and disappearing sea ice have contributed to decreasing Antarctic krill populations. According to Al Jazeera, other recent studies have shown that krill in the Southern Ocean may have declined by about 8
39、0 percent since the 1970s.“Simply put, without krill, most of the life forms in the Antarctic would disappear，” National Geographic said.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。南极洲的冰层因气候变暖持续融化，这已严重影响到企鹅的生存。1What problem will penguins face?ALoss of habitat.

40、理解题。由第二段中的“a big part of the problem is related to food：Less ice means less krill(磷虾). penguins diet”可知，由于南极冰层的持续融化，企鹅将面临的问题主要与食物有关，冰少了意味着磷虾少了，磷虾是南极洲生态系统的基石，也是企鹅的主要食物。2What is Tom Harts attitude toward the penguins situation?AUncaring.

44、sea ice have contributed to decreasing Antarctic krill populations”以及最后一段中的“without krill, most of the life forms in the Antarctic would disappear”可知，气候变暖使得南极的冰层融化，这导致磷虾的数量锐减，而如果没有磷虾，南极大部分生命都会消失。 完形填空Last week，on my way back to the office，I stopped to get a salad from Potbelly，a sandwich shop.I 1 th
