10.答案：B

解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞上文“early-21st-centuryNewYorkCityisalasthavenfor

endangeredlanguages（21世紀初的紐約市是瀕危語言的最后避難所）“可知，21世紀初的

紐約市是瀕危語言的最后避難所，說明這些瀕危語言在其他地方正被驅(qū)逐出存在的空

間，houndedoutofexistence意為“被驅(qū)逐出存在"，也就是受到威脅的意思。故選B。

11.答案：A

解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Forthepastdecade,oneofthemostlinguistically（語言

foryouryoung.（當你快要餓死的時候，游109英里是不容易的。當你的體重以每天2.2

磅的速度下降時，想要活下來也不容易。如果你是一個哺乳期的媽媽，而你的卡路里

攝入量下降得太低，以至于你無法再生產(chǎn)出照顧孩子所需的奶量，這可能是最困難

的。）”以及后文對北極熊所面臨的食物越來越少的問題可知，文章第一段是為了引出

文章的主題：北極熊面臨食物短缺的問題，故選B。

13.答案：D

解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“Theresearchersfollowed20differentpolarbearsin

Manitoba,Canada,from2019to2022,fittingthemwithGPStrackersandvideocollarsand

periodicallytranquilizing（麻醉）themtoanalyzestheirblood,bodymass,anddailyenergy

consumption.（從2019年至I」2022年，研究者在加拿大Manitoba跟蹤了20只不同的北極

熊，給它們安裝了GPS跟蹤器和視頻項圈，并定期麻醉它們來分析它們的血液、體重

和日常能量消耗。）”可知，研究者通過GPS和視頻項圈追蹤北極熊，以此來進行對北

極熊的研究，故選D。

14.答案：D

解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段“"ThepolarbearsinHudsonBayareprobablyatthe

edgeoftherangeatwhichtheycansurviverightnow,“saysAnthonyPagano,aresearch

biologistwiththeU.S.GeologicalSurreyandtheleadauthorofthepaper."Mostofthe

modelingworksuggeststhataround2050,theyaregoingtobeonlandandawayfromtheir

primaryhabitatontheice.”（這篇論文的主要作者、美國地質(zhì)研究所的研究生物學家

AnthonyPagano說道：“哈德遜灣的北極熊現(xiàn)在可能處于它們可以生存的范圍的邊緣。

大多數(shù)建模工作表明，從2050年左右，它們將生活在陸地上，遠離冰上的主要棲息

地“。）”可知，AnthonyPagano認為哈德遜灣的北極熊可能處于它們可以生存的范圍的

邊緣，冰上的棲息地會逐漸消失，由此推知，AnthonyPagano認為由于棲息地的喪

失，北極熊將難以生存，故選D。

15.答案：A

解析：主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第二段“AsanewspaperinNatureCommunicationsreveals,

allofthosechallengesandmorearefacingtheworld'spolarbears,thankstodisappearingsea

iceinourwarmingworld,denyingtheanimalsaplatformthattheyneedtohuntforseals.（iE

如《自然通訊》中國的一份報紙所揭示的那樣，由于海冰在我們變暖的世界中消失，

使北極熊失去了捕獵海豹所需的平臺，世界上的北極熊正面臨著所有這些挑戰(zhàn)和更多

挑戰(zhàn)。）”可知，文章主要圍繞海冰的消失，導致北極熊無法在海上尋找食物，它們面

臨著因為棲息地的消失而艱難求生的挑戰(zhàn)，故文章主要介紹北極熊面臨的挑戰(zhàn)，故選

Ao

16.答案：①-⑤ECGDB

解析：①根據(jù)后文“Theystillcontainlevelsofchlorineandotherminerals,buttheamount

issignificantlylow.（它們?nèi)匀缓新群推渌V物質(zhì)，但含量很低）”可知，空后一句鹽水

泳池仍然含有氯和其他礦物質(zhì)，可知此處需要一個句子表示轉(zhuǎn)折，提供了一個重要的

澄清，即鹽水泳池并不是完全不含化學物質(zhì)。故E選項“然而，鹽水池并非完全沒有化

學物質(zhì)”符合語境，故選E。

②根據(jù)上文“Whatsetssaltwaterpoolsapartfromtheirtraditionalcounterparts?With

traditionalchlorinepools,ownersmustmonitorandadjustchemicallevelsregularlyto

maintainproperbalance-toomuchortoolittlecancausemajorproblemsforswimmers.（是什

么讓鹽水池與傳統(tǒng)的同類水池區(qū)別開來？對于傳統(tǒng)的含氯泳池，業(yè)主必須定期監(jiān)測和

調(diào)整化學物質(zhì)的含量，以保持適當?shù)钠胶狻^多或過少都會給游泳者帶來嚴重的問

題）”可知，空前一句提到傳統(tǒng)氯池需要定期監(jiān)測和調(diào)整化學水平，故本句承接上文說

明這一做法的利弊。故C選項“這很累人，也很耗時”符合語境，故選C。

③I艮據(jù)上文“Withasaltwatersystemsetupinthepool,onedoesn'thavetospendasmuch

timetestingandadjustingchemicallevels.Thegeneratorautomaticallyproducesenough

chlorinebasedonthepool'ssize.（在游泳池里安裝了鹽水系統(tǒng)，人們就不必花那么多時間

測試和調(diào)整化學物質(zhì)的含量。發(fā)生器根據(jù)池的大小自動產(chǎn)生足夠的氯）”可知，上文提

到鹽水池系統(tǒng)安裝后，人們不必花費同樣多的時間測試和調(diào)整化學水平，發(fā)生器會根

據(jù)泳池大小自動產(chǎn)生足夠的氯，此處需要一個句子來說明鹽水池系統(tǒng)的好處。故G選

項“這就像讓一個助理處理事務，而你只管盡情享受！”符合語境，故選G。

④根據(jù)上文“Haveyoueverbeeninatraditionalchlorinepoolanyhomeoutwithred,

irritated（刺癢的）skinorburningeyes?（你是否曾經(jīng)在傳統(tǒng)的氯池中，或者在家里發(fā)現(xiàn)皮

膚發(fā)紅、過敏或眼睛灼熱？）”可知，空前一句提到在傳統(tǒng)氯池中游泳后，人們可能會

感到皮膚發(fā)紅、刺痛或眼睛灼痛，因此可以推斷氯對人體有刺激作用。又根據(jù)后文

“Saltwaterpools,however,useasaltwaterchlorinationsystemthatproducesnaturalchlorine

totreatthewater,whichiskindertotheskinandeyes.Plus,mineralslikemagnesiumand

potassiuminsaltwaterpoolscanbenefittheskin.（然而，鹽水池使用的是一種能產(chǎn)生天然

氯的鹽水氯化系統(tǒng)來處理水，這對皮膚和眼睛更友好。止匕外，鹽水池中的鎂和鉀等礦

物質(zhì)對皮膚有益）”提到鹽水泳池使用的是鹽水加氯系統(tǒng)，該系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生天然氯來消毒水

質(zhì)，這對皮膚和眼睛更為溫和，前后形成對比，故D選項“氯對身體有害已經(jīng)不是什

么秘密了”符合語境，故選D。

⑤根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容“Saltwaterpoolsrequirefewerchemicaladditionsandresultinlower

chlorinebyproductemissions.Sincethere'snoneedforchemicalstorage,there'slessriskof

accidentsorspills.（咸水池需要較少的化學添加劑，導致較少的氯副產(chǎn)品排放。由于不

需要化學儲存，事故或泄漏的風險就會降低）”可知，本段主要說明了鹽水泳池對環(huán)境

友好，故B選項“改用咸水池也是環(huán)保的"符合語境，故選B。
