【解析】

试题分析：句意：鹤的数量越来越少。如果我们不帮助它们，它们在几年后就会消失。fewer and fewer越来越少larger and larger越来越大more and more越来越多smaller and smaller越来越小。其一，number的多少要使用large和small来修饰，其二，in a few days 几天以后（以内） 用于将来时，从说话时算起。 after a few days 几天以后，用于过去式，从过去时间点时算起。所以选出正确答案D。

考点：1.考查number的修饰词。2. 考查in a few days 和after a few days的不同。
