解答 答案:
61.warmer 考查形容词的比较级 根据句中的连词than可知,此处表示二者之间的比较,应使用形容词的比较级;故用warmer.
62.For/During 考查介词 此处用在表示一段时间的词组前面,意为:在一年中的大部分时间里,故用for/during.
63.them 考查人称代词 此处在句中作宾语,指代的是Polar bears;故用them.
64.threatens 考查时态 此处在that引导的定语从句中作谓语,根据上下文都使用了一般现在时可知,本文介绍的是北极熊现在的处境;由于主语danger为名词的单数形式,故用threatens.
65.since 考查从属连词 此处构成了本句的时间状语,根据从句使用了现在完成时可知,此处的意思是:自从…以来;故用since.
66.survival 考查名词 此处用在形容词性的物主代词their之后,意为:他们的生存;故用名词survival.
67.a 考查不定冠词 此处用在单数名词scientist 之前,表示泛指一位科学家;故用a.
68.Without 考查句意理解以及介词 此处在句中作状语,意为:没有它(海冰),他们就不可能存在;故用介词without.
69.But 考查句意理解以及连词 本句的意思是:一些极地冰的融化与重新冻结是很自然的,但是在一个更暖和的世界,这些周期便加快了;此处用在句首,表示的是转折关系,故用But.
70.when 考查句意理解以及连词 本句的意思是:当熊不积极打猎时,这些额外的脂肪后来就会被用掉;此处指的是:当…时候,故用when.
