The oceans produce $3 trillion of goods and services each year and untold【C1】______for the Earth’s ecology. Life could not exist【C2】______these vast water reserves—and, if anything, they are becoming even more important to humans than before.
Mining is about to begin under the seabed in the high seas. New summer shipping lanes are opening【C3】______the Arctic Ocean. The genetic resources of marine life promise a big【C4】______: the number of patents has been rising at 12% a year.
But these developments are【C5】______compared with vaster forces reshaping the Earth, both on land and at sea It has long been clear that people are damaging the oceans—【C6】______the melting of the Arctic ice in summer and the death of marine lives.

选项
A、under
B、across
C、around
D、above
答案
B
解析
本句提到正在开辟夏季新航道,航道是指在水域内供船舶航行的通道,可推测出后面的北冰洋就是航道的水域范围。B项across有“跨越,穿越”之意,指从一定范围的一边到另一边。符合语义逻辑。
