One of the most pressing challenges the world will face in the next few decades is how to alleviate the growing stress that human activities are placing【C1】________the environment. The consequences are just too great to【C2】________. Wildlife habitats are being degraded or disappearing altogether as new developments【C3】________more land. Plant and animal species are becoming【C4】________at a greater rate now than at any time in Earth’s history.【C5】________many as 30 percent of the world’s fish stocks are over-exploited.

【C11】
选项
A、said
B、expected
C、estimated
D、hoped
答案
C
解析
本填空考查动词,而且本段落的首句是典型的总结句,即本段落的总述:One priority for research is improving hydrological forecasting. (一个研究的重点就是改进水文预测),所以本段落的主题已经被概括出来了,即hydrological forecasting。之后的分述,即本填空所在的句子讲述了It has been________that the world’s water use would triple in the next two decades. 这里还出现了将来时态would,那么本填空的动作自然与“预测”有关,四个选项中C项estimated(预测)是最为合适的,其他选项例如A项said(据说)、B项expected(期望)和D项hoped(希望)等动词均不合适。
