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. And the list goes on.

Advances in computing power and molecular biology are among the tremendous increases in scientific capability that【C7】________helping resear-chers【C8】________a better understanding of these problems.

选项
A、take over
B、take off
C、take down
D、take on
答案
A
解析
本题考查动词词组,等同于考动词。首先定位本填空的主语为new developments(新的发展),宾语为more land(更多的土地)。根据这些线索应该不难定位出本填空动词所应表达的意思大概为“占据、侵占”。四个选项的具体意思为:A项take over(接管,接收)、B项take off[取走,拿走;(飞机)起飞]、C项take down(拿下;卸下;降下)、D项take on(承接,承担)。考虑到原文全句的信息为Wildlife habitats are being degraded or disappearing altogether as new developments________more land. 通过提示线索as揭示出前后句子实际为因果关系,即本填空后面句子为前面的原因,而前面讲述的为“野生动物在减少和消亡”,所以本填空的宾语land实际上是由Wildlife habitats占据的,人类的发展后来占据了这些land,这个过程就是由“接管、接收”而引申为“占据”,所以符合此意思的选项为A项take over(接管,接收)。
