A river’s colors hold clues to what flows in its water, from soft-green algae to yellow-brown mud. Human eyes might miss【B1】________shifts in these shadings, but satellites can【B2】________them—and researchers can use them to track large-scale changes and【B3】________spot【B4】________of trouble.
A team led by University of Pittsburgh environmental scientist John R. Gardner analyzed 234,727 satellite images,【B5】________67,000 miles of U. S. rivers over 35 years. The researchers isolated the main light wavelength each river reflected,【B6】________ shifting colors into grids of numbers.
Gardner’s group found sediment-laden yellow (56 percent) and algal green (38 percent)【B7】________the country’s rivers. A third of them had changed color over the past few decades,【B8】________the fastest shifts often near sediment-trapping dams. This effect is clear and【B9】________
Western U.S. river colors【B10】________moved toward the blue end of the spectrum over time, suggesting they carried【B11】________sand and silt. But many rivers in the Northeast showed a "red shift" that made them appear more yellow, indicating lower water levels or【B12】________sediment. Gardner says this【B13】________suggests that regional factors, such as land-use patterns and watershed-management【B14】________, influence long-term river hue shifts.
"We also found very distinct【B15】________patterns," Gardner says. Many of the nation’s rivers turn yellower in spring or summer【B16】________peaking rainfall muddies the waters.【B17】________the timing also【B18】________geography and human activity such as【B19】________
Using satellites to gauge changes in river composition could warn scientists when environments begin to【B20】________balance, the researchers say.

选项
A、potentially
B、intentionally
C、substantially
D、randomly
答案
[A]
解析
本题考查副词辨析。四个选项分别为[A]potentially“可能地,潜在地”;[B]intentionally“故意地,有意地”;[C]substantially“非常,大大地,基本上,大体上,总的来说”;[D]randomly“随机地,任意地”。文章最后一句表明利用卫星探测河流成分的变化可以警告科学家,结合空格3和4所给单词选项,该句可以理解为卫星可能会发现一些潜在的麻烦的迹象,从而可以起到警告科学家的作用。故选项[A]正确。
