About 3 billion people live within 100 miles (160km) of the sea, a number that could double in the next decade as humans flock to coastal cities. 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. Now, the【C7】________of that damage are starting to be felt onshore.
Thailand provides a【C8】________example. In the 1990s it cleared coastal plants to set up fish farms. Ocean storm surges in 2011, no longer【C9】________by the plants, rushed in to【C10】________the country’s industrial heartland, causing billions of dollars of damage.
More【C11】________is the global mismanagement of fish stocks. About 3 billion people get a fifth of then-protein from fish, making it a more important protein source than beef.【C12】________a vicious cycle has developed as fish stocks decline and fishermen【C13】________to grab what they can of the remainder.【C14】________the Food and Agriculture Organization, a third of fish stocks in the oceans are over-exploited. People could be eating much better, were fishing stocks【C15】________managed.
The forests are often called the lungs of the Earth, but the description better fits the oceans. They produce half the world’s【C16】________of oxygen. At the moment, the oceans are moderating the【C17】________of global warming— though that may not【C18】________This cannot be good news,【C19】________scientists are still debating the likely consequences.【C20】________, the decades of damage imposed on the oceans are now damaging the environment on land.
【C18】
选项
A、end
B、change
C、last
D、help
答案
C
解析
从下一句的This cannot be good news可以推断出,前面说到的海洋的缓和作用由于海洋受到的破坏而难以为继。C项last“持续”符合此处的语境。A项end和B项change分别表示“结束”和“改变”,海洋的缓和作用不会结束或改变,是一个好消息,与后面的This cannot be good news逻辑不一致。海洋正在缓和全球变暖是事实,对环境有帮助,因此that may not help说不通,故排除D项help。
