Most of the world’s great seaport cities would be【C1】______; New Orleans, Amsterdam, Shanghai , and Cairo. Some countries------Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean, islands in the Pacific— would be inundated. Heavily populated coastal areas such as in Bangladesh and Egypt,【C2】______large populations occupy low-lying areas, would suffer extreme【C3】______Warmer oceans would spawn stronger hurricanes and typhoons,【C4】______in coastal flooding, possibly swamping valuable agricultural lands around the world.【C5】______water quality may result as【C6】______flooding which forces salt water into coastal irrigation and drinking water supplies, and irreplaceable , natural【C7】______could be flooded with ocean water, destroying forever many of the【C8】______plant and animal species living there.

【C7】
选项
A、dry-land
B、mountain
C、wetlands
D、forest
答案
C
解析
在沿海地区,较多的是湿地,而且该空格的后一句提到生活在那里的稀有的动植物物种也将遭到永久性破坏,可见这个地方动植物种类非常独特,更加验证了答案应该是C项。其他选项均与原文的意思不符,所以排除。
