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.

【C1】
选项
A、ascended
B、assaulted
C、erased
D、endangered
答案
D
解析
四个选项的意思分别是ascended上升;assaulted攻击;erased抹去,擦掉;endan—gered危及。文章要表达的意思是世界上大多数大型海港城市将会受到威胁:如新奥尔良,阿姆斯特丹,上海和开罗。所以正确答案是D项,如We should do our best to saveendangered species(我们应该竭尽全力挽救濒于灭绝的生物)。
