4、r.Observers using air photography noted the whales looked skinnier and arrived in Mexico in poor condition,which suggests they were not finding enough food during the summer.This die-off is alarmingly similar to the events of 20 years ago,with another UME resulting in a significant drop in the gray

30、 likely blamed on the changing conditions of the Arctic(尽管最终原因尚未确定,但人们认为灰鲸数量已经达到了承载能力数量增长过快,环境无法承受。虽然这种观点也被认为是导致这种灭绝的原因,但它更有可能被归咎于北极环境的变化).”可知,环境变化才是数量减少的关键因素,故选C项。4.B解析: 观点态度题。由最后一段中的“This die-off is a reminder that delisting doesnt indicate a populations secure future.New threats arise,climate cha

31、nge upends habitats,and continued monitoring is needed in case a crash comes(这次灭绝提醒人们,除名并不意味着一个种群的未来就安全了。新的威胁出现了,气候变化颠覆了栖息地,我们仍需持续监测,以防崩溃发生).”可知,作者对灰鲸的未来表示担忧,故选B项。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。一对退休的西藏夫妇在晚年搬到拉萨城郊,他们在那里种葡萄和酿制葡萄酒,并为农村居民提供工作,促进了当地的发展。5.A解析: 细节理解题。由第一段和第二段内容可知,这对夫妻在拉萨城郊种植葡萄和酿制葡萄酒,故选A项。6.C解析: 细节理解题。由第三段
