【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。人类与许多不同种类的野生动物共享地球。然而,我们的许多动物朋友可能已经不在了。根据世界野生动物基金会(WWF)10月份发布的《地球生命力报告》,自1970年以来,包括哺乳动物、鸟类和鱼类在内的动物数量平均下降了60%,因此我们应该采取措施保护它们。1.Whatdidthe

【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义/句意:运用逻辑推理猜测词义/句意是使用最广、考查最多也最易失分的猜词/句方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力,充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境,从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系,理顺语言之间的逻辑关系,进而达到猜词/句的目的。如第4小题,根据画线部分所在句“Wearethefirstgenerationtoknowwearedestroyingourplanetandthelastonethatcandoanythingaboutit,”WWFUKChiefExecutiveTanyaSteeletoldCNN.可知,世界自然基金会英国分会首席执行官TanyaSteele告诉CNN:“我们是第一代知道我们正在破坏我们的星球的人,也是最后一代对此无能为力的人。”也就是说,画线部分的意思是“我们不应该做更多的事情来摧毁我们的星球”。故选C。Ⅱ.完形填空(2021·济宁高二检测)
