根据汉语提示用本单元词汇的正确形式填空
Wildlife ① came into existence (开始存在) billions of years ago, which used to live happily in their own homes and live ②in harmony with (与……和谐相处) other animals and plants. However, in recent years, animals are ③dying out (灭绝) at an alarming rate, 75 species every day ④on average (平均). In order to obtain their parts, organs, or the skin and fur, or to obtain high ⑤profits (利润), human beings ignore animal protection laws, engaging in ⑥illegal (违法的) killing. Furthermore, human activities have direct or indirect ⑦negative impacts on (消极影响) animals. ⑧On the one hand (一方面), the expansion of human activity space means the decrease of animal habitat, which directly disturbs their peaceful life. ⑨On the other hand (另一方面), human activities lead to the rise of global temperature, which threatens the survival of some animals, especially those species living in the polar regions. They live on ice, where they hunt the ocean creatures. But the rapid melting of ice makes it hard for them to ⑩adapt to (适应) the changes, which puts them in danger (处于危险之中). If we do not pay enough attention to (足够关注) this, the situation will be worse and the process of extinction will be accelerated.
We and wildlife belong to (属于) a common life circle, where we depend on each other. The extinction of masses of (大量) animals is an alarm to us. Protecting animals is to protect ourselves, which is urgent. If we do not act immediately (立刻;马上), perhaps the next species to die out in the near future will be ourselves.
