[语篇解读] 从20世纪80年代开始,人们才开始使用现代的方法保护北极熊种群。生物学家计算出全世界大约有20 000~25 000只北极熊。北极熊的数量正在下降。
1.that [考查名词性从句。本句含有一个同位语从句,解释了名词evidence“证据”的具体内容,空处在从句中不充当成分,也无意义,故本空填连接代词that。]
2.poorly [考查词性转换。应用副词poorly修饰动词studied。]
3.of/for [考查介词。名词method后接介词of/for,表示“……的方法”。]
4.to perform [考查非谓语动词。本句含有“主语+be+adj.+不定式”结构,主语通常是不定式动作的承受者,不定式用主动形式表示被动含义。]
5.have reported [考查时态和主谓一致。句中的时间状语In recent years多与现在完成时连用,主语some Inuit people为复数意义,因此本空填have reported。]
6.belief [考查词性转换。根据空前的a可知,短语leading to后接的是名词,作宾语,故本空填belief。]
7.noting [考查非谓语动词。在介词by后,应用动名词作宾语,故本空填noting。]
8.higher [考查比较级。根据空后的连词than可知,本句表示比较意义,因此本空应填higher。]
9.the [考查冠词。Of the nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations“在这19个已知的北极熊亚种群当中”,本空应填定冠词the,表示特指。]
10.are [考查时态和主谓一致。本句其他谓语用了一般现在时,本句的主语six指代six polar bear subpopulations,表示复数意义,故本空应填谓语动词are。]
