The result is that the oceans are becoming acid—a change in the【S2】______balance that threatens the oceans’ web of life.

Changing something as【S5】______as the PH of seawater has profound effects. Increased acidity attacks the shells of shellfish and the skeletal foundation of corals (珊瑚), dissolving the calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) they’re made of. Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Ocean acidification【S6】______the corals and every other【S7】______that makes its living on the reefs.
The authors tried to determine which past acidification events【S8】______the best comparison to what is happening now. The closest analogies are disastrous events, often associated with intense volcanic ac tivity resulting in major extinctions. The difference is that those events【S9】______thousands of years.

解析
空格位于名词ocean acidification和the corals之间,由此可判断该句结构为主谓宾,故空格处应填入动词。根据文意,海洋酸化会威胁到海洋生物,因此应选择threatens“威胁”。
