选项 61._________
A:. those
B: these
C: another
D: other
答案 D
解析 本空应选择attack，因为第一句说到：人们认为鲨鱼是a deadly enemy，也就是说鲨鱼会对人类造成伤害。第二句是对deadly enemy的具体说明。其他三个选项meet,love , visit都不合适，love与上下文意思相反，meet和visit与上下文意思不符。


空格所在的句子由but连接，所以该句表达的意思一定与第二句相反。第二句对鲨鱼的评价是负面的，填入空格的词应该是正面的。四个选项中只有Valuable符合这一条件，所以是答案。


第三句说到鲨鱼有益于“waters and human beings"，第五句又说到鲨鱼濒临灭绝的危险。根据上下文的意思，threatening（威胁）到它们的应该是existence（生存）。其他三个选项source , friends , fish都不合适，与上下文意思没有联系。


固定搭配。at risk意为“处于危险之中”。因此D项正确。


四个选项的意思都是“因为”，但是从用法上分析，because , since和by reason that之后要接句子，because of之后接名词或名词短语。their warm waters是名词短语，所以要选用because of。


“... people also swim”明显是定语从句，其先行词是表示地点的名词area,所以要选关系副词where。


从上下文判断，本句的意思是：鲨鱼将人错认为是海洋动物。而“将……错认为是” 的英语表达是mistake...for，所以本题的答案是选项B。


本段的意思是：鲨鱼并非故意袭击人类。人们认为，由于鲨鱼将人错认为是海狮等海洋动物，在饥饿时才袭击人类。日出和日落时，正是鲨鱼饥肠辘辘的时候，人们不应该出海游泳。空格填入的词应该与时间有关，所以times是答案，而与地点有关的选项( places , seas和oceans）与上下文意思脱节。


本段第一、二句是说，鲨鱼的嗅觉特别灵敏，能嗅到海水中存在的极为微量的气味。作者举了三个物质：血、体液和化学品。空格要填入表示物质的名词。四个选项中唯一表达物质的词是chemicals（化学品）。所以chemicals是答案，而其他三个选项与学科有关，脱离了上下文的意思，不是本题的答案。


在第一、二句意思的基础上，作者进一步说明，灵敏的嗅觉有助于鲨鱼找到食物。所以本题的答案是senses，因为feelings , touches和tastes都与smells无关。


本句的中心词是复数的sharks , another所修饰的名词一般是单数，所以不会是答案。these和those是表特指的代词，指代前面出现过的名词。由于前面没有先行词，所以也不可能是答案。剩下的other是答案，any other sharks的说法也合乎英语的用法。


本句是说，医学研究员们想了解更多鲨鱼对抗疾病的身体防御和免疫系统。对抗用against。因此A项正确。


本段最后一句的意思是：医学研究人员研究鲨鱼的目的是为了找到一种人类抗病的方法。所以，空格所在句子的意思应该是recover( quickly from injuries)。科学家想要探索的应该是有关受伤鲨鱼recover quickly from injuries的秘密，而reform（改造）、re-turn（回归）和rely（依靠）只是与答案recover在词形上有点相似而已，其意思与上下文的意思风马牛不相及。


从上下文判断，鲨鱼的存在能使oceans得益。鲨鱼不生活在river, forests或 mountains中，所以这三个选项不会是答案。


本段其余三句都是说明为什么鲨鱼有益于海洋。它们吃海洋动物，结果使得海洋中的动物数量不会过多。weak ,little ,few都与上面表达的意思相反，所以只有great是答案。
