17、d the sustainable catch of 124 species of fish and shellfish.”可知，新的研究发现，持续上升的海洋温度减少了鱼类和水生有壳动物的可持续捕鱼量。故选B项。2.D词义猜测题。根据第四段中画线词后的“One example is a kind of black sea fish.”以及“As warming continues，these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit.”可知，一个例子是一种黑色海鱼，它生活在美国东北部海岸。随着海水持续变暖，这些鱼的繁殖速度会

20、tationed herself outside her school to ask for donations to a local animal shelter.”及下文中的“Now Lizzy is also speaking out for farm animals.”可知，Lizzy二年级时就开始帮助当地的动物收容所筹款，现在又开始为保护农场动物贡献自己的一份力量。由此可知Lizzy希望保护、照顾动物。D项衔接上下文。3G联系上文中的“Shes recently joined The Humane Society of the United States Meatless Monda
21、y movement.She encourages young people to take a break from eating meat on Mondays.”可知，Lizzy参加了“周一无肉日”活动，并鼓励年轻人每逢周一食素。由此可知，她希望可以通过这项活动来挽救一些小动物并促使人们吃得更健康。G项符合此处语境。4E根据上文中的“Lizzy knows that raising animals for meat causes pollution，uses a lot of natural resources like water and also harms animals.”可知，Lizzy知道饲养为人们提供肉类的动物既浪费自然资源、污染环境，又会伤害动物，所以她认为每逢周一食素既环保又保护动物。E项与上文构成因果关系，与下文构成并列关系。5AA项“食素其实也很简单”与上文的“Its so easy to love animals”构成并列关系。下文的“For some kidandanimalfriendly meatless recipes，visit humanesociety.org/kindnews.”又是对A项的解释说明。第7页（共7页）学科网（北京）股份有限公司
