【解析】

這是一篇議論文。隨著氣候變化，北極熊海冰棲息地減少，人類在北極地區(qū)的活動增加，導(dǎo)致人和北極熊的沖突呈現(xiàn)上升趨勢。作者認(rèn)為政府和個人都應(yīng)該采取措施，在保護(hù)人類安全的同時，要保護(hù)好瀕危的海洋動物北極熊以及他們的棲息地。

【1】根據(jù)下一句Last year,there were 21 conflicts in the village of Ittoqqortoormiit,Greenland,alone.(去年就有21起沖突發(fā)生在格陵蘭島的Ittoqqortoormiit村。)可知F選項“For example,9 human-polar bear conflicts were reported in all of Greenland in 2007.(2007年在格陵蘭島就有9起人與北極熊沖突的記錄)”與該句存在對比關(guān)系，說明人和北極熊的沖突呈現(xiàn)上升趨勢的觀點(diǎn)。故選F項。

【2】根據(jù)下一句as the changing climate reduces polar bears’ sea-ice habitat(棲息地)，and as humans take advantage of that ice loss in pursuit of economic opportunity.(因為氣候變化北極熊海冰棲息地的減少，人類利用海冰減少的機(jī)會尋求經(jīng)濟(jì)機(jī)會，)可知沖突會進(jìn)一步加劇，故A選項和后面一句存在因果關(guān)系。故選A項。

【3】根據(jù)下一句Patrolmen help to safely scare away bears that may wander into their streets,using bright lights,loud noises,and etc.(巡邏人員用亮光和大聲音來幫助人們安全的驅(qū)趕北極熊)，本句中的“Patrolmen”與D選項的“patrols”相呼應(yīng)。故選D項。

【4】根據(jù)下一句it’s also important to keep wildlife safe.(保護(hù)野生動物安全也很重要。)中“also”與C選項“But it’s not just about protecting human life.(但是它不僅僅保護(hù)人類生命。)中的“not just（不僅僅）”形成對比。C項起承上啟下作用。故選C項。

【5】最后兩段都在談?wù)撊绾伪Ｗo(hù)北極熊。第4段是從國家層面來講，而第5段根據(jù)段意是從個人層面來講，且本段中的“common people”與B選項中的“Ordinary people”相呼應(yīng)。故選B項。

七選五的解題技巧之一是根據(jù)上下文的詞匯來鎖定線索。即：要關(guān)注空白前后的名詞和動詞，然后在選項中查找他們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等。其次是一些專有名詞，比如說數(shù)詞、代詞、時間、年代、地點(diǎn)和名稱等。在本文中，第3小題，原句中的“Patrolmen”與D選項的“patrols”相呼應(yīng)。第5小題中，原句“common people”與B選項中的“Ordinary people”相呼應(yīng)。
