【解析】本文介紹了北極熊賴以生存的北極冰正在融化，這威脅著它們的生活環(huán)境。

【1】考查名詞�？蓴�(shù)名詞animal（動物）泛指，要用復(fù)數(shù)形式，作介詞for的賓語。故填animals.

【2】考查形容詞。形容詞frozen（冰封的）作定語，修飾名詞Arctic sea ice，故填frozen.

【3】考查關(guān)系代詞。定語從句，先行詞是danger （危險），要用關(guān)系代詞that / which在從句中作語，故填that / which.

【4】考查時態(tài)。有時間狀語since l978（自從1978年），所以要用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)：has reduced，故填has reduced.

【5】考查動詞。名詞 survival（幸存）作介詞for的賓語。故填survival.

【6】考查連詞。句意：海冰不僅僅是熊走過的這個平臺。固定詞組：more than（不僅僅），故填than.

【7】考查代詞。句意：沒有它，北極熊就不能生存。用代詞it代替上文提到的The sea ice（海冰）故填it.

【8】考查形容詞。形容詞natural（自然的）作表語，故填natural.

【9】考查形容詞。句意：但是在一個溫暖的世界里，這些周期加快，而熊就有更少的時間去打獵了。根據(jù)句意要用比較級less（更少），故填less.

【10】考查副詞。句意：這個平臺過后就會被用到。副詞later（后來，過后）作狀語，故填later.
