B.wasleaving C.hadleft

B.deaths C.dead

B.tobeathreat C.threatening D.beingathreat【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：只有当我们学会与自然和谐相处时，我们才能停止对野生动物和我们的星球的威胁。threaten为动词“威胁”，threatensb./sth.“威胁某人或某物”。根据空后的to可知，该空处需要用beathreatto“对…构成威胁”。stoptodosth.“停下来去做某事”，该短语表示停下现在做的事情去做另外一件事。stopdoingsth.“停止做某事”，该短语表示停下做现在的事情。此处指停止现在对野生动物和地球的威胁，所以be需要动名词形式being。故选D。6.“Whenyou________toughtimes,youmeetothersonlinewhoarefacingsimilarchallenges,”Jansaid.A.goagainst

B.withwhich C.towhom D.withwhom【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这就是昨天演讲者在演讲中提到的那位建筑师。referto意为“提及”，所以此处应用介词to。在定语从句中缺少介词to的宾语，且先行词为architect“建筑师”，所以应用关系代词whom。故选C。10.Wewillstartatthepoint________weleftofflasttime.A.when B.where
