【4】C

【5】B

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。随着气候变化，北极熊海冰栖息地减少，人类在北极地区的活动增加，导致人和北极熊的冲突呈现上升趋势。作者认为政府和个人都应该采取措施，在保护人类安全的同时，要保护好濒危的海洋动物北极熊以及他们的栖息地。

【1】根据下一句Last year,there were 21 conflicts in the village of Ittoqqortoormiit,Greenland,alone.(去年就有21起冲突发生在格陵兰岛的Ittoqqortoormiit村。)可知F选项“For example,9 human-polar bear conflicts were reported in all of Greenland in 2007.(2007年在格陵兰岛就有9起人与北极熊冲突的记录)”与该句存在对比关系，说明人和北极熊的冲突呈现上升趋势的观点。故选F项。

【2】根据下一句as the changing climate reduces polar bears’ sea-ice habitat(栖息地)，and as humans take advantage of that ice loss in pursuit of economic opportunity.(因为气候变化北极熊海冰栖息地的减少，人类利用海冰减少的机会寻求经济机会，)可知冲突会进一步加剧，故A选项和后面一句存在因果关系。故选A项。

【3】根据下一句Patrolmen help to safely scare away bears that may wander into their streets,using bright lights,loud noises,and etc.(巡逻人员用亮光和大声音来帮助人们安全的驱赶北极熊)，本句中的“Patrolmen”与D选项的“patrols”相呼应。故选D项。

【4】根据下一句it’s also important to keep wildlife safe.(保护野生动物安全也很重要。)中“also”与C选项“But it’s not just about protecting human life.(但是它不仅仅保护人类生命。)中的“not just（不仅仅）”形成对比。C项起承上启下作用。故选C项。

【5】最后两段都在谈论如何保护北极熊。第4段是从国家层面来讲，而第5段根据段意是从个人层面来讲，且本段中的“common people”与B选项中的“Ordinary people”相呼应。故选B项。

七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文的词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找他们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点和名称等。在本文中，第3小题，原句中的“Patrolmen”与D选项的“patrols”相呼应。第5小题中，原句“common people”与B选项中的“Ordinary people”相呼应。
