参考答案
正确答案:B
解析:根据题干中的discovered和the Arctic将本题出处定位到首段。该段提到,科学家已经发现,北极地区温度的升高,使得新一波被禁用的有毒化学物质被释放出来,这些物质之前一直被困在冰层和冰冷的海水中。[B]中的Poisons stored in the region对应toxic chemicals…trapped in the ice andcold water,leaking out对应releasing,global warming对应The warming of theArctic对应,故答案为[B]。科学家发现的是被困在冰层和冰冷的海水中的有毒化学物质被释放出来,并不是发现冰层和冰冷的海水中包含有毒化学物质,故排除[A]。文中提到冻结在这个极地的毒素数量不明,而且,这些毒素的释放会“破坏人们在保护环境和人类免受这些毒素伤害方面所做的全球努力”,并未提及毒素数量能毁灭全人类,故排除[C]。文中提到北极地区温度升高,但未提及这一区域的生态系统因此改变,故排除[D]。
