The result is 41 —rising temperatures have turned sea turtle population female. The sex of a sea turtle is 42 by the temperature of the nesting environment. Warm temperatures produce more female hatchlings, and cooler temperatures produce more males. During the past two decades, temperatures in northern Great Barrier Reef have increased to the point that virtually no male turtles are produced, 43 raises new concerns over the immediate threats of climate change to the population’s future. Sea turtles, protected under the Endangered Species Act, are among the most ancient species roaming the oceans and have adjusted to shifting climates. Increasing numbers of females may 44 be a good thing for its population. The reproductive potential can be boosted. The problem, however, is that the modern climate appears to be changing faster than turtles can adjust to it. Species evolve 45 climate and other environmental changes, but they need time for that. According to researchers of World Wildlife Fund Australia, setting up shade cloth to cool beaches might help, but the only sustainable solution is to stop climate change.

- 觀念驗證：
本題考查的是非限定用法關係代名詞。在空格前，句子完整描述了「北葛列格里礁氣溫上升導致幾乎沒有雄性海龜出生」的事實。空格後的動詞
raises指出「這件事」引發了擔憂。當我們需要一個代名詞來指代前面整個子句所描述的情況時，標準用法就是使用 , which。選項 (A) while 是連接詞，後方需接完整子句；(B) 與 (D) 語意不通。
