[M]ascending[N]collapse[O]inconvenience
【B6】
选项
答案I
解析 所填词在句中的位置及空前形容词extreme提示所填词应为名词。本句的主语small accumulations of ice与前两句的主语heavy accumulations of ice存在对立关系。前面讲厚的积雪能压倒树木…，而本句句首的副词even表示递进，因此本句的大意应为“甚至很小的积雪也会对驾车者和骑车者造成严重的……”。备选名词中[I]hazards和[O]inconvenience在意义上都能使句意通顺，但是因为整篇文章讲的是暴风雪所造成的破坏性后果，[O]inconvenience(不方便)显然在程度上与整篇文章不符，故可排除，本题答案应是[I]hazards(危险)。
