【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了雪豹的体重，长度，饮食和生活习性。因为气候和人为原因，雪豹正濒临灭绝。全世界的爱猫者在庆祝世界雪豹日的同时也呼吁大家能保护雪豹。

1.句意：它们当中的一些甚至能达到75kg的体重。

reach达到；stop停止；miss想念；leave离开。根据“They usually weigh between 27 and 55kg”可知这是在说明雪豹的体重范围。表示达到75kg的重量。故选A。

2.句意：它们有一个短小的身体。

long长的；weak虚弱的；strong强壮的；short短的。根据“It’s only 75 to 150 cm from the ___3___ to the tail.”可知75-150cm的身体是短小的。故选D。

3.句意：从头部到尾巴只有75-150cm。

head头部；leg腿；foot脚；arm手臂。根据“They have a ___2___ body”可知身体部位是从头部到尾巴。故选A。

4.句意：它们的身体很胖，毛皮很厚。

thin薄的；thick厚的；new新的；old旧的。根据“Their tails are also very thick.”可知毛皮厚，尾巴也很厚。故选B。

5.句意：这些皮毛能帮助它们丢失更少的热量。

much一些；fewer更少的；less更少的；more更多的。根据“Snow leopards … fat and their fur(毛皮)is ___4___”可知厚的皮毛能帮助雪豹在寒冷的地方保暖，单词lose是丢失，所以后面表示更少。Heat是不可数名词，要用less修饰。故选C。

6.句意：当它们睡觉的时候，尾巴能保护它们的脸。

hurt受伤；wake醒来；protect保护；shake摇动。根据“Their tails are also very thick.”可以厚的尾巴能保护睡梦中的脸。故选C。

7.句意：它们能杀死比它们重2-4倍的动物。

itself它自己；himself他自己；yourselves你们自己；themselves它们自己。反身代词指代主语they它们，复数形式。故选D。

8.句意：两个主要原因是采矿和气候的变化。

reasons原因；names名字；answers答案；replies回复。“mining(采矿)and climate(气候)change”是“snow leopards are endangered”的原因。故选A。

9.句意：但是，雪豹还是有未来的。

problem问题；home家；future未来；weight体重。根据“snow leopards are endangered and their living places are getting smaller and smaller.”可知雪豹濒临灭绝，情况不是很好，however转折表示雪豹还是有未来。故选C。

10.句意：全世界的爱猫人士在10月23号庆祝世界雪豹日。

in在……里；on在……上；for为了；at在……月份。日期前介词要用on。故选B。
