Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，在空白處填入1個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

Today, many people are worried about endangered species. But isn't it just normal for some animals to die out?

The situation today is different from 【1】 of the past. In the past, animals died out over a long period of time. When animals died out in the past, it was usually because of the weather or other 【2】 (nature) causes.

What is happening today is 【3】 ( total) different. We are killing millions of species in a short time. The result is that we are killing our future, because so many species 【4】( kill) in such a short time that even 【5】 fittest can't survive. In fact, there won't be enough species to choose from. Without enough animals and plants, evolution cannot function and nature will get 【6】( bad) instead of better.

Many of the species 【7】( disappear) on earth are unknown and few people even know that they are dying out. These animals and plants started to live on earth long 【8】 us and we have no right to kill them. We may also need these species in the future. We must try to keep the endangered species alive. If we allow these species 【9】(die)out, we are in fact becoming endangered 【10】(our).

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】that

【2】natural

【3】totally

【4】are (being) killed

【5】the

【6】worse

【7】disappearing

【8】before

【9】to die

【10】ourselves

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。由于人類的捕殺，大量物種滅絕，如若人類繼續(xù)捕殺，自然將會(huì)繼續(xù)惡化。這為人類保護(hù)瀕危物種敲響了警鐘。

【1】考查代詞。句意：當(dāng)今之形勢(shì)不同于以往之形勢(shì)。結(jié)合句意和句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)用that代指上文的the situation，故填that。

【2】考查形容詞。此處應(yīng)用nature的形容詞修飾名詞causes，故填natural。

【3】考查副詞。此處應(yīng)用total的副詞修飾形容詞different，故填totally。

【4】考查時(shí)態(tài)和語態(tài)。此處是原因狀語從句的謂語動(dòng)詞，由前文的is判斷為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，主語species和kill之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，也可以用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，主語是復(fù)數(shù)，故填are (being) killed。

【5】考查冠詞。fittest為fit的最高級(jí)形式，前面須用定冠詞the，故填the。

【6】考查形容詞比較級(jí)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞作為get的表語，由better判斷用比較形式，故填worse。

【7】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處是非謂語動(dòng)詞作后置定語，species和disappear是邏輯上的主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞作后置定語，故填disappearing。

【8】考查介詞。句意：在人類之前，這些動(dòng)植物就在地球上生活很久了，我們無權(quán)殺掉他們。結(jié)合句意可知，此處考查介詞before“……之前”，故填before。

【9】考查短語。此處考查短語allow sth./sb. to do sth.“允許某人/某物做某事”，故填to die。

【10】考查代詞。句意：事實(shí)上，我們自身也變得岌岌可危。結(jié)合句意可知，此處用反身代詞ourselves，表示強(qiáng)調(diào)，故填ourselves。

第一小題考查that作為代詞的用法

that指代同類異物，一般用于前后進(jìn)行比較的句子中，如果比較的對(duì)象是可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式，就用those。

例如：

The water in the cup is hotter than that in the pot. 杯子里的水比罐子里的水熱。

The cars made in china are better than those made in japan.中國生產(chǎn)的車比日本生產(chǎn)的車好。
