【解析】这是一封书信,来自中国重庆的一名中学生写信给WWF,他呼吁WWF关注频危的江豚。
【1】此处finless porpoises和affect之间是被动关系,是过去分词作原因状语,故答案为affected。
【2】固定词组:in danger of处于……危险之中,故答案为in。
【3】固定结构:to one’s +名词,这里表示“使我们失望的是”,故答案为disappointment。
【4】副词修饰动词,答案为sincerely。
【5】此处information是先行词,指物,在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语,答案为which。
【6】固定词组:as a result结果,答案为a。
【7】尽管这任务具有挑战性,但迟早有一天我们会成功的。此处用as/though引导让步状语从句,从句用部分倒装,故填as/though。
【8】尽管这任务具有挑战性,但迟早有一天我们会成功的。根据句意可知用一般将来时态,答案为will succeed。
【9】固定句式:I would appreciate it if---,此处用it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是if引导的从句。
【10】我们正期盼着早日收到你的回答。用现在进行时态,书信的最后一句,常用格式,省略句,答案为Looking。
