分析 本文讲述了动物因它们的皮毛和羽毛被杀,成千上万种动物都已经从世界上永远消失了.在美国,大约有170种动物被认为是濒危动物. 人们为什么关心(这个问题)?因为我们需要动物,它们一旦消失,就将永远不再出现.每一种动物在自然界的平衡中都有其特定的位置.毁灭一种动物可能会造成许多问题.比如,当农民们大量捕杀老鹰后,它们的谷物商店就会被老鼠毁掉.没有老鹰来控制老鼠的数量,它们就会迅速繁殖.
幸运的是,一些人正在努力帮助拯救这些动物.一些组织也在筹钱让人们了解这个问题.他们尝试着让政府立法来保护濒危动物.许多国家已经建立了相关的法律.这些法律禁止猎杀濒危名单上的任何动物.慢慢地,一些濒危动物的数量正在回升.
解答 61.thousands 考查名词单复数.根据空格后的"___ of kinds of animals",考查固定词组"thousands of",意为"成千上万的".
62.are considered 考查动词的时态语态.主语"about 170 kinds",大约170种(动物),与动词"consider(认为)"之间为被动关系,大约170种被认为是濒危动物,用被动语态,即be+动词的过去分词.又因主语为复数,前文的"have been killed"表明时态为现在时,故be动词用are,填are considered.
63.Because 考查连词.纯空格题考虑代词、介词、冠词、连词.此空根据前文的"why should people care",考虑用because回答原因.
64.Destroying 考查非谓语.此题主语为"___ one kind of animal",谓语为"can create",所给动词"destroy(毁灭)"与其后"one kind of animal"之间为动宾关系,用doing形式作主语.
65.by 考查介词.纯空格题考虑冠词、代词、介词和连词.根据"the farmers'stores of corn and grain were destroyed ___rats and mice",农民的商店被老鼠毁掉,用介词by表示"被…".
66.quickly 考查副词. 空格前"multiplied(繁殖)"为此句话的谓语动词,quick为形容词,意为"快速的",用副词修饰动词,故quick变为它的副词形式quickly.
67.to help 考查动词不定式."some people"为主语,"are working"为谓语,再根据句意"许多人正在工作,为了帮助挽救动物",用to do形式作目的状语.
68.the 考查冠词.纯空格题考虑代词、冠词、介词、连词.此空后"problem(问题)"为名词,名词前优先考虑冠词,根据句意"一些组织筹钱帮助人们了解这个问题(动物濒危)",此处特指前文提到的"保护濒危动物"这个问题,特指用定冠词the.
69.countries 考查名词复数.根据空格前"a few(一些)"及空格后的"have"可知,此空应为复数形式,country的复数countries.
70.is 考查主谓一致.此题主语为"the number of some animals(动物的数量)",由the number of修饰的名词作主语,谓语要用单数,表示"…的数量".
点评 考生在对题目进行作答之前,要先对题干进行详细阅读,检查题目中是否有提示词语存在;而后判断出所填词语在句子中所充当的句子成分,例如,主语、谓语等;最后根据其所充当的句子成分,加之其所处句子的语态等,选择词语的正确形式,例如,动词的现在分词或者过去分词,或者形容词的比较或者最高级的使用等.
在句子中没有提示词或者标志词存在时,考生要根据句子中所填词语的位置,判断所填词语的词性,例如,连接词、定冠词或者不定冠词、代词或者介词等.定冠词以及不定冠词的位置通常在名词之前,起到对名词进行限制的作用.而代词则分为形容词性物主代词、名词性代词、指示代词和不定代词等.在运用介词的时候,往往考查介词的固定搭配,其中包括动词、形容词等与介词的搭配.
