题目内容
3.In 1990,over 100 countries signed (061)an international agreement to make it illegal to buy or sell ivory,which is mainly used for jewelry.Most ivory is made from the tusks(象牙) of African elephants.These tusks are (62)terribly(terrible) valuable-one pair is worth more than three times the income of an African farmer or factory worker in a year.Hunting elephants was so profitable (63)thatfrom 1979 to 1989 the number of elephants in Africa(64)fell(fall) from 1.3million to 600,000.However,thanks to the international agreement,there (65)has been(be) much less illegal hunting since 1990.
But considering(66)varieties(vary) of aspects,it costs a lot of money to preserve elephants.Game wardens (狩猎监督员) must be hired to protect them,land must be set aside for them,and when they destroy a farmer's crops,the farmer must(67)be paid(pay) compensation(赔偿).
Zimbabwe and four other African countries say that some of the elephants should be killed legally.This will help keep the population stable,and selling the ivory will help pay for preserving the elephants.(68)But conservationists say that making ivory legal to sell would lead to even more illegal hunting.Others say(69)itis wrong is to kill elephants because they are sensitive animals who feel emotional pain at the death of other elephants.Anyway,people should take immediate and constant measures(70)to protect(protect) elephants.
分析 1990年,100多个国家签订了保护大象的协议,因为目前大象正遭到捕杀,数量日益减少,并呼吁立即采取措施.
解答 61.an 考查冠词.该句的中心词为agreement,意思是协议,为可数名词,an international agreement 一份国际协议.
62.terribly考查副词.此处修饰valuable,宝贵的,需用副词形式,terribly valuable为极其珍贵.
63.that 考查连接词.根据句意可知,so…that…为固定短语,意思是如此…以至于.
64.fell 考查动词. 根据句意可知,叙述的是from 1979 to 1989,所以句子时态需用一般过去时,即fell.
65.has been 考查时态.句子里时间状语 since 1990,暗示句子时态为现在完成时,即there be 的现在完成时为has been.
66.varieties 考查名词.consider为动词,考虑的意思,后需用名词来做宾语,varieties of 为各种各样的.
67.be paid考查被动语态. 分析意思可知,the farmer 和pay之间是被动关系,即大象破坏庄家,农民受到赔偿.
68.But 考查连接词.根据上下文语境可知,此处表示转折的意思,故填but.
69.it 考查代词.分析句式可知,此处是固定句型,即It is+形容词+to do sth,it是形式主语,动词不定式是真正的主语.
70.to protect考查动词不定式.句意为为了保护大象,应该立即采取措施,此处to protect表示目的.
