Answer 1

【答案】

【1】animals

【2】to

【3】affected

【4】protecting

【5】it

【6】a

【7】better

【8】that/which

【9】be employed

【10】Although/ Though/While

【解析】试题分析：作者呼吁大家行动起来保护濒危动物。

【1】animals 考查名词。句意：江豚是这些濒临灭绝的动物的一种。根据上句很多动物在地球的漫长历史中已经灭绝，可推断这里江豚是濒临灭绝的动物的一种。故用animals。

【2】to 考查固定搭配：pay attention to 注意，关注；句意：作为一名学生，我想让你们关注江豚的处境。故此空填to。

【3】affected 考查动词。句意：人类活动对他们有严重的影响。主语they和动词affect是被动关系，故用被动语态，所以用affected正确。

【4】protecting 考查动词。句意：我们真诚的希望WWF能在保护这种濒临灭绝的物种方面起到作用。介词in后应该用动名词，故protecting。

【5】it考查形式宾语 句意：我们发信啊获得赞助很重要。这里用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式to get sponsorship。

【6】a 考察冠词 a certain number of 一定量的。

【7】better 考查比较级 句意：那样的话，我们就能比以前更好的照顾它们了。根据后面的than before可知这里应该用比较级，故better。

【8】that/which考查定语从句。句意：奖金应该给能很好的保护它们的组织。这里用关系代词that或which指代先行词 the organizations，在定语从句中做主语，故填that/which

【9】be employed 考查动词。should be employed应该被雇用。句意:应该雇用更多的工人来帮助我们。故此空填be employed。

【10】Although/ Though/While 考查连词。句意:尽管这个任务具有挑战性，但是我们相信我们迟早会成功的。根据句子间的关系可知，此处可以用Although， Though或While表示“尽管”。
