【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一只狐狸在76天里，从挪威到加拿大行进将近2200英里的故事。

【1】

考查时态语态。分析句子可知，此处是主句谓语动词，由下文的wanted判断为一般过去时，主语the fox和equip之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是单数，故填was equipped。

【2】

考查固定短语。此处考查短语want to do sth.“想要做某事”，故填to survey。

【3】

考查冠词。分析句子可知，此处作为Spitsbergen的同位语，意为“Spitsbergen，挪威北部的一个岛屿”是泛指，应用不定冠词，又island是元音音素开头，故填an。

【4】

考查介词。此处是固定搭配at the rate of…“以……的速度”，故填at。

【5】

考查状语从句的省略。分析句子可知，此处考查状语从句的省略，原句为At its fastest, it traveled nearly 100 miles in a single day while it was crossing Greenland。主从句主语都为it，且从句中有was，所以省略了it was，用crossing，故填crossing。

【6】

考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处是非谓语动词作后置定语，逻辑主语rate和document之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，故填documented。

【7】

考查名词的数。among…通常表达 “在众多的……之中”，其后常跟复数名词，故填events。

【8】

考查并列连词。句意：这是科学家记录的最长的旅途，但是它同时也提出了气候对海洋冰川和在北极航行的动物的影响问题。根据句意可知，上下文是转折关系，故填but。

【9】

考查定语从句。分析句子可知，此处是定语从句关系词，先行词effects在从句中充当have的宾语，应用关系代词，故填that/which。

【10】

考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词face，故填currently。
