题目内容
12.阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.In 1990,over 100countries signed(61)aninternational 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)that from 1979to 1989the number of elephants in African fell from 1.3million to 600,000.It was feared that by the year 2000there would be none(64)left (leave).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.
Zimbabwe and four other African countries say that some of the elephants should be killed legally.This would help keep the population(68)stable (stability),and selling the ivory would help pay for preserving the elephants.But conservationists say that(69)making (make) ivory legal to sell would
lead to even more illegal hunting.Others say(70)what is wrong is to kill elephants because they are sensitive animals who feel emotional pain at the death of other elephants.
分析 本文主要讲述一项国际协议被签署,禁止非法买卖象牙,严禁猎杀大象.
解答 61.an 考查冠词.agreement是可数名词,单数形式前加不定冠词,因international的读音是以发元音开头的,要用不定冠词an.
62.terribly 考查副词.valuable是形容词,要用副词修饰,形容词terrible的副词是terribly.
63.that 考查固定搭配.so…that…意为"如此/这么…以致于…",句型中的so是副词,常常用来修饰形容词或副词,常用句型为:主语+谓语+so+adj./adv.+that从句.
64.left 考查过去分词. none与leave之间是动宾关系,用过去分词作none的定语.
65.has been 考查动词时态.根据since 1990自从---以来,可知用现在完成时态,句子主语illegal hunting是单数形式,助动词用has,故填has been.
66.varieties 考查固定搭配.a variety of/varieties of意为"各种各样的",动词vary的名词是variety,根据句子结构,填varieties.
67.be paid 考查动词语态.根据句意:农民一定要得到补偿.根据句意可知用含情态动词的被动语态,故填be paid.
68.stable 考查形容词.根据句意:保持大象数量的稳定.此处是形容词作宾语补足语.
69.making 考查动名词.分析句子结构,句中缺少主语,此处是动名词做主语,故填making.
70.what 考查连词.此处是what引导的主语从句,在从句中作主语.
