Question

【题目】短文填空
Each year (thousand) of tourists visit the polar regions of the Arctic and Antarctica. But the increasing number of people traveling to the ends of the Earth can have negative effect on fragile ecosystems. Should tourists (allow) to visit polar regions?
About 40,000 tourists visit Antarctica each year. More than five million travel to the Arctic and sub-Arctic. Transporting tourists to the regions (increase) ship and airplane traffic, adding to the risk of pollution, oil spills, and other (environment) damage. Because the places where wildlife is accessible (be) few in number, tourist traffic can become concentrated in specific areas, (put)Arctic vegetation at risk.
Others say that access these very special parts of the world should not be restricted to only researchers and scientists. Polar tourism allows people to develop deep （person） connections with polar regions. “Those travel to the Arctic or Antarctica often become cheerleaders for supporting those places.” Jim Sano, vice president for travel and conservation at World Wildlife Fund, told TFK.

Answer 1

【答案】thousands；a；be allowed；increases；environmental；are；putting；to；personal；who
【解析】本文为介绍说明文。文章介绍了每年有成千上万的游客前往北极和南极地区，人们对此所持有的不同观点。

①考查数词用法。固定词组：thousands of“成千上万的”。句意：每年有成千上万的游客前往北极和南极地区。故填thousands。

②考查冠词。固定词组：have an effect on“对……有影响”，因为negative是辅音音素开头的词，应使用不定冠词a。故填 a。

③考查被动语态。句意：游客们应该被允许参观极地地区吗？根据句意，此处应使用被动语态。故填be allowed。

④考查主谓一致。句意：运送游客到该地区增加了船只和飞机的交通，增加了污染、漏油和其他……的风险。此处描述的是客观事实，应使用一般现在时，主语为动名词词组Transporting tourists to the regions，谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故填increases。

⑤考查词性转化。此处修饰damage，应使用形容词，意为“环境方面的破坏”。故填environmental。

⑥考查主谓一致。此处描述的是客观事实，应使用一般现在时，主语为the places，句子，谓语动词应使用复数形式。故填are。

⑦考查非谓语动词。此处与主语tourist traffic 构成逻辑主动关系，应使用现在分词。故填putting。

⑧考查介词搭配。access to“……的权限”为固定搭配。故填to。

⑨考查词性转化。此处修饰connections，作定语，应使用形容词形式，意为“私人关系”。故填personal。

⑩考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，先行词是those（那些人），连词在从句中作主语。故填who。
