Question

【题目】

Many countries all over the world have National Parks. There are about 7, 000 National Parks around the world. Most of them protect natural environment as well as the plants and animals that live there, but a few are in towns and cities.

There are nine National Parks in England. The first t【1】were the Peak District, the Lake District and Dartmoor, which were all named as National Parks in 1951. Others followed afterwards, such as the North York Moors in 1952, the New Forest in 2005 and the South Downs in 2010.

Many National Parks around the world cover huge areas of land where n【2】lives, but in England most of the countryside within them is useful for farming and some activities. As a result, National Parks in England i【3】 places where people live and work, as well as wild and beautiful areas where there is little sign or human life.

There are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or cycle and many of the parks organize activities for families.

There are about 110,000,000 visitors to the parks every year. They bring many benefits to the areas but c【4】problems too. Many popular towns and villages can be crowded with visitors. This results in overcrowded car parks and roads choked with traffic. Life can be difficult for people who live there, as more and more gift shops and cafes are opened instead of those everyday shops; local people can h【5】afford to buy houses in popular places.

Another major problem is litter. In the parks it is especially d【6】to animals. Broken glass can also get other things, like leaves, on fire by focusing the rays of the sun. When they start in wild places, they are much harder to c【7】and can damage large areas very quickly.

All National Parks in England promote the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be protected and continue to give pleasure to many people for a long time.

【解析】

本文主要介绍英国国家公园，讲述了它的特色、地理位置、活动以及利弊，并呼吁大家遵守规则、保护自然环境。

【1】句意：首先三个是峰区国家公园、湖区国家公园和达特姆尔国家公园。
此句是主系表结构，根据were后面的the Peak District, the Lake District and Dartmoor 三个公园可知此处表示“三个”，用基数词three表示。故填three。

【2】句意：世界各地很多国家公园覆盖很大面积无人居住的土地，但是在英国大部分的土地都被用于耕种和一些活动。

but表示转折，but后句意为“但是在英国大部分的土地都被用于耕种和一些活动。”可知并没有很多地能用来建设国家公园。根据where people live and work 可知因此很多国家公园都被站在人们居住和工作的地方。因此可推断此处表示“无人居住的”。nobody表示“没有人”。故填nobody。

【3】句意：结果是英国的国家公园包括人们居住工作的地方，也包含野外漂亮的没有人类的地方。

根据places where people live and work, as well as wild and beautiful areas where there is little sign or human life.可知此空后包含两种情况，一种是人们居住工作的地方，另一种是野外漂亮的没有人类的地方。因此此空表示“包含”，用include表示。故填include。

【4】句意：他们会给这片区域带来好处但是也会引起问题。

but表示转折，根据前面“带来好处”可知此处表示“也会引起问题”。此空是谓语动词，表示“引起”。故填create/cause。

【5】句意：当地人们在这些流行的地方很难买得起房子。

此空是副词修饰动词afford。根据Life can be difficult for people who live there “在这里生活的人生活很困难”可推测此处表示“很难买的起房子。”hardly表示“几乎不”。故填hardly。

【6】句意：在公园里垃圾对动物来说特别危险。

此空是形容词作表语，构成主系表结构。根据Broken glass can also get other things, like leaves, on fire by focusing the rays of the sun.“破碎的玻璃可能会聚焦阳光导致着火。”可知这些垃圾对动物来说是危险的。dangerous表示“危险的”。故填dangerous。

【7】句意：当火在野外着起来时，很难控制，而且会迅速损害大片区域。

to后接动词原形，此处they指代上文中的“火”，根据首字母和句意可知“火很难控制”。control表示“控制”。故填control。
