Question

【題目】語法填空。
Today we can see that many people are cutting down the trees in the forests. A lot of rich land has become deserts. If we （read）newspapers, we'll learn that the forests on the earth are getting smaller and smaller all the time. We are (cut) down large numbers of trees because we need wood and farmland. In many (place), the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Some scientists say that there will not be any great forests in 20 or 30 years.
It's our duty (protect) the forests well. Everyone should try his best to make a contribution to (take) care of the forests.

Answer 1

【答案】read；cutting；places；to protect；taking
【解析】①句意：如果我們閱讀報紙，我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)地球上的森林變得越來越小。if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)表將來，所以答案是read。
②句意：我們砍伐了大量的樹木，因為我們需要木材和農(nóng)田。be動詞后跟動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞，用于現(xiàn)在進行時態(tài)，表示現(xiàn)階段一直在從事的行為動作。所以答案是cutting。
③句意：在許多地方，新的農(nóng)田將很快看起來像舊的沙漠。many后跟復(fù)數(shù)名詞，所以答案是places。
④句意：保護好森林是我們的職責(zé)。It's one's duty to do sth. 做某事是某人的責(zé)任。所以答案是to protect。
⑤句意：每個人都應(yīng)該盡力為照顧森林做出貢獻。make a contribution to doing sth. 為……做出貢獻。to為介詞，所以答案是taking。
本題考查語法填空，要通讀全文，根據(jù)上下文推斷缺少什么單詞，另外要注意時態(tài)和人稱需保持一致。
