A century before, a bird called the passenger pigeon lived in North America. There were so many passenger pigeons when people often saw thousands, even millions of birds flying overhead. Therefore, there is not a single one left today. What happened? How did all passenger pigeons disappear from the earth entire?

The passenger pigeons become extinct for two reason. First, the forests that it lived was cut down to make way with farms and cities. Second, many pigeons were shot and eaten because they were good to eat. At that time, there were no hunting laws protect endangered species as they are now.

Answer 1

【答案】1. before→ago；2. when→that；3. Therefore→However；4. entire→entirely；5. become→became；6. reason→reasons；7. that→where；8. was→were；9. with→for；10. protect前面加to

【解析】第一處：考查副詞。ago，before這兩個詞都可表示“在若干時間以前”，但ago所指的時間是從現(xiàn)在算起。before所指的時間是從過去某一時刻算起。由語境可知，該文中指的“一個世紀前”，是從現(xiàn)在算起，故應將before改為ago。

第二處：考查固定句式。so…that…意為“如此……以至于……”，是固定句式。句意：有如此多的旅鴿以至于人們經(jīng)�？吹綌�(shù)千只旅鴿從頭頂飛過。

第三處：考查副詞。上文提到一個世紀前，旅鴿數(shù)量眾多，下文提到現(xiàn)在一只旅鴿也沒有了，上下文之間是轉折關系，故應將Therefore改為However。

第四處：考查副詞。修飾動詞disappear用副詞entirely。

第五處：考查時態(tài)。由第一段可知，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)沒有旅鴿了，由此可知，旅鴿“become extinct”是過去的事情，因此，該句要用一般過去時態(tài)。

第六處：考查名詞。reason是可數(shù)名詞，前面有two修飾，故要用名詞復數(shù)形式。

第七處：考查定語從句�！�the forests that it lived was cut down”里面包含一個定語從句，修飾the forests，關系詞在從句中應該作地點狀語，故該從句要用where引導。

第八處：考查介詞。make way for意為“為……騰地方”，是固定短語，故應將with改為for。

第九處：考查主謂一致。該句主語為名詞復數(shù)the forests，根據(jù)主謂一致原則，應將was改為were。

第十處：考查非謂語動詞。to protect endangered species是定語，修飾hunting laws。
