解析:
【分析】
本题为英语词汇运用题,需结合句子结构、语境、语法规则(如最高级、时态、固定搭配、非谓语动词等),对括号内单词进行形式转换。解题时先通读全文把握大意,再逐个分析空格处所需词性、搭配及时态等,确定单词的正确形式。
【解析】
1. 句意:它是中国第四大淡水湖。“the + 序数词 + 形容词最高级”表示“第几最……”,large的最高级为largest,故填largest。
2. 句意:随着时间的推移,小湖最终变成了洪泽湖。as time went by是固定短语“随着时间的流逝”,此处用go的过去式went,故填went。
3. 句意:洪泽湖有很多种鱼。many后接可数名词复数,kind的复数为kinds,many kinds of是固定搭配“很多种”,故填kinds。
4. 句意:洪泽湖也因它的植物而闻名。此处需形容词性物主代词修饰名词plants,it的形容词性物主代词为its,故填its。
5. 句意:芦苇几乎覆盖了整个湖。主语reeds为复数,一般现在时中谓语动词用原形cover,故填cover。
6. 句意:大面积的芦苇甚至可能阻止船只通过。prevent sb/sth from doing sth是固定搭配,get的动名词形式为getting,故填getting。
7. 句意:它最初建于1985年7月1日。此处需副词修饰动词built,one的副词形式为first(意为“最初”),故填first。
8. 句意:这里有天鹅、鹤和其他珍稀保护鸟类。there be句型遵循就近原则,后面主语为复数,be动词用are,故填are。
9. 句意:它为这些鸟提供居住的地方。place to do sth是固定用法,不定式作后置定语,故填to live。
10. 句意:每年很多游客来这里看这些鸟。a lot of后接可数名词复数,tour的名词形式为tourist,复数为tourists,故填tourists。
【答案】1. largest 2. went 3. kinds 4. its 5. cover 6. getting 7. first 8. are 9. to live 10. tourists
