1.for考查介詞。beintendedfor意為"為……而設(shè)計的"，為固

定搭配。故填for。

2.where考查定語從句。空處指代先行詞places并在從句中作地

點狀語，故填

whereo

3.a考查不定冠詞。此處第一次提及"naturalhabitat",所以是泛

指，且的發(fā)音以輔音音素開頭,故填

naturalao

4.visitors考查名詞。此處應(yīng)用名詞visitor作動詞show的賓語，

游客有很多，所以應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填visitors..

5.fastest考查副詞最高級。在oneof后的可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)常用最高

級修飾，表示"最……的……之一"。故填

fastesto

考查副詞。修飾動詞應(yīng)用副詞。故填

6.graduallyrealizinggraduallyo

7.togain考查非謂語動詞。利用生態(tài)旅游是為了獲取利潤,此處應(yīng)

用不定式作目的狀語。故填t。gain。

8.isoperated考查時態(tài)、語態(tài)和主謂一致。根據(jù)"whoareonly

interestedin"可知，此處應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時。動
