【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，明确文章核心主题：本文围绕“保护老虎”展开，介绍了野生老虎的数量变化、生态价值、濒危原因以及人类采取的保护措施，最终呼吁大众共同守护老虎。解题时可以按照三个步骤推进：第一，先扫读全文获取整体语境，避免脱离文章主旨选答案；第二，逐空结合上下文的逻辑提示、词义辨析、固定搭配三个维度判断，尤其关注转折连词、前后呼应的细节信息；第三，所有选项初选完成后代入全文回读，验证整体逻辑是否通顺。比如第1空后文提到全球野生老虎的数量统计，就能对应是拯救世界范围内的老虎；第7空出现but连接两个形容词，说明前后语义形成反差，就能快速锁定符合“看似普通但效果好”含义的simple选项。
【解析】
1. 考查名词辨析。根据后文提及的全球野生老虎数量从10万降到数千的统计信息，可知志愿者的目标是拯救世界范围内的老虎。zoo动物园，world世界，country国家，village村庄，只有B符合语境。
2. 考查动词及时态辨析。前文提到20世纪初野生老虎约有10万只，转折词But提示现在数量大幅减少，强调从过去到现在的变化要用现在完成时。stays保持，grows增长，leads带领，has dropped下降，只有D符合语义和时态要求。
3. 考查固定短语。老虎处于食物链顶端，能调节其他物种的数量，帮助维持生态平衡，固定搭配keep...in balance表示“保持……的平衡”，order秩序，trouble麻烦，balance平衡，silence沉默，选C。
4. 考查动词辨析。根据后文“kill tigers for money（为了钱猎杀老虎）”的提示，可知此处指部分人捕猎老虎牟利。hide隐藏，hunt捕猎，shake摇晃，fight打架，选B。
5. 考查名词辨析。前文提到人类大量砍伐树木，树木被砍伐后森林就会消失，老虎也随之失去家园。laws法律，groups群体，forests森林，volunteers志愿者，选C。
6. 考查代词辨析。句意：野生老虎数量快速下降，我们必须为此做些事。本句是肯定句，something用于肯定句表示“一些事”，nothing没有事，anything任何事（多用于否定/疑问句），everything所有事，选C。
7. 考查形容词辨析。句中but表转折，说明所选词和useful（有用的）形成语义反差，指保护措施虽然简单但实用性很强。simple简单的，popular受欢迎的，important重要的，meaningful有意义的，选A。
8. 考查动词短语辨析。后文提到用来保护老虎家园的特殊区域，可知此处是“建立”这类保护区。set up建立，put up张贴/举起，make up编造/组成，clean up清理，选A。
9. 考查疑问词辨析。学校和媒体向大众科普老虎的生态价值，是为了解释老虎很重要的原因，告诉人们为什么要保护老虎。how如何，why为什么，when何时，what什么，选B。
10. 考查动词短语辨析。此处和“遵守法律、保护它们的家园”并列，都是保护老虎的实际行动，care about表示“关心”，符合行动逻辑。talk about谈论，hear about听说，care about关心，worry about担心，选C。
