down hot blind three fisherman

My favourite animal is the sea turtle. It is a great 85 and can travel a long way in the ocean. However, 86 life is getting harder. And many people are still in the ivory tower.
First, some people cut 87 trees near the beaches. This makes the sand too 88 for turtle eggs. Second, some people take the eggs for food. They turn a 89 eye to the rules that protect turtles. 90 , plastic in the ocean hurts sea turtles a lot. Turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish—their favourite food.
91 we can do things to help! We can plant more trees near beaches to 92 the sand cool for turtle eggs. We should tell others not to take turtle eggs or 93 plastic into the ocean. 94 can use special nets that let turtles escape. If everyone tries a little, sea turtles will live 95 and keep swimming pleasantly in the ocean.

【分析】
本题为短文填空题，解题思路如下：首先通读全文，明确短文围绕海龟的生存现状及保护措施展开；接着结合方框给出的词汇，根据每个空的语法结构（如名词、代词、动词、副词等）、固定搭配（如cut down、turn a blind eye to等）及语境含义，选择合适的词汇并变换为正确形式，同时注意每词限用一次、每空一词的要求。
【解析】
85. 空格前有不定冠词a和形容词great，需填名词，方框中swim的名词形式swimmer（游泳者），符合语境，故填swimmer。
86. 空格后是名词life，需填形容词性物主代词，指代海龟的生活，it的形容词性物主代词为its，故填its。
87. 固定搭配cut down意为“砍倒”，符合“砍倒海滩附近的树”的语境，故填down。
88. 砍树会导致沙子温度过高，hot（热的）符合“沙子太烫不适合海龟蛋”的语境，故填hot。
89. 固定搭配turn a blind eye to意为“对……视而不见”，符合“对保护海龟的规则视而不见”的语境，故填blind。
90. 前文用First、Second列举问题，此处表第三点，需用three的序数词third，且句首大写，故填Third。
91. 前文讲海龟面临的问题，后文讲我们可以帮忙，是转折关系，用But，句首大写，故填But。
92. 此处表“保持沙子凉爽”，to后接动词原形，keep（保持）符合固定搭配keep sth + adj的用法，故填keep。
93. 固定搭配throw…into意为“把……扔进”，should后接动词原形，故填throw。
94. 此处指“渔民”，fisherman的复数形式为fishermen，句首大写，符合语境，故填Fishermen。
95. 空格前是动词live，需用副词修饰，safe的副词形式为safely，故填safely。
【答案】
85. swimmer 86. its 87. down 88. hot 89. blind 90. Third 91. But 92. keep 93. throw 94. Fishermen 95. safely
