Are sharks dangerous or in danger?
Some people think sharks are 1. (scare) and dangerous. They don't love sharks in the way that they love penguins, pandas, elephants, and 2. (giraffe). But now sharks are in danger. Here 3. (be) the facts(事实).
There are 390 4. (kind) of sharks, but only 10% are dangerous.
Sharks are 5. (real) smart. They don't always kill people because they don't like the taste.

1. scary
2. giraffes
3. are
4. kinds
5. really
6. eat
7. their
8. Chinese
9. do
10. saving

我们逐个分析每个空的解题依据：
1. 空1：此处和并列的形容词dangerous共同作表语，需要把动词scare变为形容词scary，意为“吓人的”，用来描述鲨鱼的属性。
2. 空2：前面列举的penguins、pandas、elephants都是可数名词复数形式，giraffe也要对应变为复数giraffes，和前面的名词保持一致。
3. 空3：这是here be句型，be动词的形式由后面的主语the facts决定，facts是复数，且全文为一般现在时，所以be动词用are。
4. 空4：空前是数词390，大于1的数字后接可数名词复数，kind的复数形式是kinds，390 kinds of 表示“390种”。
5. 空5：此处需要修饰后面的形容词smart，要把形容词real变为副词really，意为“真正地”。
6. 空6：Every year是一般现在时的标志，主语sharks是复数，谓语动词用原形eat。
7. 空7：此处后面是名词fins，需要用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，人称代词they的形容词性物主代词是their。
8. 空8：此处后面是名词restaurants，需要用形容词修饰名词，名词China变为形容词Chinese，意为“中国的”。
9. 空9：这是固定搭配let's do sth.，意为“让我们做某事”，let's后接动词原形，所以填do。
10. 空10：固定搭配join sb. in doing sth. 意为“加入我们做某事”，介词in后面要接动名词形式，save的动名词是saving。
