we in so zoo with more tooth live though different wonderful difficult
Recently I had a trip to Sydney with my parents. We visited the Wildlife Park.
The Wildlife Park has 36 kinds of animals. Some are only from Australia. There are 37 than 500 animals there, including koalas and crocodiles(鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a 38. That's because in zoos, most of the animals are in cages(笼子).
We first spent some time 39 the koalas. We could touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. They looked very lovely. 40 we couldn't carry koalas, I could take a photo with one. It is a 41 gift for my holiday in Sydney.
Lots of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles were 42 in the Wildlife Park. Some of them were very big and scary with huge 43! So I did not want to get too close to them.
There was also a bird show. The keepers showed 44 many kinds of birds. I saw an old parrot. It was 45 clever that it could "talk".
I enjoyed the trip very much. There was so much to see.

【分析】
先通读全文把握文章大意，再结合每个空格的语法结构（如词性、时态、固定搭配），从方框内选词并调整形式（如名词复数、现在分词、代词宾格），注意每词仅用一次，排除多余项。具体分析各空：36空需形容词修饰名词kinds；37空有比较级标志词than需用比较级；38空需与野生公园形成对比；39空用固定搭配；40空需引导让步状语从句；41空需形容词修饰名词gift；42空需用过去进行时结构；43空需用名词复数；44空需用代词宾格；45空需用固定结构so...that。
【解析】
1. 36空：空格后为名词kinds，需形容词修饰，方框中different构成固定搭配different kinds of（不同种类的），符合语境，故填different。
2. 37空：空格后有比较级标志词than，需用比较级，方框中more构成more than（超过），符合“500多只动物”的语义，故填more。
3. 38空：前文提到喜欢野生公园，后文指出动物园的动物在笼子里，此处为两者对比，方框中zoo（动物园）符合，故填zoo。
4. 39空：固定搭配spend time with sb（与某人共度时光），方框中with符合，故填with。
5. 40空：空格后为让步状语从句，表转折关系，方框中Though（虽然）引导让步状语从句，符合“不能抱考拉但能拍照”的语境，故填Though。
6. 41空：空格修饰名词gift，需形容词，方框中wonderful（精彩的）符合“悉尼之旅的礼物”的描述，故填wonderful。
7. 42空：句子为过去进行时（were + 现在分词），方框中live的现在分词living表示“生活着的”，符合“公园里有很多鳄鱼”的语境，故填living。
8. 43空：空格前为形容词huge，指鳄鱼的牙齿，tooth的复数形式为teeth，故填teeth。
9. 44空：动词showed后需接宾格代词，方框中we的宾格us符合，故填us。
10. 45空：固定搭配so...that...（如此……以至于……），方框中so符合“鹦鹉如此聪明会说话”的语义，故填so。

五、读写综合
A. 回答问题
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答五个问题，要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。
Last year I did not know where to go during the summer vacation. I did not have much money, so I could not do anything that cost a lot. Time passed and I still didn’t think of anything interesting to do, so when the day finally came, I got my backpack(背包) and started the trip of my life.
I went backpacking through Panama, the US and Canada. The only thing I didn’t think about before the trip was where I would stay, but it was too late for that. I found a phone app and when I arrived anywhere, I would just have more than a place to stay.
This app helped me a lot. For free, I got to see some interesting places. I visited the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Central Park in New York, the Space Needle in Seattle and so many other places. I crossed Canada and the US by bus and train.
During my trip I stayed in local people’s houses for nights. I made a lot of good friends. I know that this act was not easy, but I should say it gave me a lot of fun.
