【分析】
做这类选词填空的解题思路是：第一步先通读全文，明确文章主题是介绍黄河的地位、历史问题和治理方向，同时先梳理方框内所有词汇的词义、词性和常见搭配；第二步逐空分析上下文的语义逻辑、语法要求，先判断空格所需的词性，再匹配对应词汇，注意变形和格式细节；第三步填完后通读全文验证逻辑是否通顺，排查错误。比如遇到固定搭配结构可以优先匹配，转折、目的这类逻辑关系可以通过前后句语义快速判断。
【解析】
34. 句意：中国人一直把黄河视作“母亲河”，固定搭配consider...as...表示“把……看作……”，主语Chinese people为复数，时态为一般现在时，直接填动词原形consider。
35. 句意：黄河对中华民族有着重大意义，固定结构be of great + 名词等价于be very + 形容词，此处需要名词，填importance，be of great importance意为“极为重要”。
36. 前文介绍黄河是中华文明的发源地、地位极高，后文提到它历史上多次泛滥造成伤亡和损失，前后是转折关系，空格后有逗号隔开，句首首字母大写，填However。
37. 句意：为了管控洪水，中国政府修建了大量水坝，空格后接动词原形表动作目的，句首首字母大写，填In order to。
38. 句意：政府沿着河流修建了很多水坝，介词along表示“沿着、顺着”，along the river即“沿河”，符合语义，填along。
39. 句意：通过齐心协力，我们相信黄河未来会变得更好，固定搭配work together表示“共同合作、齐心协力”，填together。
【答案】
34. consider 35. importance 36. However 37. In order to 38. along 39. together
