Day 4

This morning, Dad and I went snorkelling(浮潜) for the third time in the sea. It has been 42 every time! We've seen lots of different fish and we've seen two turtles since Tuesday! My mum says we are lucky because the number of turtles is greatly dropping in this part of Australia. She's working hard to 43 why turtles and fish are dying(死亡). My mum also collects bits of rubbish from the beach and sea.

【分析】
本题为根据短文语境及语法知识完成填空，需结合上下文逻辑、时态规则及固定搭配确定每个空的正确词汇：
1. 第39空：后文转折说明“我很害怕”，推测此处问“你觉得我放松吗？”，需填与“害怕”相反的形容词；
2. 第40空：前文提到“露营”，结合“从达尔文出发”的语境，此处应填表示露营地点的名词；
3. 第41空：句中时间状语为“tomorrow”，需用现在进行时表将来，填表示“去某地旅行”的动词现在分词；
4. 第42空：后文提到浮潜看到很多鱼和海龟，推测每次浮潜体验很棒，需填形容词；
5. 第43空：结合语境“妈妈努力查明海龟和鱼死亡的原因”，需填表示“查明”的固定短语。
【解析】
1. 第39空：根据后文“No! I'm very scared now”，此处应填形容词relaxed，构成“be relaxed”表示“放松的”，符合语境；
2. 第40空：前文提到“camping”，“campsite”意为“营地”，符合“在营地待了三小时”的语境；
3. 第41空：句中时间状语是tomorrow，用现在进行时（be + doing）表将来，“travel to the beach”表示“去海滩旅行”，故填travelling；
4. 第42空：根据后文浮潜的美好体验，填形容词fantastic表示“很棒的”；
5. 第43空：固定短语“find out”意为“查明，找出”，符合“查明海龟和鱼死亡原因”的语境。

49. stars 50. What 51. ours 52. planets 53. someone

【分析】首先通读短文理解大意：一对夫妇去山里露营，半夜发现帐篷被偷。解题时需结合上下文语境，运用语法知识（时态、词性、固定搭配、代词用法等）逐个分析设空：1. 44题所在宾语从句主句为过去式，从句需用过去将来时，故将will变为would；2. 45题考查固定搭配put up（搭建）；3. 46题是并列谓语，与went、cooked时态一致，用过去式；4. 47题考查固定搭配in the middle of；5. 48题修饰动词短语需用副词；6. 49题millions of后接名词复数；7. 50题是特殊疑问句，询问含义用疑问词What；8. 51题指代“我们的星球”用名词性物主代词；9. 52题one of后接名词复数；10. 53题肯定句中表“某人”用someone。
【解析】
44. 主句为一般过去时，宾语从句需用过去将来时，will的过去式为would，故填would；
45. 固定搭配put up意为“搭建”，符合搭建帐篷的语境，故填up；
46. 此处与went、cooked为并列谓语，时态需一致，用一般过去时，make的过去式为made，故填made；
47. 固定搭配in the middle of意为“在……中间”，符合语境，故填of；
48. 此处修饰动词短语look up，需用副词，careful的副词形式为carefully，故填carefully；
49. millions of后接可数名词复数，star的复数为stars，故填stars；
50. 此处为特殊疑问句，询问“那对你意味着什么”，需用疑问词What，故填What；
51. 此处指代“我们的星球”，需用名词性物主代词ours，相当于our planet，故填ours；
52. one of后接可数名词复数，表示“……之一”，planet的复数为planets，故填planets；
53. 此处为肯定句，表示“某人”，anyone多用于否定/疑问句，需用someone，故填someone。
【答案】would, up, made, of, carefully, stars, What, ours, planets, someone
