五、(2023·南京市江宁区六校联考)完形填空。
Red squirrels were common(常见的$) in British forests and countryside. But there are fewer than 140,000 red squirrels \underline{1} now. However, grey squirrels are now so common that many people \underline{2} them. They can hunt and kill them legally($合法地).
$The two types of squirrels look similar. They both have a long \underline{3}, which helps them jump from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs. \underline{4}, the grey squirrel has a clear advantage($优势$). The red squirrel has a head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm and a tail length of 15 to 20 cm. But the grey squirrel is a \underline{5} animal. The head-and-body length is between 23 and 30 cm. This size may let them store more fat and \underline{6} them to live through a hard winter.$
$So \underline{7} is the number of red squirrels smaller than that of grey squirrels? Size is one reason. Red squirrels live high up in \underline{8}, while grey squirrels spend more of their time on the ground. This means the missing of forests greatly influences($影响$) the red squirrel's population. Another reason is the grey squirrel's \underline{9} to get food easily from people. Like the fox, the grey squirrel \underline{10} live in towns and cities. Another problem for red squirrels is illness, which is fatal to them.$
