【解析】

这是一篇新闻报道。因为新型冠状病毒，第三十二届东京奥运会将会推迟至2021年；日本因此损失较大，尤其是旅游业损失颇大。

【1】

根据英文释义to make sth happen, lead to可知，这个动词的意思是“使发生，导致”，再结合首字母c提示可知，这里填cause（在最后一段第一句话中），故填cause。

【2】

根据英文释义a person traveling for pleasure可知，这个名词的意思是“旅游者，观光者”，再结合首字母t提示可知，这里用名词tourist（在最后一段最后一句话中），故填tourist。

【3】

原句意：然而，由于新型冠状病毒，它改至明年7月23日开始。根据句意，改写的句子空格处缺少“由于、因为”表原因的介词短语，初中英语教材中学过because of，故填 because of。

【4】

根据第二段中“…the 32nd Olympic Games in Tokyo, the first city in Asia to hold the Games…”可知东京是第一个举办奥运会的亚洲城市，故答案填Yes, it is。

【5】

根据第二段第一句“Its mascot (吉祥物) called Miraitowa is a blue robot full of sense of future.”可知东京奥运会的吉祥物是一个蓝色的机器人，故答案填Blue或者It is blue。

【6】

根据最后一段中“There are 7,800,000 tickets for the Olympics, many of which have all ready been sold.”可知东京奥运会有780万张票，故答案填7. 8 million。
