Question

【题目】C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.

I recently took part in a very exciting five-week trip for teenagers, to volunteer at an international wildlife study centre, off the coast of a country far from where I live. The a【1】 of the center was to help protect wildlife. So the project I signed up for included attending classes about wildlife, and going on daily dives under water to collect important information for the scientists back at the centre.

We were w【2】 by staff about our accommodation（食宿）before we arrived at the center. Sure enough, when we got there, we were shown to some small wooden huts where we would live. They were quite b【3】: no indoor washroom and no fridge, so our meals were all vegetarian. However, I hadn’t eaten meat for years, so it was perfect for me.

The day after our arrival, we started our t【4】-learning the names of all the different fish, and how to count and describe them in a way that would be useful to the scientists. We also learnt about a very important underwater creature called coral. However, this creature is now in danger because of problems such as global warming. So a【5】 we did very little work involving the coral itself, we really felt our work in helping local sea creatures was essential.

Every day at the study centre was amazing, but there was one in particular when I was under the water as usual, with my ‘diving buddy’，collecting data on the fish in the area. I s【6】 looked up-and found myself face to face with two absolutely beautiful fish. My partner and I decided to spend our last few minutes under the water with these amazing creatures. As we got nearer to the fish, they didn’t seem at all w【7】 about us, and just watched us in an interesting way, before swimming off towards the coral reef. Unforgettable!

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述我加入了为期五周的志愿者活动。包括我们的食宿、训练的内容以及我们在研究中心令人惊异的发现。

【1】句意“中心的主要目标是帮助保护野生动物”。根据to help protect wildlife可知，表示“目的”。aim目的，且根据句意可知，用单数，故填aim。

【2】句意“在我们到达中心之前，我们被员工提醒关于我们的食宿。”。根据句意可知，译为“警告，提醒”。warn警告，提醒。主语为we与谓语warn之间为被动be done，故填warned。

【3】句意“他们十分的基础：没有室内卫生间”。根据no indoor washroom and no fridge可知，表示“十分地基础”。basic基础的，故填basic。
