【解析】

试题分析：动物们因为身上的皮毛和羽毛而被大量捕杀，已经有成千上万的动物灭绝，幸运的是，人们现在有了觉悟并且用行动来保护动物们。

【1】thousands 考查数词。从结构可知此处是“成千上万”，用短语thousands of，填thousands。

【2】are considered考查谓语动词。根据句意“仅在美国就有170中动物被认为灭绝”，可知是表示被动，用are considered。

【3】Because 考查连词。根据前一句设问“为什么人们应该关心？”，得知这里是在回答原因，填Because。

【4】 Destroying考查非谓语动词。此处是缺少主语，用动名词做主语，表示主动，位于句首首字母大写，用 Destroying。

【5】 by考查介词。农民们的谷物和玉米被老鼠和硕鼠破坏，表示被动用介词by。

【6】.quickly 考查副词。“繁殖迅速”，用副词修饰动词，填.quickly。

【7】to help考查动词不定式。人们行动为了帮助拯救动物们，用不定式表示目的，填to help。

【8】the考查冠词。特指上文提到的“这个问题”，故填the。

【9】countries考查名词。“许多国家通过了相关法律”，a few“许多”修饰名词复数形式，故填countries。

【10】is考查动词。主语是the number of，表示“.....数量”，谓语动词用单数，故填is。
