本文是说明文。讲述了自然资源不是取之不竭,用之不尽的东西,每个人都应该做出贡献保护自然资源。
【1题详解】
考查连词。句意:自然资源是自然界中存在的,可以被人使用的东西。分析句子可知,
空格引导定语从句用来修饰things。things是物,从句中作主语,用关系代词which和that均可,故填which/that。
【2题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,其他的就不可再生,就像从地上挖出来的煤炭一样。前文说到“Some natural resources are renewable, like trees.”,而本句“Others,……, are not renewable, like the coal dug out of the ground. ”句子结构完整,和上文构成转折关系,应填表示“然而”的单词。本空又有逗号隔开,故填however。
【3题详解】

代。故填it。
【10题详解】
考查动词。句意:我们可以做出明智的选择来节约用水,比如重新利用已经用来洗蔬菜水的花朵。wise是形容词,睿智的,修饰名词,作宾语,所以本空应填名词,且根据句意,用复数,故填choices。

【2题详解】
考查现在分词/动词不定式。句意:如果一个遗址被列入世界遗产名录,它会影响到一个国家的游客访问量,因为这个遗址可以成为一个巨大的旅游景点。本句已有谓语affects且无连词,其它动词用非谓语形式,名词tourists和动词visit是逻辑上的主谓关系,用现在分词(doing)表主动,作名词tourists的后置定语;或此空表将来,用动词不定式(to do)作名词tourists的后置定语,意为“将要去参观的游客”。故填visiting/to visit。
【3题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,大量的游客到一个地方是一个问题。上句讲到“遗址被列入世界遗产名录的好处(游客多)”,本句讲“游客多的坏处”,二者转折关系,用however,首字母大写。故填However。
【4题详解】
考查it强调句型。句意:这是因为只有干燥的空气才使这些精彩的画作从秦朝早期就
保存下来。分析句子可知,本句去掉It is和设空处仍然是一个完成句子,由此可知此处考查强调句,结构为It is/was +被强调部分+ that(强调人时可用who)+句子其他部分,此处强调的是状语only because of the dry air,用that。故填that。
【5题详解】
考查时态。句意:这是因为只有干燥的空气才使这些精彩的画作从秦朝早期就保存下来了。此处缺乏谓语,由时间状语since the early Qin Dynasty可知,since +过去的时间,句子用现在完成时(has/have done),主语the wonderful paintings是复数,谓语复数形式。故填have survived。

【8题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:遗憾的是,在世界范围内,特别是在那些有战争或极度贫困的国家,许多美丽的遗址仍然处于濒危状态。此处是定语从句,先行词是countries,在从句中做地点状语,用关系副词where。故填where。
【9题详解】
考查名词。句意:遗憾的是,在世界范围内,特别是在那些有战争或极度贫困的国家,许多美丽的遗址仍然处于濒危状态。there is fighting or great ___9___ (poor)是“there be +主语”结构,此处用名词poverty(贫困)作主语,该词不可数。故填poverty。
