“语法填空”专项强化练(四) (限时35分钟) A (2023·景德镇三模)Earth Day is April 22.Every year, people carry out all kinds of __1__ (active) in an effort to better the planet's health. One way to support this goal is__2__ (grow)plants native to your area. This helps wildlife like birds and insects that evolved alongside native plants. For many of these animals, plant pollen (花粉) is their food. Native pollinators (传粉者) often cannot recognize non­native plants as food. This means they do not collect the pollen or spread plants' seeds. Planting non­native species creates so­called “food deserts” for pollinators including bees, birds, bats, butterflies and more. Doug Tallamy, a professor, found that non­native plant species can harm the__3__ (nature) food chain. Humans depend strongly on insects.__4__ them, we would have no flowering plants, __5__ would harm the food web that supports important animals. Birds, for example, depend on plants for food and spread __6__ (they) seeds while keeping the populations of harmful insects down. Insects support plants that provide oxygen, clean our water, capture carbon and add nutrients to the soil. That __7__ (build) topsoil and prevents flooding. Without insects, the biosphere — __8__ living parts of the Earth — would rot because of the loss of insect decomposers (分解者)．Humans simply could not survive that, Tallamy said. In addition to__9__(provide) food and habitat for insects and other wildlife, native plants are able to grow__10__ (easy) and do not require much care. That means less watering and less fertilizing. The situation is a win­win for gardeners and pollinators. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为什么种植本地植物有助于改善地球的健康状况，保护环境。 1．activities　考查名词复数。根据“all kinds of”可知，空处应填名词的复数形式， 2．to grow　考查非谓语动词。此处应用动词不定式作表语解释goal的内容。 3．natural　考查形容词。空处在句中作定语修饰名词food chain，故填形容词natural。 4．Without　考查介词。根据“we would have no flowering plants”可知，此处表示假设没有它们，故填介词without；空处位于句首，首字母大写。 5．which　考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面提到的事情，且在从句中作主语，故填关系代词which。 6．their　考查代词。空处修饰名词seeds，应填形容词性物主代词。 7．
