In Cape Town，you will witness many crimes 1.committed(commit) by animals，but there’s nothing the police can do about it.Nowadays，many wild animals are moving into cities，as if our cities are being taken 2.over by them.People often wonder about the reasons behind this mass urban migration，one of 3.which is that we humans have moved into their territory.Cities offer 4.increasingly(increase) appealing places to animals 5.looking(look) for new habitats.Without natural predators，the animals in cities often flourish and find plenty to eat with ease.6.To figure(figure) out difficult problems in cities，animals need to be more 7.intelligent(intelligence) and some have even changed their living habits.However，many animals are also faced with many dangers.Unable to distinguish between blue sky 8.and glass，birds often crash into windows，resulting in many deaths.One theory behind this is 9.that they have yet to change their migratory

routes.Through this，we can get a better 10.understanding(understand) of and even learn to appreciate our wild neighbours.Only then can we look towards harmoniously sharing our urban habitats.

Ⅰ.补句子　析结构

1．No matter how many crimes he committed(commit)，the police were powerless(power) to arrest him.(P82 Para.1)

结构分析：此句为主从复合句。No matter how引导让步状语从句，相当于however。

汉语翻译：不论他犯罪多少次，警方都无法抓捕到他。

2．With foxes in London，mountain lions in San Francisco and wild pigs in Hong Kong，it is almost as if our cities are being taken over by wild animals.(P82 Para.1)

结构分析：此句为主从复合句。With foxes in London...Hong Kong是with复合结构在句中作状语，其构成是“with＋名词＋介词短语”；as if引导表语从句，as if意为“似乎，好像”。

汉语翻译：伦敦出现了狐狸，旧金山出现了美洲狮，香港出现了野猪，我们的城市就像是被野生动物给占领了。

3．However true this is，we also need to consider that some of these so-called “urban animals” have never moved at all—it’s we humans who have moved into their territory.(P82 Para.2)

结构分析：此句为主从复合句。However引导让步状语从句；that引导宾语从句；it’s we humans who...territory为强调句型，强调主语we humans。

汉语翻译：无论事实如何，我们必须得明白，在这些所谓的“城市动物”中，有一些根本就没有迁徙过——是我们人类搬到了它们的领地里。

4．With nowhere else to make their homes，they have no choice but to move(move) in with us.(P82 Para.2)

结构分析：此句为简单句。With nowhere else to make their homes是with复合结构在句中作状语。

汉语翻译：既然没有别处可以安家，它们别无选择，只好搬来和我们一起住。

5．As our cities become greener(green)，they offer increasingly appealing(appeal) spaces to animals looking for new habitats.(P82 Para.3)

结构分析：此句为主从复合句。As引导时间状语从句，意为“随着”。looking for new habitats是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰名词animals。

汉语翻译：随着我们的城市绿化越来越好，它们越来越吸引着寻找新栖息地的动物。

6．There is evidence that urban racoons are more intelligent(intelligent) than their wild cousins，as
