1.句意:他1963年出生在哈尔滨附近的一个小村庄,因其伟大的旅程被称为“当代徐霞客”。
上文提到他是探险家,空处需要体现其探险经历的名词,journey“旅程”符合语境。study“学习”、job“工作”、dream“梦想”均无法对应探险家的身份。
2.句意:在开始旅行之前,他花了十年时间准备。
下文提到他跑步锻炼、阅读野外生存书籍,这些都是出发前的准备工作,preparing“准备”符合语境。playing“玩耍”、travelling“旅行”、resting“休息”均与下文内容不符。

deal with是固定搭配,意为“应对、处理”,符合语境。do、make、live均无法与with搭配表达此含义。
4.句意:在旅途中,他磨破了52双鞋,还掉了19个脚趾甲。
上文提到他徒步旅行,结合空后“lost 19 toenails”可知长时间行走会磨损鞋子,shoes“鞋子”符合语境。glasses“眼镜”、hats“帽子”、coats“外套”均与徒步磨损无关。
5.句意:有一次,在神农架森林里他甚至不得不吃蛇肉来维持生存。
结合“he even had to eat snake meat to stay”可知,吃蛇肉来维持生存,stay alive是固定搭配,意为“活着、维持生命”,符合语境。live“活的”、lively“活泼的”、living“活着的”均不能与stay构成此搭配。
6.句意:他面临泥石流、狼群袭击等许多危险,但他从未放弃。

13.句意:雷殿生的故事告诉我们:真正的冒险不只是走得远。
上文讲述他徒步八万多公里,far“远”符合语境。fast“快”、slowly“慢”、early“早”均与徒步主题无关。

For many of us, the 1 place where we can get to wild animals is a zoo. These places let us see amazing animals—from big cats to tiny lizards—and what they are like. It’s an enjoyable and educational 2 for us, but is it the best environment for these animals?
Long ago, people could only 3 wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later on, live animals were caught by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in wildlife parks. Animal happiness was not a priority (优先权) 4 zoos, however, have transformed (使改观) the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures (围场), removing bars, and—to some extent— 5 their natural habitats.
Some people have 6 the cruelty of keeping animals captive (圈养的) for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of the Zoo Licensing Act of 1981 also required zoos to 7 the public. Well—managed zoos are now also involved in 8 and funding (为……提供资金) conservation programs.
Probably the biggest voice from zoos today is that they help protect species in the wild that are under 9 due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said: “There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today without 10 .” Some zoos have captive breeding (繁殖) programs which help to preserve the 11 of species that would otherwise die out. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently highly praised Chester Zoo in the UK for its 12 work. It brought “a rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and sending a school of golden skiffia fish back into their 13 river.
Although the debate about having zoos 14 . new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, like virtual reality. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: “Taking a walk through a herd of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be 15 pretty soon.” That day is sure to come.

Before starting his trip, he spent 10 years 2 . He did daily long runs to build up his strength and read many books on wild survival to learn how to 3 with dangers.
From 1998 to 2008, Lei spent 10 years walking across China. He walked about 81,000 kilometers—almost twice around the equator (赤道)! During the trip, he wore out 52 pairs of 4 and lost 19 toenails (脚趾甲). Once, he even had to eat snake meat to stay 5 in the Shennongjia Forest. He faced many dangers, like mudslides and wolf attacks, but he never 6 . In 2008, he made history by walking alone through the Lop Nur Desert—a dry, dangerous place. He walked 1,100 kilometers in 31 days and became the 7 person to do that alone.
Lei didn’t just walk for 8 . He visited all 56 ethnic groups in China, took 40,000 photos and wrote 3.2 million words in his notes. These notes became a “living record” of Chinese culture and nature.

Now, Lei still works for travel and education. He leads teams to study the 10 , like protecting the source of the Yangtze River. Last year, he took a group of scientists to collect water samples there.

For many of us, the 1 place where we can get to wild animals is a zoo. These places let us see amazing animals—from big cats to tiny lizards—and what they are like. It’s an enjoyable and educational 2 for us, but is it the best environment for these animals?
Long ago, people could only 3 wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later on, live animals were caught by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in wildlife parks. Animal happiness was not a priority (优先权) 4 zoos, however, have transformed (使改观) the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures (围场), removing bars, and—to some extent— 5 their natural habitats.
Some people have 6 the cruelty of keeping animals captive (圈养的) for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of the Zoo Licensing Act of 1981 also required zoos to 7 the public. Well—managed zoos are now also involved in 8 and funding (为……提供资金) conservation programs.
Probably the biggest voice from zoos today is that they help protect species in the wild that are under 9 due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said: “There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today without 10 .” Some zoos have captive breeding (繁殖) programs which help to preserve the 11 of species that would otherwise die out. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently highly praised Chester Zoo in the UK for its 12 work. It brought “a rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and sending a school of golden skiffia fish back into their 13 river.
Although the debate about having zoos 14 . new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, like virtual reality. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: “Taking a walk through a herd of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be 15 pretty soon.” That day is sure to come.
