1.for考查介词。beintendedfor意为"为……而设计的"，为固

定搭配。故填for。

2.where考查定语从句。空处指代先行词places并在从句中作地

点状语，故填

whereo

3.a考查不定冠词。此处第一次提及"naturalhabitat",所以是泛

指，且的发音以辅音音素开头,故填

naturalao

4.visitors考查名词。此处应用名词visitor作动词show的宾语，

游客有很多，所以应用复数形式。故填visitors..

5.fastest考查副词最高级。在oneof后的可数名词复数常用最高

级修饰，表示"最……的……之一"。故填

fastesto

考查副词。修饰动词应用副词。故填

6.graduallyrealizinggraduallyo

7.togain考查非谓语动词。利用生态旅游是为了获取利润,此处应

用不定式作目的状语。故填t。gain。

8.isoperated考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据"whoareonly

interestedin"可知，此处应用一般现在时。动
