1.1.

A

B

C

D

解析：选thousands。本题考查数词固定结构。thousand 的使用分两种情况：前面有具体基数词时，thousand 用单数，不加 of；表示模糊泛指 “成千上万”，后接 of 时，thousand 必须加 s，构成短语thousands of。本空后面有介词 of，表达成千上万的候鸟，所以填 thousands。

2.2.

A

B

C

D

解析：选To avoid。本题考查非谓语动词不定式作目的状语。逗号后是完整主句，逗号前用来表达公园减少照明的目的 “为了避免这种影响”，英语中常用不定式 to do 表目的。单词放在句首，首字母必须大写，因此填 To avoid。不能填原形 avoid，原形动词不能直接引导目的状语。

3.3.

A

B

C

D

解析：选their。本题考查形容词性物主代词。空格后是名词词组 basic lights，修饰名词需要用形容词性物主代词。括号给出主格人称代词 they，主格只能做句子主语，要变为形容词性物主代词 their，含义 “它们的”，指代公园的各个区域，修饰后面的灯光，故填 their。

4.4.

A

B

C

D

解析：选safely。本题考查副词用法。空格修饰谓语动词 visit，修饰动词必须使用副词。括号内 safe 是形容词，形容词一般修饰名词；safe 的副词变形为 safely，意为 “安全地”，表达人们可以安全地游览公园，因此填 safely。

5.5.

A

B

C

D

解析：选decided。本题考查动词一般过去时态。整个故事讲述政府出台减灯光的过往事件，动作 “做决定” 是已经完成的过去行为。after 引导时间状语从句，主句用 supported 为一般过去时，时态保持一致，从句谓语动词 decide 要使用过去式 decided。

6.6.

A

B

C

D

解析：选and。本题考查并列连词。thoughtful “体贴的” 和 kind “善良的”，是两个并列的形容词，共同修饰名词 action。两个并列、语义顺承的形容词中间需要并列连词 and 连接，表示 “体贴且善意的”，所以填 and。

7.7.

A

B

C

D

解析：选animals。本题考查名词复数。wild animals 为固定表达 “野生动物”，此处泛指各种各样的野生动物，不是指某一只动物，animal 是可数名词，泛指一类事物时需要变为复数形式 animals。

8.8.

A

B

C

D

解析：选the。本题考查定冠词的用法。形容词 only 表示 “唯一的”，后面接名词时，前面必须搭配定冠词 the，构成固定结构the only + 名词。本句表达深圳并不是唯一一座这么做的城市，故填 the。

9.9.

A

B

C

D

解析：选to。本题考查介词固定搭配。from…to…是中考高频固定介词短语，表示时间或者范围 “从…… 到……”。本句指时间范围九月至十一月，from 后面已经给出 September，后面需要填介词 to。

10.10.

A

B

C

D

解析：选helpful。本题考查形容词转换。本句是 be 动词 is 后面作表语，be 动词后常用形容词。括号内 help 是动词或名词，它对应的形容词形式为 helpful；固定句型be helpful for…意为 “对…… 是有帮助的”，符合灯光关闭对候鸟认路有益的句意，填 helpful。
