32、them. (他们两个最著名的就是“包装”的东西很大,是大多数人永远不会想到去包装的东西。)”可知克里斯托段作品通常都是大多数人想不到的,说明他具有创造力;结合最后一段“I am an artist, and I have to have courage, Christo said.(克里斯托说:“我是一个艺术家,我必须有勇气。)”可知克里斯托是一个有勇气的人,所以B项“有创造力和勇气”最适合用于描述克里斯托,故选B项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“I am an artist, and I have to have courage, Christo said.

95、亚海岸一个岛屿上的生物链。【36题详解】考查形容词。句意:在退潮时,一种引入的物种欧洲红狐可以接近它,这带来了灾难性的后果。become为系动词,后接形容词作表语,所以应填入形容词accessible,表示“可接近的”,故填accessible。【37题详解】考查谓语动词。句意:30年前,中岛是成千上万只企鹅的家园,但到了90年代末,这个数字下降了一半,到2005年只剩下四只企鹅。分析句子可知,fall在句中作谓语,由句意及时间状语by the late 90s可知,时态应用过去完成时had done,故填had fallen。【38题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,当地养鸡户艾伦马什建议使

98、,故填 presence。【44题详解】考查动词时态及语态。句意:此后,更多的家畜护卫犬被派往中岛。分析句子可知,send在句中作谓语,由时间状语ever since可知,时态应用现在完成时,由句意可知,send与主语More livestock guardian dogs之间为被动关系,且主语为复数,所以本句谓语应用现在完成时的被动语态结构have been done,故填have been sent。【45题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:他们煞费苦心地保护企鹅,企鹅的数量继续攀升。分析句子可知,已有谓语动词take,所以protect在句中应用非谓语动词形式,结合句意可知,此处应用不定式作目
