96、。由句意可知，此处表示“建议做某事”，应用固定搭配“advise doing sth.”，用动名词形式作宾语，故填using。【39题详解】考查副词。句意：“整个想法是采用一种异乎寻常的农业实践，让Maremmas保护你的牲畜，然后把它们转移到一个企鹅经常受到狐狸攻击的岛屿上，”Marsh说。分析句子结合句意可知，此处修饰动作being attacked，应用副词修饰动词，故填constantly。【40题详解】考查连词。句意：与大多数受过训练的动物不同，Maremmas不会对牲畜构成威胁，而是与它们和谐相处，形成社会关系。由句意可知，前后内容构成转折关系，应用连词but连接两个动作，故填bu

98、。【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的状语，故填to pro
