27、因此选height。length“长度”；size“尺寸”；width“宽度”。3D根据上文可知，游客对树形仙人掌的形状惊讶不已，现在更令人惊讶的是它们的适应能力，因此选amazingly。pleasingly“令人愉快地”；inspiringly“鼓舞人心地”；interestingly“有趣地”。4A根据上下文可知，树形仙人掌“经历”了恶劣环境的考验，live through“经历”符合语境。break through“突破”；cut through“抄近路穿过，走近路”；get through“接通电话，通过考试”。5B除了恶劣的气候外，树形仙人掌还要遭受老鼠的“破坏”，因此选damag
28、e。crisis“危机”；destruction“毁灭”；load“负担”。6A像沙漠里其他所有的“植物”一样，因此选plants。life“生命”；animal“动物”；creature“生物”。7D树形仙人掌通过它们的长根茎吸收水。absorb“吸收”，符合语境。pour“倒，灌”；squeeze“挤压”；pump“抽出”。8B根据下文可知，作为许多动物赖以生存的食物和家园，树形仙人掌是沙漠“极为重要的”部分，因此选vital“极重要的”。independent“独立的”；original“原始的”；mysterious“神秘的”。9C根据最后一段的倒数第二句“But without th
29、e saguaro cacti.loss of nesting sites”可知，树形仙人掌可能是许多动物的栖息地。因此选home“家园”。spot“地点”；field“田地”；camp“营地”。10A树形仙人掌长到10岁左右。此处选turn意为“到(某年龄或某个时间)”，其后可以直接跟数字。take“带走”；meet“遇到”；gain“获得”。11B根据上下文可知，这里指树形仙人掌开花了，因此选come out“(花朵)开放”。come up“走近，被提到”；show off“炫耀”；show up“露面，到达”。12C根据下文中的“which come for the honey”可知，树
30、形仙人掌的花吸引了一些动物，因此此处选fascinate“迷住，深深吸引”。call“召集”；trap“困住”；stick“粘”。13C尽管在西南这壮丽的树形仙人掌很多，但它们却面临着危险。逗号前后表示让步关系，although“尽管”，符合语境。as“因为”；but“但是”；yet“然而”。14A根据上题解析可知，此处应选in danger“处于危险之中”。in demand“需求大，受欢迎”；in need“需要”；in control“掌管”。15D根据空格前的“These giant cacti have great value in landscape gardening, and
