40、查冠词。句意：根据世界旅游协会，最近几年生态旅游每年增加了百分之五。句中不定冠词an修饰名词短语 annual growth表示泛指，而定冠词the表示特指。所以要填an。7考查时态语态。句意：到目前为止，超过80项活动被列在了生态旅游业的名单里。本句主语more than 80 activities与动词list构成被动关系，时间状语so far通常要和现在完成时连用。所以本句要填现在完成时的被动语态形式have been listed。8考查名词短语。句意：它们包括观鸟、远足、跳水和摄影以及参加各种各样的地方文化活动。名词短语varieties of“各种各样的”，在句中充当定语修饰名词短

41、语local cultural events。所以要填varieties。9考查定语从句。句意：在当今社会大城市仍然是吸引游客的主要地方。定语从句的先行词是places，关系代词that/which指代先行词，引导定语从句并在句中充当主语。所以要填that/which。10考查不定式复合结构。句意：乡村地区也许会成为未来人们参观的新的目的地。不定式的复合结构“for sb to do sth”是为了说明不定式动作的发出者，在此作后置定语修饰the new destinations。所以本句中要填to visit。.短文改错My classmates and I take part in a w
