1 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Now more and more wild animals     1     (enter) cities.     2     our cities become greener, they offer increasingly     3     (appeal) spaces to animals looking for new habitat. Out of reach from many of their natural predators, these newcomers often flourish in their new city lives. What's more, hungry animals can find plenty to eat in our gardens and in the leftovers. One thing crucial to the increasing number of “urban animals” is their ability     4     (adapt) . There is evidence     5     urban racoons are more intelligent than their wild cousins, as they frequently have to figure out difficult problems such as how to open rubbish bins and other containers. Some animals have even changed their living habits to fit in     6     their new homes. For those animals that don't adapt, the city can be dangerous. Recent     7     (study) estimate that between 400 million and 1 billion birds die from window impacts each year in the US alone.     8     (shock) , these deaths amount to around ten percent of the total US bird population. However they adapt to our ways of urban living, it's important that we have     9     better understanding of and even learn to appreciate our wild neighbours. Only then     10     we look towards harmoniously sharing our urban habitats.

After getting up late on a sleepy Sunday, I saw my dad at the kitchen table reading the Sunday edition of the local newspaper. I made a sandwich and sat down next to him, asking him what was new. He turned sadly to me and said that the municipal council (市政委员会) was planning to introduce a measure to pull down the community garden nearby. He mentioned that he used to work on it with his dad, so the place had some fond childhood memories for him.

He then put down the paper, walked over to the closet and-after a bit of searching-pulled out a thick, black binder (活页夹). Inside, there was a whole bunch of old photographs. After thumbing through a few pages, my dad found the one of him and his dad together at the community garden, just like he’d said. “Wow, your cheeks were super rosy back then!” I said, surprised.

With nothing planned for the afternoon, my dad and I decided to take a trip over to the community garden to see how it was doing these days. Not great, as it turned out. Crumpled (皱巴巴的) soda cans, cigarette butts (烟头) and other trash were everywhere. Pots of soil were still there, but what few plants remained were either dead or dying.

We looked at each other and knew what we had to do. After gathering some tools and garbage bags, we went straight to work cleaning up the place. I phoned up some of my school friends and, soon enough, a half-dozen people were collecting trash bags and sweeping paths. Someone had even brought bags of fresh seeds and soil along with new flowers, so we uprooted the old dead plants and flowers and planted anew.

After only a few hours, the community garden looked totally changed. Despite our hard work, there was still the matter of the upcoming council vote. We created a plan: take photos of the garden and spread the news about the vote. Using the photographs, we would then collect signatures (签名) to show continued local interest and then present these to the council.

注意：

After two weeks of photo-taking and signature-collecting, it was time to present at the local council meeting.
