Answer 1

分析 文章介绍了鼹鼠，它是一种小动物，但它的前爪很有力量，还介绍了它几乎是看不见的，但有很好的嗅觉，它一直都在不停地吃东西，如果不吃东西，几个小时就会死亡．它可以帮助农民和花匠们提高排水系统，但也会破坏他们的草坪，所以他们会将鼹鼠杀死或撵走．

解答 73．below 考查介词．由which it uses to digthrough the soil and make tunnels可知他们几乎所有的时间都在地底下，用below表示在..下．
74．powerful 考查形容词．由which it uses to digthrough the soil and make tunnels可知鼹鼠的前爪是很有力的，用powerful表示有力的．
75．earth 考查名词．由where it makesmounds （土墩）of soil called mole-hills可知此处表示它们会把土从地洞里推到地面，用earth表示土．
76．if 考查连词．由Gardeners sometimes watch amole-hill可推测此处表示他们看看是否有轻微的移动，用if表示是否．
77．blind 考查形容词．由but have a very strong sense of smell与所给词汇可推测此处表示的是鼹鼠们几乎是看不见的，用blind表示瞎的．
78．food 考查名词．由They eat nearly all the time可知此处表示如果没有食物它们不能活过几小时，用food表示食物．
79．However 考查副词．分析语境可知gardeners hate to see their lawns spoilt（破坏） by mole-hills与Mole tunnels help gardeners and farmers by improving the drainage间是转折关系，用however表示然而．
80．As a result 考查短语．分析语境可知they try to kill moles or make them go away是gardeners hate to see their lawns spoilt（破坏） by mole-hills的结果，用as a result表示结果．
