一开始设计的不是斜的,现在成为斜的了,与设计本身不符,因此使用转折词but连接,故答案是but。
(5)句意:即使人们因为倾斜不认为这是成功的建筑,但是它却在历史上赢得了特殊的地位。
success作定语修饰building,因此使用形容词successful,故答案是successful。
(6)句意:这座塔也曾被意大利科学家伽利略用来做实验。
call以及后面的Galileo Galilei 作后置定语修饰scientist,意思为被叫做,因此使用过去分词called,故答案是called。

millions of固定短语,成百万的,故答案是millions。

【答案】 it;pieces;quickly;to;sea;large;took;using;Since;cause
【解析】【分析】大意:本文主要介绍了沙子这种常见的景观。
(1)句意:然而,联合国说,沙子并不是无限的,我们有可能会用完它们。
run out of“用完,用尽”的意思。
这里用it来指代上文的沙子(sand是不可数名词)。
故答案为:it。
(2)句意:沙子由非常小的岩石、土壤和矿物质组成。
根据rock, soil and minerals(矿物质)可知,这是几种成分,因此piece用复数pieces。
故答案为:pieces。
(3)句意:但现在我们使用沙子的速度比它形成的速度要快。
根据副词修饰动词可知,此处应用形容词quick的副词形式quickly修饰动词use“使用”。
故答案为:quickly。
(4)句意:据英国广播公司报道,我们每年用大约150亿吨沙子建造房屋、道路和其他东西。
根据固定搭配 use sth. to do sth. 用某物做某物,可知此处用动词不定式to do做目的状语。
故答案为:to。
(5)句意:人们还把沙子放进海里,制造新的岛屿。
由语境和音标[si:]提示可知,填:sea。
故答案为:sea。
(6)句意:例如,棕榈岛由阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拜的三个大型人工岛屿组成的。
由语境和音标[lɑːdʒ]提示可知,填:large,three large man-made islands三个大型的人工岛屿。
故答案为:large。
(7)句意:2010年,他们用9400万立方米的沙子建造。
根据时间状语In 2010可知,本题的时态为一般过去时。
动词take的过去式为took。
故答案为:took。
(8)句意:如果人们继续使用这么多沙子,它会在很多地方用完。
根据固定搭配keep doing sth. 继续做某事,可知此处应用动名词做宾语,动词use的动名词为using。
故答案为:using。
(9)句意:由于人们需要这么多沙子,他们正试图开采更多的沙子。
由语境和音标[sins] 提示可知,填:since,表自……以来、因为、由于。
句首单词首字母要大写。
故答案为:Since。
(10)句意:开采沙可能会导致海滩消失,在靠近大海的地方会发生更多的洪水。
根据beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea海滩消失,在靠近大海的地方会发生更多的洪水,可知这些是开采沙所导致的后果,因此填:cause。
may是情态动词,后跟动词原形。
故答案为:cause。
【点评】考查语法填空,注意根据单词在语境中的词性进行必要的变形,同时熟记固定搭配和基本句型。
