From deserts and beaches to playgrounds, sand is a common sight. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource. Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of ________.

Sand is made up of very small ________ （piece） of rock, soil and minerals（矿物质）. It can take tens of thousands of years to form. But now we are using sand more________ （quick） than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year ________ build houses, roads and other things. People also put sand in the________ [si:] to make new islands. For example, the Palm islands are made up of three________ [lɑːdʒ] man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In 2010, they ________ （take） 94 million cubic meters of sand to build. If people keep________（use） this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction sand by 2020, Live Science noted.

________ [sins] people need so much sand, they are trying to mine（开采） more of it. But

this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may ________ beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats （栖息地） of many plants and animals.

【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。

British people are famous for apologizing （道歉） in almost every situation. 1 we are apologizing for asking a question, for our bad weather or we sneeze before others （打喷嚏）,we are probably the number-one nation for apologies.

We pride ourselves on our polite 2 in public. As a result, we use the word \"sorry\" quite a lot—even when we don't really 3 it! Usually, if you want to ask someone for the time, you would start by saying \"Sorry to bother you. Do you know the time?\" If you're five minutes late for an appointment （约会）, you would generally 4 the person by saying \"Sorry, I'm late!\"

We use the word \"sorry\" in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has slightly 5 over time. The two main dictionary definitions （定义） of \"sorry\" are: feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or feeling regret because you've done something wrong. Usually, when you want to ask a stranger a question, you 6 with \"Sorry to disturb you.\" In this situation, we aren't saying sorry because we feel sad for that person or because we feel regret.

So what does \"sorry\" really mean? Well, in the British 7 , saying \"sorry\" is a way to be polite, especially to people who you don't know very well. It's also a very 8 way to get what you want. 9 , an actor asked different people on a rainy day if he could use their mobile phones. When he asked one group of strangers without apologizing first, he was only 9 per cent successful in borrowing their phones. 10 , when he apologized to another group about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones, he was 47 per cent successful. So maybe saying \"sorry\" is not just being polite, but it is also a good method to get what you want too! 1. A. When 3. A. mean 4. A. tell
