Answer 1

分析 江豚是生活在长江中的濒临灭绝的动物之一，主要是受到了人类活动的影响，目前只有大约1000头．所以，我们应当更好地保护它们．

解答 46．animals 47．to 48．affected 49．protecting 50．it
51．a 52．better 53．that/which 54．be employed 55．Although/Though/While
46．animals 考查名词．根据句意：江豚是这些濒临灭绝的动物中的一种．
47．to 考查固定搭配．pay attention to意为"注意"，是固定搭配．
48．affected 考查动词语态．they与affect之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态．
49．protecting 考查动名词． in是介词，后接动词时，用动名词形式．
50．it 考查it用法．it作形式宾语，指代真正的宾语 to get sponsorship．
51．a 考查固定搭配．a number of意为"许多的"，是固定搭配，a certain number of意为"一定量的"．
52．better 考查比较级．根据句中than before，要用比较级，即：如果那样的话，我们就能比以前更好地照顾它们．
53．that/which 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词 organizations是物，且从句中缺少主语，用关系代词which．
54．be employed 考查情态动词被动语态．workers与employ之间是动宾关系，用被动语态．
55．Although/Though/While 考查连词．前后两个单句表示转折关系，although/though/while都意为"虽然，尽管"，引导让步状语从句，即：虽然任务具有挑战性，但我们自信我们迟早会成功的．
