Bdy language can make interacting with thers and expressing yurself much easier, but it can als intrduce new challenges.

32．答案：①t②lsing③particularly④a⑤places⑥have reduced⑦that/which⑧published⑨t survive⑩careful
解析：①t考查介词。句意：一项研究发现，由于气候变化和集约化农业，世界上一些地区的昆虫数量减少了一半。due t是固定短语，意为“由于”，因此空格处是介词t，故填t。
②lsing考查动名词。句意：首席研究员、伦敦大学学院的Charlie Outhwaite博士说，昆虫数量的减少不仅对自然环境有害，而且对人类健康和粮食安全有害，尤其是传粉媒介的减少。空格处用动名词作said后的宾语从句中的主语，故填lsing。
③particularly考查副词。句意：首席研究员、伦敦大学学院的Charlie Outhwaite博士说，昆虫数量的减少不仅对自然环境有害，而且对人类健康和粮食安全有害，尤其是传粉媒介的减少。空格处用副词particularly作状语，particularly意为“尤其”，故填particularly。
④a考查冠词。句意：然而，科学数据给出了一个喜忧参半的画面，一些类型的昆虫急剧下降，而另一些则保持稳定。picture是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，mixed是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
⑤places考查名词的复数。句意：在最新的研究中，研究人员收集了6000个不同地方近2万种昆虫的范围和数量的数据，包括蜜蜂、蚂蚁等。空前有6,000 different，空格处用复数，故填places。
⑥have reduced考查时态和主谓一致。句意：根据发表在《自然》杂志上的研究，与未受气候变化最严重影响的未受影响地区相比，在集约化农业和严重变暖的地区，迄今为止昆虫数量减少了49%，不同物种数量减少了27%。由s far可知，句子时态是现在完成时，主语numbers是复数，因此空格处用have reduced。故填have reduced。
⑦that/which考查定语从句。句意：根据发表在《自然》杂志上的研究，与未受气候变化最严重影响的未受影响地区相比，在集约化农业和严重变暖的地区，迄今为止昆虫数量减少了49%，不同物种数量减少了27%。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词areas是地区，因此空格处用关系代词that/which引导定语从句，故填that/which。
⑧published考查非谓语动词。句意：根据发表在《自然》杂志上的研究，与未受气候变化最严重影响的未受影响地区相比，在集约化农业和严重变暖的地区，迄今为止昆虫数量减少了49%，不同物种数量减少了27%。句中谓语是have reduced，空格处用非谓语动词，作后置定语修饰名词the research，名词the research和动词publish之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填published。
⑨t survive考查不定式。句意：但研究人员表示，人们有理由抱有希望，因为为大自然留出一些土地，为昆虫创造了一个庇护所，昆虫需要阴凉处才能在炎热的天气中生存。根据语境可知，句子表示“昆虫需要阴凉处才能在炎热的天气中生存”，空格处用不定式表目的，故填t survive。
⑩careful考查形容词。句意：对农业地区进行一些细致的管理，比如保护农田附近的自然栖息地，可能有助于确保重要的昆虫仍然能很好地生长。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词management，根据语境可知，句子表示“对农业地区进行一些细致的管理，比如保护农田附近的自然栖息地，可能有助于确保重要的昆虫仍然能很好地生长”，空格处意为“细致的”，是careful。故填careful。
