2.考查形容词。根据They can swim in it，or lie on the beaches in the sun他们可以在里面游泳，或躺在阳光下的海滩上，说明人们喜欢海洋，根据The sea looks___2___on a fine sunny day，其中looks是一个系动词，这里需要一个形容词作表语，结合选词，推测意思是海洋在晴朗的好天气里看起来很美丽，故用beautiful“美丽的”，故答案选B。

3.考查名词。根据They can swim in it，or lie on the beaches in the sun他们可以在里面游泳，或躺在阳光下的海滩上，说明人们喜欢海洋，结合选词，推测意思是数百万的人希望到海边度假，联想到固定短语take one’s holiday “度假”，这是一个可数名词，数百万人的假期，故用复数holidays“假期”；故答案选D。

6.考查名词。根据句意There are a lot of___6___in the sea.有许多的___6___在海里，结合选项，可知islands“岛屿”符合题意，故答案选D。

7.考查形容词。根据Some of them are big and the others are___7___一些是大的，另外一些是___7___，结合选词，推测意思是一些是大的，另外一些是小的，这里and连接两个并列成分，故用big的反义词small小的 ；故答案选A。      

8.考查名词。根据you may know that the water is salty（咸的），你可能知道水是咸的，结合选词，推测意思是河流从陆地携带盐到大海，故用salt盐，这是一个不可数名词，用单数即可，故答案选C。
