【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今，许多其他野生动物正处于危险中，只是因为人类的错误行为。文章列举了中国一些濒临灭的动物，指出野生动物保护很紧急。

1.

考查动词时态。结合语境可知此处描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时。故填disappeared。

2.

考查介词。句意：如今，许多其他野生动物正处于危险中，只是因为人类的错误行为。结合句意表示“处于危险之中”短语为in danger。故填in。

3.

考查连词。句意：例如，猎杀老虎是为了获得制作衣服的皮毛；草原被无情地破坏，所以沙尘暴就产生了。结合上下文语境可知为因果关系，故应用so。故填so。

4.

考查动词时态。句意：中国正在做大量的工作。结合后文now可知表示动作此时此刻正在发生应用现在进行时，且主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故应用现在进行时的被动语态，主语为work，故谓语动词应用单数。故填is being done。

5.

考查冠词。government为可数名词，此处特指“中国政府”应用定冠词the。故填the。

6.

考查定语从句。此处为定语从句修饰先行词animals，且先行词在从句中作主语，且由the only修饰只能用关系代词that。故填that。

7.

考查动词时态。句意：他们正在被研究，因为他们的数量正在迅速减少。/它们正在被研究，因为它们的数量急剧减少。此处可理解为表示此时此刻正在发生的动作用现在进行时，主语为the number of them，谓语动词用单数；也可理解为陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为the number of them，谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填is decreasing/decreases。

8.

考查代词。结合上文One example，此处表示“另一个例子”应用代词another，指不确定范围中的人或物中的“一个……另一个……”用短语one…another…。句首单词首字母要大写。故填Another。

9.

考查副词。修饰后文动词observed应用副词carefully作状语，表示“仔细地”。故填carefully。

10.

考查名词。句意：野生动物保护很紧急。此处作主语，表示“保护”应用名词protection。故填protection。
