【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章講了帝王蝶這種蝴蝶的數(shù)量在下降，造成它們數(shù)量下降的原因、它們的重要性以及人們可以做些什么去拯救它們。

【1】考查動詞時態(tài)。句意：他們在2018年秋季的帝王蝶得到了一個令人擔憂的結(jié)果。2018年是過去時間，謂語動詞用過去式，故填got。

【2】考查固定短語。句意：自從2017年帝王蝶的數(shù)量已經(jīng)下降了86%。短語the number of...“......的數(shù)量”，故填the。

【3】考查固定短語。句意：橙色和黑色相間的帝王蝶因它們的長途遷徙而聞名。短語be famous for...“因......聞名”，故填for。

【4】考查副詞。句意：帝王蝶和大多數(shù)蝴蝶一樣，對植物非常重要。terrible意為糟糕的、非常嚴重的，是形容詞，important意為重要的，是形容詞，用副詞修飾，terrible的副詞形式是terribly，意為很、非常，故填terribly。

【5】考查非謂語動詞。句意：它們完全依賴一種叫做乳草的植物產(chǎn)卵。短語depend on...to do...“依靠......去做某事”，to do不定式表目的，故填to lay。

【6】考查非謂語動詞。句意：隨著越來越多的野生土地變成大型農(nóng)場，帝王蝶很難找到足夠乳草。have trouble doing...“做某事有困難”，故填finding。

【7】考查定語從句連接詞。句意：許多農(nóng)場也使用殺蟲劑來殺死昆蟲，以保護他們的植物。chemicals在此指化學(xué)藥品，是定語從句的先行詞，定語從句中少主語成分，用關(guān)系代詞，代指前面的名詞并且指物應(yīng)該用關(guān)系代詞which/that，故填which/that。

【8】考查形容詞比較級。句意：此外，污染使得乳草對帝王蝶的健康狀況不如從前。less應(yīng)修飾形容詞比較級，health意為健康，是名詞，其形容詞形式是healthy，意為健康的，健康的的比較級是healthier，故填healthier。

【9】考查動詞時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：科學(xué)家表示，如果不采取措施拯救帝王蝶，它們將在未來20年面臨滅絕的危險。此處事情是被做，用被動語態(tài)，結(jié)構(gòu)為be done，if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句用一般現(xiàn)在時，nothing意為什么也沒有，謂語動詞用單數(shù)，be動詞的單數(shù)形式是is，故填is done。

【10】考查名詞的數(shù)。句意：人們可以做的事情包括種植乳草，控制化學(xué)品的使用，保護野生地區(qū)，植樹。后面列舉出了很多人們可以做的事情，故此處可數(shù)名詞thing用其復(fù)數(shù)形式，句首單詞首字母大寫，故填Things。
