(7)句意:2010年,他们用9400万立方米的沙子建造。根据时间状语In 2010可知,本题的时态为一般过去时。动词take的过去式为took。故答案为:took。
(8)句意:如果人们继续使用这么多沙子,它会在很多地方用完。根据固定搭配keep doing sth. 继续做某事,可知此处应用动名词做宾语,动词use的动名词为using。故答案为:using。
(9)句意:由于人们需要这么多沙子,他们正试图开采更多的沙子。由语境和音标 [sins] 提示可知,填:since,表自……以来、因为、由于。句首单词首字母要大写。故答案为:Since。
(10)句意:开采沙可能会导致海滩消失,在靠近大海的地方会发生更多的洪水。根据beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea海滩消失,在靠近大海的地方会发生更多的洪水,可知这些是开采沙所导致的后果,因此填:cause。may是情态动词,后跟动词原形。故答案为:cause。
