题目内容
【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
You have heard about tea's health benefits, but not all the news 【1】(be) good. The latest study, led by Farhad Islami, from the American Cancer Society, has found that 【2】(drink)too hot tea may double your risk of esophagus(食道)cancer.
While previous studies have found a link 【3】 hot drinks and this type of cancer, this is the first study to 【4】(accurate)figure out the temperature at which a hot liquid becomes risky. Dr. Islami and his colleagues find that the constant damage of stomach 【5】(cause)by swallowing the hot liquids may speed up the growth of cancer. While the 【6】(result)are unsettling, it may help you to know that out of the more than 49,000 tea drinkers in 【7】 study, only 317 developed esophagus cancer. In other words, the overall risk is still small.
The study has also showed that although black and green teas have antioxidants(抗氧化剂)【8】 can help reduce cancer risk, there are other unknown compounds(化合物)in the teas that may have a harmful effect on your body when they 【9】(make)too hot. Before drinking hot teas, 【10】 is wise to wait until they cool down.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了茶饮虽有一定益处,但若不当饮用滚烫的热茶,对身体健康有潜在危害的研究结果。
【1】
考查主谓一致。此处指“并不都是好消息”,主语中news是不可数名词,谓语应为第三人称单数,且此处语境使用一般现在时,故填is。
【2】
考查动名词作主语。句中may之前为主语,因此需把动词原形变为现在分词形式,构成drinking too hot tea的动名词以作主语,故填drinking。
【3】
考查介词。此处表达的是“热饮与此种类型癌症之间的联系”,表达两者之间使用介词between,故填between。
【4】
考查副词。此处修饰动词短语“figure out the temperature”(算出温度),应使用副词accurately(精确地),故填accurately。
【5】
考查过去分词作后置定语。此处意为“喝下热饮所导致的胃部持续损伤”,此处,胃部损伤(damage of stomach)的原因使用后置定语来表达,damage与后置定语中的动词cause构成被动关系,因而有caused by…(由……引起的),故填caused。
【6】
考查名词。根据谓语are可知主语部分的名词应使用复数形式,确保主谓一致,故填results。
【7】
考查冠词。该研究已在前文中具体描述,因而此处“该研究”并非第一次出现,且句中语境为特指“这一研究”(the study),故填the。
【8】
考查定语从句。句意:红茶和绿茶中有能降低癌症风险的抗氧化剂。句子中使用限制性定语从句来修饰抗氧化剂,先行词antioxidants(抗氧化剂)在从句中作主语,因而可使用关系代词that/which来指代它,并引导定语从句,故填that/which。
【9】
考查被动语态。句意:它们被做得太热了(太滚烫了)。此处主语they指代茶饮teas(与前文一致,tea可以为复数),名词teas与动词make构成被动关系,且此处为一般现在时,故填are made。
【10】
考查形式主语。使用代词it指代句中的真正主语to wait until they cool down,从而避免句子结构的“头重脚轻”,构成It is adj. to do的固定句式,故填it。
