【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了世界上最年长的日本人Chitetsu Watanab以及他的长寿秘诀。

1

考查介词。句意:一位相信微笑的日本男子成为了世界上最长寿的男性。believe in 译为“信仰,信任”是固定短语。故填in

2

考查非谓语动词。句意:本周三,老人在该市的一家医疗中心获得了“世界最长寿老人”的证书。分析句子,简单句中已有动词received,故提示词需用非谓语动词。同时提示词recognize和逻辑主语之间表示主动伴随关系。故填recognizing

3

考查时态。句意:前纪录保持者是另一位日本人Masazo Nonaka。分析句子,简单中除了提示词外无其余动词,所以此处需用动词的时态。分析句意,此处表示“之前的长寿者”,故此处应用过去时态,且主语为单数。故填was

4

考查定语从句。句意:前世界纪录保持者是另一位日本人Masazo Nonaka,他于上月去世。分析句子,定语从句部分缺主语,引导词应用关系代词。从句的先行词指人。故填who

5

考查形容词。句意:直到大约10年前,渡边还在做盆栽,这是一种日本传统的种植小型雕塑树木的艺术。分析句子,划线后的art词性为名词,故需将提示词变为形容词来修饰名词。故填traditional

6

考查副词。句意:他的作品经常出现在展览上。分析句子,提示词regular的词性为形容词,不能修饰动词。动词修饰的是副词。故填regularly

7

考查名词复数。句意:吉尼斯说,现在他喜欢吃不同的甜点,比如甜奶油冻。分析句子,提示词dessert 译为“甜品”是可数名词,此处被different修饰,需表示复数。故填desserts

8

考查冠词。句意:Watanabe曾就读于一所农业学校,并在那里完成了学业。分析句子,划线后面的school为可数名词,此处表示单数。所以要在其前加冠词a/an,又因为agricultural以元音音素开头。故填an

9

考查名词。句意:他在当地政府工作到退休。分析句子,提示词retire的词性为动词,划线前有形容词性物主代词his,后面须加名词。所以需将retire改为名词,且为不可数名词。故填retirement

10

考查非谓语动词。句意:当被问及长寿的秘诀时,渡边说:不要生气,保持微笑。分析句子,提示词所处的分句无主语,故此处需用非谓语动词作状语。同时ask和逻辑主语之间表示被动关系,所以此处需用过去分词做状语。故填Asked

【题目】 It was a red-letter day in the history of medicine—“Target Zero Day”, May 8th, 1980, marking the complete removal of smallpox, a terrifying disease. It was untreatable but, luckily, it turned out that vaccination(接种疫苗) provided good protection— and that mass immunization(免疫) could wipe out the smallpox virus by blocking its spread.

According to legend, vaccination was invented by Dr Edward Jenner. Jenner showed that healthy children vaccinated with cowpox, a mild infection of cattle, could not catch smallpox. He was supposedly inspired by a comment from a local milkmaid, but there is evidence that the idea came from a medical friend, John Fewster, who had experimented with cowpox. Nevertheless, Jenner deserves credit for introducing vaccination into the medical mainstream with his paper published in 1798.

In 1966, 160 years after the prediction that vaccination would clean off the disease, the World Health Organization launched its Smallpox Eradication Programme. This heroic 11-year drive was directed by two’ American public health doctors, DA Henderson and Bill Foege. Their hardships were enormous. One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed. Henderson promised to send him the tyre and wished him good appetite. But Henderson and Foege’s hard work paid off— three years after the last smallpox case was informed (to make sure no outbreaks had been missed) Target Zero Day was declared.

40 years on, why should we remember Target Zero Day? First, to celebrate victory of preventative medicine and freedom from a cruel disease. Then, we must remember the victims of smallpox. It had previously killed 1 in 12 worldwide. In 1914, a Canadian professor warned against forgetting smallpox, which was fast disappearing from North America. It went on to kill at least another 250 million people— three times more than both world wars combined. Target Zero Day also reminds us of undefeated infections, including polio, measles, malaria, and of course the coronavirus Covid-19. Let’s recognize Target Zero Day for what it isa milestone in world history and a monument to the art of the possible.
