【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。屠呦呦是中国第一个获得诺贝尔奖的女科学家,她带领她的团队发现了青蒿素,从而挽救了数百万人的生命。
【1】考查连词。空前语境为:青蒿在中国是一种常见的植物;空后语境为:它有治愈致命疾病——疟疾的能力。根据空处前后语境可以判断,两句为转折关系,所以用转折连词but。故填but。
【2】考查时态和主谓一致。根据该句中的“who uses the plant' s special power”可知,该句应用一般现在时。又因主语为 Tu Youyou,所以谓语动词用单数。故填is。
【3】考查时态和语态。根据句中时间状语“On October 5th”可知,用一般过去时。主语Tu与动词award之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填was awarded。
【4】考查动词不定式。当名词前有序数词修饰时,要用动词不定式作后置定语。根据该句中的“ the first native Chinese person”可以判断,该句应用动词不定式作 person的后置定语。故填to receive。
【5】考查it的用法。分析该句结构可知,动词不定式短语“ to fight for the health of all humans”作真正的主语,it作形式主语。故填it。
【6】考査定语从句。分析该句结构可知,该句为定语从句,先行词为 medicine,空处在从句中作主语,指物,所以用 which或that引导该定语从句。故填which /that。
【7】考查名词的数。名词recipe为可数名词,根据前面的数词2,000可知,用复数形式。故填recipes。
【8】考査非谓语动词。 spend time doing sth为固定搭配,意为“花费时间做某事”,所以用v-ing形式。故填trying。
【9】考査介词。句意:根据世界卫生组织的数据,全世界大约有2亿人患有疟疾,每年大约有50万人死于疟疾。 suffer from为固定搭配,意为“(因疾病、痛苫等)受折磨”。故填from。
【10】考查形容词最高级。句意:青蒿素仍然是当今世界已知的最有效的治疗疟疾的药物。根据定冠词the,并结合句意可知,这里用形容词最高级形式。故填most effective。
分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如小题6就是考查定语从句。句中先行词为名词 medicine,再分析先行词 medicine在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词 medicine带到从句中可知只能作主语,故确定关系词which或that。
