【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了改变人们生活的两种药——阿司匹林和青霉素。
【1】考查定语从句。one of ___1___ is aspirin是一个介词 + 关系代词引导的定语从句,指物,只能用which。
【2】考查时态。根据时间状语in 1897,可判断出是发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时,所以填invented。
【3】考查固定短语。句意:它是由一种含有特殊物质的树叶或树皮制成,在1900年,第一次以药片的形式出售。in the form of以…的形式,该短语是固定短语,所以填the。
【4】考查时态和语态。它被用来推荐减少潜在的心脏病发作和癌症的发生。“它”和“推荐”之间是被动关系,用被动语态,表示主语现在的状态,用一般现在时,所以填is recommended。
【5】考查名词。句意:对于它如何帮助延长人们的生命和帮助人们抵抗疾病方面,有了更多的发现。作动词increase的宾语,用名词,所以填length。
【6】考查固定短语。句意:另外一种被证明对人类有益的药物是青霉素。beneficial to对…有益,该短语是固定短语,所以填beneficial。
【7】考查强调句。把it was和该空去掉,这个句子结构仍然完整,所以这是一个强调句,强调句的基本结构是it is/ was + 被强调部分 + that + 句子的其他成分,所以填that。
【8】考查固定短语。句意:由于青霉素的广泛使用,在战争期间,许多生命被救活。due to由于,该短语是固定短语,所以填to。
【9】考查名词单复数。句意:由于青霉素的广泛使用,在战争期间,许多生命被救活。Many修饰可数名词复数,所以填lives。
【10】考查最高级。句意:青霉素成为21世纪最伟大的药。文中表示“最伟大的”,所以填greatest。
小题7考查强调句。解题的关键在于准确判断出强调句。英语强调句型的基本结构是“It+be+被强调成分+that (who)…”。在该结构中,It was…that (who)… 为强调句的结构词,原则上说,若将其去掉,句子意思依然清楚、结构依然完整。如:1. It was Jack who stole our money. 是杰克偷了我们的钱。若去掉it was…who…,即为:Jack stole our money. 杰克偷了我们的钱。2. It was in May that you can see this kind of flower. 你在五月可以看到这种花。若去掉it was…that…,即为:In May you can see this kind of flower. 你在五月可以看到这种花。若去掉It was…that (who)…结构词,句子意思则不通、结构则不完整,那么就可能不是强调句。
