It is a pleasure for me to write this letter to tell how much 1. _______
I enjoyed my stay in your whole family last week. This was my 2. _______
first visit to a English family. At first, I was worried about my 3. _______
poor English. And when I saw your wife and children waiting for 4. _______
me with warm smile of welcome on their faces. I immediately knew 5. _______
that everything would be all right. There are many more happy 6. _______
memories of the week that I will keep with me forever. I particularly 7. _______
enjoyed driving through the countryside with you and saw the 8. _______
changing colors of the leaves on the trees. I also like the 9. _______
fishing trip. It was such much fun. 10. _______
在tell后加上you。
将in改为with。
将a改为an。
将And改为But(或Yet)。
将smile改为smiles。
去掉more。
此行无错。
将saw改为seeing。
将like改为liked。
在boy前加a。
解析:
1. 此题考查词汇用法。tell需要跟两个宾语,即指人的间接宾语和指物的直接宾语,结构才算完整,故应在tell后加上you。
2. 此题考查介词用法。stay in some place,stay with sb.,注意句中的family指的是“家,家人”,不是指“住宅”意义上的“家”,故应将in改为with。
3. 此题考查冠词用法。在以元音开头的前需用不定冠词an,故应将a改为an。
4. 此题考查语句连贯。前后句之间的转折关系,故将And改为表示转折意义的But(或Yet)。
5. 此题考查名词单复数。smile为可数名词,故应将smile改为复数形式smiles。
6. 此题考查形容词用法。应去掉more,因为此处及上下文中不存在比较前提。
7. 此行无错。
8. 此题考查并列情况。将saw改为seeing,使其与driving并列,共同作enjoyed的宾语。
9. 此题考查时态用法。将like改为liked,使其与上下文的动词时间和形式保持一致。
10. 此题考查词汇用法。much前用so表示程度,故应将such改为so1. 此题考查名词用法。boy是可数名词,第一次提及,需要用不定冠词。故在boy前加a。
As if there weren’t enough of them in the world already, scientists have succeeded in cloning flies. The alike fruit flies are the first insects ever cloned, says the Canadian team that created them. The question everyone asks is why anyone would want to clone flies in the first place. She hopes that the insects , which are very easy to experiment with , will help to adjust the cloning process in other animals and even in humans, where the technique is being researched to aid production of therapeutic (治疗的) stem cells.
In cloning, the DNA-containing nucleus of an adult cell is injected into an egg whose own nucleus(细胞核) has been removed. At the moment, the majority of cloned mice, sheep and other animals die before birth. It is thought this is because the adult DNA is not properly ‘reprogrammed’.
Using flies, researchers might discover genes that are important for this reprogramming, and that have matches in other animals. That is because it is relatively easy in flies to knock out the function of a single gene and then attempt cloning with these cells, which will test whether that gene is important. If such genes are confirmed, then in theory cloned mammalian embryos(晶胚) might be grown in selected solutions that change the activity of those genes to improve the technique’s success rate. Although some groups have attempted to clone insects before, Lloyd says this is the first time it has been successful. The team used a slight difference on the standard cloning process: they transferred nuclei taken from embryos rather than fully-grown adult cells. They sucked several nuclei (pl)out of developing fly embryos, and injected them into a fertilized(已受精的) fly egg. From over 800 early attempts, they cloned five adult insects, the group reports in the journal Genetics.
