【答案】

1Built

2will be

3replacing

4so

5which

6piling

7was removed

8With

9than

10popularity

【解析】

1Built 考查非谓语动词。句意:建立在一个小城镇,冰屋旅馆吸引了很多的游客。这里从句主语和主句主语一致(it),与动词build之间是被动关系,故用过去分词built

2will be 考查语态。根据后面的时间状语In two weeks’ time(两周之后),可知这里用一般将来时,故用will be

3replacing 考查动名词。句意:我们只是期望取代它。look forward to期待;to是介词,故这里用动名词replacing作宾语。

4so 考查固定句型。so successful that 如此成功以至于。句意:它如此成功以至于Bergqvist设计了现在的这个。故这里填so

5which 考查定语从句。本句是非限制性定语从句,这里用which指代先行词the present one(现在的冰屋)。

6piling 考查固定结构。Spend+ 时间+ indoing 花多少时间做某事。句意:六个工人花了八个多星期堆了1000吨雪在木制的底座上面。故这里填piling

7was removed 考查被动语态。句意:当雪结冰时,底座被移开。根据句意可知,这里应该用被动语态,故填was removed

8With 考查with的复合结构。句意:没有窗户,也没有地方挂衣服。

9than 考查固定结构。more...than...更加,不仅仅是。句意:这似乎更像是生存测试而不是放松的旅馆休息。

10popularity 考查名词。这里作主语,故要用名词形式。句意:冰屋的流行毫无疑问:它正吸引着全世界的旅游者。

【题目】Whatever our differences as human beings are, we all think we’re more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 per cent of our genetic(遗传的)structure with the simple worm.

But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome(染色体组).

To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode(线虫类的)worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and what can be done to make it better.

What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of cells in the human body is programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up.

Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed. When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.

【题目】Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.

Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.

When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.

After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”

In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission (使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.

Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.
