The truth 1. trees are vital to our life is not a secret. They provide us with food, wood and most 2. (important), oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this list—blocking out harmful bacteria from water.

The discovery 3. (make) by a team 4. (consist) of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students 5. were seeking a natural water filter—one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have 6. (accessible) to modern water filter systems.

The 7. (research), led by Professor Rohit Karnik, decided to turn to trees for help because they could allow liquid to flow through, while blocking out air bubbles.

They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branches of a white pine tree. The people related then tested the wood’s filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through. 8. their amazement, they found that it was effective in trapping all the particles. 9. (encourage), the team conducted 10.

experiment, this time with water that contained bacteria. Sure enough, the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.

答案及剖析:

1.that 考查同位语从句。此处是同位语从句,又因为从句中不缺少成分,故选用连词that。

2.importantly 考查形容词和副词的转换。此处most importantly作状语。句意为“它们为我们提供了食物、木材,最重要的是提供了氧气”。

3.was made 考查谓语动词的时态和语态。the discovery和make之间是被动关系,再根据下文可知,用过去时。

4.consisting 考查非谓语动词。此处是动词-ing短语“consisting of scientists...”作后置定语,修饰team。因为被修饰词team和consist之间是主动关系,故用动词-ing形式。

5.who 考查定语从句。分析句子可知此处为who引导的定语从句,因为先行词是students,并且students在后面的定语从句中充当主语,故用who。

6.access 考查形容词和名词的转换。have access to意思为“使用,接近,可以利用”,是固定搭配。

7.researchers 考查动词和名词的转换。分析该句结构可知,谓语动词为decided,那么能发出这个动作的主语应该为researchers,研究人员,研究者。

8.To 考查介词。to one’s amazement是固定结构,表示“令某人惊讶的是”。

9.Encouraged 考查非谓语动词。此处为分词作状语,主语the team与encourage之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词。

10.another 考查限定词。根据上文可知关于此事做过实验,这次是除了上次以外的另一个实验,故用another,表示“另一个”。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

Nick was born with no arms or legs, but the brave 32-year-old man, plays football and golf, swims, and surfs.Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and enables him to kick.He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.

“I call it my chicken drumstick,” joked Nick, “I’d be lost without it.When I get in the water I float because 80 per cent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller.”

When Nick was born,his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit.His distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.

“When I was 13 I read a newspaper article about a disabled man who had managed to achieve great things and help others,” said Nick, “I realized why God had made us like this- to give hope to others.It was so inspirational to me that I decided to use my life to encourage others and decided to be thankful for what I do have,not to get angry about what I don’t.”

“I tell people to keep on getting up when they fall and to always love themselves,” he said.“If I can encourage just one person then my job in this life is done.” By now, he has visited 35 different countries, touring the world as a motivational speaker.
