Unit 2 Cloning

***阅读理解。
Susan Brownell Anthony was a lady ahead of her time. She fought for women’s rights long before they became a popular issue.
Susan was born on February 15, 1820, in Adams,Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote.
At the age of 15, Susan became a schoolteacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings.
After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the women’s suffrage movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming’s decision. It was not until 1920 that the U.S. Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights.
Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness(肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brownell Anthony dollar.

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 consisting of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students__4__were seeking a natural water filter—one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have __5__(accessible) to modern water filter systems.
The __6__(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 __7__(pour) water containing red dye particles of different sizes through. To their __8__(amaze), they found that it was effective in trapping all the articles. __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.
1.________2.________3.________4.________5.________ 6.________7.________ 8.________ 9.________10.________
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。树木对人类至关重要,本文通过两个实验证明了树木除了能够提供食物、木材、氧气等作用外,还能够隔离细菌。
1.that 考查同位语从句的连接词。第1空后的内容解释说明名词truth的内容,因此设空处引导同位语从句,只起连接作用,不作成分。故填that。
2.Importantly 考查词性转换。此处表示“最重要的是”,应用副词形式,构成固定短语most importantly,故填importantly。
3.was made 考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,此处动词在句中作谓语。根据全文主体时态为一般过去时可知,该句也应用一般过去时;make与discovery之间为动宾关系,故应用被动语态。
4.who/that 考查定语从句的引导词。设空处引导定语从句,在从句中作主语,先行词是scientists and high school students,指人,故用who或that引导。
5.access 考查词性转换。have access to为固定短语,意为“有使用……的机会”。
6.researchers 考查词性转换及名词的数。根据本句中的decided to可知,设空处应填名词作句子主语,指“研究人员”,且由从句中的they可知,故应用复数形式researchers。
9
7.pouring 考查非谓语动词。提示词为动词pour,空前为介词by,其后应用动名词。故填pouring。
8.amazement 考查固定用法。“to one's+名词”为固定用法,意为“令某人……的是”,故填amazement。
9.Encouraged 考查非谓语动词。encourage与主语the team之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故应用过去分词形式,在句中作原因状语。
10.another 考查限定词。根据第10空后的内容可知,这个小组又做了另外一个实验,故填another,意为“另一个”。

This is my fifth day at the summer camp. Life isn't exact what I expected. We have to get up early to make our beds before our teacher Miss Li come to inspect. After breakfast, we have some of free time. Yesterday morning I went fishing, but the only thing I catch was a tree branch. In the afternoon, there are different activity like horseback riding and hiking. They're fun, so nothing new for me. In the evening, everyone is assigned a different task to get dinner ready. Yesterday, I was in charge of prepare the hot dogs, but I accidentally dropped it in the fire. The best part of camp is at night, where we sit around a campfire and tell stories.
答案:
This is my fifth day at the summer camp. Life isn't what I expected. We have to get up early to make our beds before our teacher Miss Li to inspect. After breakfast, we have some free time.

The best part of camp is at night, we sit around a campfire and tell stories.
难项分析:
第一处:exact→exactly 考查副词。此处修饰谓语动词应用副词。
第六处:so→but 考查连词。前后两分句之间为转折关系,故用but。
第十处:where→when 考查定语从句的引导词。此处先行词为at night,关系词指代先行词且在从句中作时间状语,故应用when引导。
