dmicrobiology”可知，不止一個(gè)領(lǐng)域，所以要用復(fù)數(shù)形式fields，故填fields。【17題詳解】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：該船獨(dú)特的推進(jìn)系統(tǒng)提高了安全性，使其能夠在惡劣的海況下甚至在超級(jí)臺(tái)風(fēng)期間運(yùn)行。句中謂語(yǔ)是improves，空格處用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，Theship’suniquepropulsion(推進(jìn))system和enable之間是主謂關(guān)系，因此空格處用現(xiàn)在分詞表主動(dòng)，作狀語(yǔ)，故填enabling。C閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填空。在未給提示詞的空白處僅填寫1個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~，在給出提示詞的空白處用括號(hào)內(nèi)所給詞的正確形式填空。Inthefuture,wemaynolongerneedchemicalpesticides(農(nóng)藥)tohelpcropsgrow.Chinesescientistshavediscoveredasmallmolecule(分子)called2’cADPRinplantcellsthatcanstimulateimmunity.Thismoleculemaybedevelopedintoanewtypeofbiopesticide.“Oncethisbiopesticideisputintouse,itwillworkwhen____18____(apply)totheplantsurface,”saidWanLi,oneoftheresearchers.“Basedonexistingscientificknowledge,ithasthepotentialtobeusedonvariousplants____19____(fight)manydiseases.”Wanalsomentionedthatthesmallmoleculehasalreadystartedproduction.Thenextstepistocontinuetestingitseffectivenessinthefield,withthehopeofputtingitinto____20____(practice)usesoon.【答案】18.applied19.tofight20.practical【解析】【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹的是研究人員正在研制的一種生物殺蟲劑。【18題詳解】考查狀語(yǔ)從句的省略。研究人員萬里說：“這種生物農(nóng)藥一旦投入使用，在植物表面施用時(shí)就會(huì)起作用。”根據(jù)空格前的連詞when和所給動(dòng)詞apply可知，此處考查狀語(yǔ)從句的省略。when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句應(yīng)該是whenitisappliedtotheplantsurface，從句的主語(yǔ)和主句的主語(yǔ)一致且從句中有be動(dòng)詞is，符合狀語(yǔ)從句省略的條件，可以省略從句的主語(yǔ)和be動(dòng)詞。故填applied。【19題詳解】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：根據(jù)現(xiàn)有的科學(xué)知識(shí)，它有可能被用于各種植物來對(duì)抗許多疾病。beusedtodo“被用于……”是固定搭配，所以空格處應(yīng)該用不定式，作目的狀語(yǔ)。故填tofight。【20題詳解】考查形容詞。句意：下一步是繼續(xù)在實(shí)地測(cè)試其有效性，希望很快將其投入實(shí)際使用。根據(jù)空格后的名詞use可知，空格處應(yīng)該用形容詞practical作定語(yǔ)，修飾后面的名詞use。故填practical。第二部分：閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，38分)第一節(jié)(共14小題;每小題2分，共28分)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。AThankyouforyourinterestinvolunteeringatBrightviewChildren’sResearchHospital.Eachyear,hundredsofvolunteersdonatetheirtimeandprovidemuch-neededsupporttoourpatientsandtheirfamilies.Volunteersserveinavarietyofroles,deliveringthecareandservicesourpatientfamiliesdeserve.Roles:·Playinggamesandprovidingactivitiesforchildren.·Providingtemporarycareinclinical/inpatientsettings.·Deliveringdrinks,toys,andothernecessaryitemsfromvariouscarts.·Providingdirectionsandassistingwithdoors.Qualifications:·Beatleast18yearsofageandnotattendinghighschool.Thoseunder18musthavewrittenpermissionfromaparentorlegalguardian.·Committoatleasteightcontinuousmonthsofservice,includingcompletingthreeormorefour-hourshiftseachmonth.·Passacriminalbackgroundcheck.Backgroundscreeningmayincludecriminalhistory,educationhistory,andcreditreports.·Requiredvaccinations(疫苗接種):Fluvaccinationduringfluseasonandannually;Measles,Mumps,andRubella(MMR);Chickenpox;andTuberculosis(TB)screeningandclearance.VolunteerCodeofConductandEthics:·Donotmakecommitmentsyoumaybeunabletofulfill.Forday-of-eventroles,ifyoucannotappearfororcompletetheshift(s)youregisteredfor,cancelyourregistrationatleastoneweekpriortothescheduledroleorshift.·WhenusingtheInternet,beawareofyoursurroundings.Considerhowyourbehaviormightbeperceivedbypatientsorothersnearby.Neverpostanythingaboutpatientsormembersonsocialmedia,evenifyouomitnamesorthinkyou’veremovedallidentifiers.·Volunteersshouldneverofferadviceorguidancetopatientsaboutmedical,personal,financial,orotherdecisions,evenifasked.Encouragepatientstodiscusstheirconcernswithappropriatestaff.·Itisnotappropriatetobecomefriendswithpatients.Volunteersareencouragedtobefriendly,caring,andsupportivewhilemaintainingprofessionalboundariesandfollowingprofessionalstandards.IfyouhavespecificquestionsaboutindividualvolunteeropportunitiesatBrightview,pleasereadourHospitalVolunteerFAQsorcontactvolunteers@B.21.WhatdovolunteersatBrightviewdo?A.Delivertakeout.
