39、临床试验等问题, 并就这些问题提出了解决办法。1. 【解析】an。考查冠词。句意:2018年, 美国癌症协会发布了一份令人担忧的报告。report为可数名词, 此处表示泛指, alarming发音以元音音素开头, 需用不定冠词an。故填an。2. 【解析】seeking。考查非谓语动词。句意:报告指出, 20%的临床试验失败的原因是患者登记不足, 56%的寻求治疗的患者不会在其所在地区进行临床试验。分析句子结构, will not have为谓语动词, 空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语, patients和seek为主谓关系, 需填现在分词形式。故填seeking。3. 【解析】has force
40、d。考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:但到目前为止, 新冠肺炎疫情已迫使我们的系统开始着手解决重大缺陷, 并找到改进的方法, 以确保“进程”帮助患者。根据时间状语so far可知, 此处使用现在完成时, 主语为单数名词, 谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填has forced。4. 【解析】participation。考查名词。句意:首先, 我们需要消除阻碍患者参与试验的地理障碍。patient为名词作定语, 所以这里需要用名词作宾语。故填participation。5. 【解析】to travel。考查非谓语动词。句意:在新冠肺炎爆发后, 有几名患者担心他们是否有能力前往我们的试验地点接受治疗。
41、名词ability后面需用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to travel。6. 【解析】scheduled。考查非谓语动词。句意:我们没有停止他们的试验, 而是能够将他们的研究测试转移到当地的一家医院, 并通过远程医疗对他们进行定期的访问。conduct为谓语动词, 空处需填非谓语动词作定语, schedule和逻辑主语visits之间为动宾关系, 需填过去分词形式。故填scheduled。7. 【解析】how。考查宾语从句。句意:第二步是改善我们将患者与临床试验联系起来的方式。空处引导宾语从句, 从句缺少方式状语, 需用连接副词how引导。故填how。8. 【解析】on。考查介词。句意:从历史

45、s own. Last summer my tomato plants gave us dozens of grape-sized tomatoes. I often think back to my grandfather garden. He passed away years ago, but I have ever forgotten to allow the new roots to grow in my garden. 【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在爷爷的影响下爱上了园艺, 即使在爷爷过世之后也仍然不忘在自己的花园种植新的植物。1. 【解析】第一句dirtilyd
46、irty。考查形容词作宾语补足语。句意:园艺是一项会让你不得不把手弄脏的活动。根据句意可知, dirtily在句子中充当hands的补足语, 补充说明手是脏的, 考查的是形容词作宾语补足语。故将dirtily改为dirty。2. 【解析】第二句addedadding。考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知, 句中已有谓语动词try, 没有连词, 可知这是一个简单句, 所以可推断add充当非谓语动词;add与逻辑主语I之间是主动关系, 表示主动要用现在分词形式。故将added改为adding。3. 【解析】第二句varietyvarieties。考查名词复数。variety意为“种类”, 是可数名词;
47、根据前面修饰可数名词复数的a few可知, variety应该用复数形式。故将variety改为varieties。4. 【解析】第三句thatwho。考查非限制性定语从句的关系代词。句意:我知道如何种植是因为我的爷爷, 他热爱园艺并对他在后院种植的豌豆和胡萝卜感到非常自豪。根据句意可知, “that loved gardening and took the great pride in those peas and carrots grown in his backyard”是对my grandfather的补充说明, 所以这是非限制性定语从句;先行词my grandfather指人, 在从
48、句中充当主语;在非限制性定语从句中, 充当主语指人只能用关系代词who。故将that改为who。5. 【解析】第三句去掉the或将thea。考查固定搭配。take a great pride in . . . 或take great pride in. . . 为固定搭配。意为“对感到非常自豪”故the多余, 应去掉或将the改为a。6. 【解析】第四句在devoted和his之间加to。考查固定搭配。句意:整个后院都贡献给了他的植物。根据句意可知, 此处考查固定搭配be devoted to, 意为“献身于, 专注于”。故要在devoted和his之间加to。7. 【解析】第五句hadhav
49、e。考查时态。根据时间状语now可知, 句子描述的是现在的情况, 应该用一般现在时;句子主语为第一人称I, 谓语动词用原形。故将had改为have。8. 【解析】第五句hismy。考查人称代词。句意:我现在有了一套自己的房子和花园。根据句意可知, 房子和花园是属于“我自己的”, 要用of my own来表示。故将his改为my。9. 【解析】第七句grandfathergrandfathers。考查名词所有格。句意:我经常想起我爷爷的花园。根据句意可知, 花园是属于爷爷的, 表示所属关系要用名词所有格。故将grandfather改为grandfathers。10. 【解析】第八句evernev
50、er。考查副词及逻辑关系。句意:虽然爷爷过世好几年了, 但是我从来没有忘记在花园里种植新的植物。根据句子中的转折词but可推断, 尽管爷爷已经去世, 但是作者从没有忘记爷爷教会自己的园艺, 句子中要表达否定含义。故将ever改为never。【点睛】非限制性定语从句作为考试的重点, 要注意把握和限制性定语从句的区别, 特别是关系词的选择。一定要牢记that不能引导非限制性定语从句, 如第4个错误, 就是误用了that来引导非限制性定语从句。同时要牢记在介词后面且指人的关系代词不能用who, 而要用whom, 这也是一个高频考点。. 书面表达为了号召同学们积极参加运动, 强身健体, 你校举办了一次
