41、020年诺贝尔化学奖的报道。解析：1考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。句意：2020年诺贝尔化学奖被颁发给埃玛纽埃勒沙尔庞捷和珍妮弗A.道德纳。根据句中的2020可知，应用一般过去时，且award 与主语the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，且主语为单数。故填was awarded。2考查介词。句意：两位女性科学家是因开发基因组编辑方法而获奖。设空处表示“因为”，用介词for，win the prize for.意为“因为而获奖”。故填for。3考查名词。句意：基因编辑在全世界范围内广泛使用。设空处前有冠词a，应使用其单数名词形式。故填a
42、pplication。4考查副词。句意：它(基因编辑)能直接地改变一个生命体的DNA设空处修饰谓语动词change，应用副词形式。故填directly，direct 作副词时强调直接和某人打交道。5考查形容词。句意：并且它(基因编辑)很可能带来有利的结果。设空后为名词results，应用形容词修饰。故填beneficial。6考查定语从句。句意：基因编辑最方便的方法之一被称为 CRISPR/Cas9，这是由这两位诺贝尔奖获得者发现的。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，先行词是 CRISPR/Cas9，指物，只能用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。7考查非谓语动词。句
43、意：这种方法使科学家能够将一组DNA切成两段，让大自然来“修复”它。分析句子成分可知，allow与谓语动词enables之间无连词，故要用非谓语形式，allow与其逻辑主语之间为主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故填allowing。8考查非谓语动词。句意：在修复过程中，将引入错误来创造一个不同的DNA序列，从而得到一个编辑过的基因。edit与其逻辑主语gene之间为被动关系，应用过去分词作定语，修饰gene。故填edited。9考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。句意：在未来，这一发现有望对生命科学产生革命性的影响，并使治愈某些疾病的梦想成真。It is expected/said/reported/believed thatsb. is expected/said/reported/believed to do sth.意为“人们期望/据说/据报道/人们相信”，expect与主语之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。主语为单数且时态为一般现在时。故填is expected。10考查连词。句意：由于新冠疫情的影响，今年斯德哥尔摩将不举行传统的诺贝尔颁奖典礼，但将举行网上颁奖仪式。根据句尾的instead 及语境可知，设空处应填表示转折的连词。故填but或yet。
