Once upon a time, a severe disease broke out in a small country, making people easily infected and casting a shadow on their life. At first, people suspected it was linkedto some kinds of animals,blaming those who ate them or killed them for money. But some didn’t subscribe to this view. Medical workers across the country went to join in the fight,defending the country with their lives. They took effective measures,handled every case of infection immediately and,above all, never gave up on anyone. Thanks to their selfless efforts, people who came down with the disease soon recovered, and the number of infection cases decreased in a short time. Everything was a solid proof that they did a wonderful job in the fight against thevirus.

点拨
高考通常从以下几个角度设题对blame进行考查:
(1)to blame作表语时要用主动形式表示被动意义;
(2)通过非谓语动词结构对blame进行考查;
(3)blame后的介词既可以用on又可以用for,on后跟责怪的对象, for后跟责怪的原因。
★be to blame (for...)(因某事)应受责备;应(为……)承担责任 blame sb. for (doing)sth.责备某人(做了)某事 blame sth. on sb./sth.把某事归咎于某人/某事 ★bear/take/accept/shoulder the blame for sth.为某事承担责任 put/lay the blame for sth. on...把某事的责任归咎于……

1.[北师选必②-6]They realise that it does not matter how attractive the idea linked with/to the product is — most people know and anticipate that the main purpose of the advertisement is to make customers buy the product.
点拨
本题解题前应先分析句子结构,"linked with/to the product"在how引导的从句中作后置定语,修饰从句的主语idea。本题实际上考查的是link...with/to...的被动结构。
2.早在两千多年前,古丝绸之路就把中国和中亚的一些国家联系起来了。
The ancient Silk Road linked China to/with some countries in Central Asia as early as over 2,000 years ago.

点拨
run the red light闯红灯。
3.There are fewer and fewer poor people in China with its economy growing rapidly.
→The number of poor people in China is decreasing/on the decrease with its economy growing rapidly.(用decrease替换)
点拨
表示"减少、降低"的意思时,decrease既可以作及物动词也可以作不及物动词。
★decrease (from...) to...(从……)减少到…… decrease by减少了…… on the decrease在下降中,在减少中 ★increase表示"增长;增加",与decrease的用法相同。
4 defendvt.&vi.保卫;防守 vt.辩解
1.[北师必修①-2]Many martial arts were invented because people needed to defend themselves (they) or protect others.
2.[外研选必①-6]In addition to blogging, taking photos and writing articles about the reef, he made a number of appearances on television to argue in favour of its defence (defend).
3.The dam was built to defend the road from being washed (wash) away by the sea.
点拨
本题解题时不要一看到介词from就下意识填washing,分析句子结构并结合句意"建这个水坝是为了防止路被海水冲走"可知,应用被动结构be done,介词from后用动词-ing形式。
4.看到那条凶猛的蛇,他像箭一样冲过去保护他的儿子。 (读后续写之动作描写)
→①Seeing the fierce snake, he rushed to defend his son like an arrow. (defend)
→②Seeing the fierce snake, he rushed in defence of his son like an arrow. (defence)

4. [北师必修②-5]I am a strong swimmer and very used to swimming in the sea. One day last year, however, something terrible happened/occurred to me.
点拨
break out,take place,happen,come about均可表示"发生",均为不及物动词(短语),没有被动语态。
break out指火灾、战争、打斗等不愉快事件突然开始,爆发。
take place常用来指按计划发生的事,不用于被动语态。
happen常带有偶然的意味,此时用物作主语(可与occur互换),不用于被动语态;还可意为"碰巧,恰好",通常用人作主语,此时不能用occur代替。
come about多指事情已经发生了,但还不知道为什么,常与how连用来要求对方说明或解释事情发生的缘由。

3.[外研必修②-5]He’s so cool!We’re going to keep in touch, so I now have someone to practise (practise) French with!
点拨
本题易误填practising。解答本题时不要一看到此处是"have+宾语+动词"结构,就下意识填practising。分析句子结构且结合句意可知,have在此句中意为"有",而不是使役动词的"使",故此处应用不定式作后置定语修饰不定代词someone。类似的表达还有:have a lot of work to do, have no friends to play with(注意不要忽略介词)等。
4.因为每个人的时间都是有限的,所以我们都应该珍惜时间,努力实现自己的梦想。
(读后续写之主旨升华)
Since everyone’s time is limited, we’re surely supposed to cherish it and work hard to have our dreams realized .
5.非常抱歉让你等了我这么长时间,因为刚才我有一件紧急的事情要处理。 (道歉信)
I am terribly sorry for having you waiting for me for so long ,because I had an urgent thing to attend to just now.
★have+宾语+do sth.:省略to的不定式作宾补,表示"主语使/让宾语干某事"。 ★have+宾语+doing:表示"让……一直做某事",现在分词作宾补,表示持续的动作或状态。 ★have+宾语+done:表示"使某事被做/请人做某事/主语遭遇某事"。

一、阅读理解
A
Scientists researching climate change in Antarctica are studying penguins in an effort to better understand the area’s environmental health. They’re measuring the growth and development of the penguin population on the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula. "We are counting penguin nests to understand how many penguins are in a colony(聚居地), producing young animals every year, and whether that number is going up or down with the environmental conditions," said Alex Borowicz, an ecology researcher at New York’s Stony Brook University.
The work is not easy for climate researchers in the icy, faraway reaches of Antarctica. But penguins are easier to follow than some other kinds of animals — they nest on land. And their black bodies and waste droppings can also be identified against the area’s white background.
Michael Wethington, another researcher from Stony Brook, told Reuters the penguin population can represent overall climate conditions and the health of the area’s whole ecosystem.
The researchers say counts of individual penguins can be combined with data from satellite images to get a more complete picture of how the animals are progressing.
Gentoo penguins prefer open water without broken pieces of ice floating around. So when temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula began rising during the latter half of the 20th century, gentoo populations moved south. "Gentoo penguins don’t like sea ice," David Ainley, a biologist who has been studying penguins for more than 50 years, told Reuters. "They mostly search for food over the continental shelf(大陆架) and don’t go far out to sea."
As sea ice has decreased along the western side of the peninsula, gentoos seem to have got used to the changed conditions. But those same conditions have been worse for the Adélie penguin species. This is because they depend on sea ice for feeding and reproduction(繁殖). "When we find Adélie penguins, we typically know sea ice is nearby," Wethington said. He added that whenever researchers see sea ice decreasing or disappearing, they also see Adélie penguin populations drop sharply.
气候变化一直以来都是人们普遍关注的问题。科学家从未放松对气候变化的研究。一些科学家通过对南极洲企鹅进行观察来研究南极洲的气候变化。
1. Why did the researchers choose penguins as their research subject?
A. Because their colony is in good condition.
B. Because Antarctica has a large population of penguins.
C. Because they are easier to follow and identified than other animals.
D. Because their number changes sharply with the environmental conditions.
解析 C 细节理解题。由第二段中的"But penguins are easier to follow than some other kinds of animals — they nest on land. And their black bodies and waste droppings can also be identified against the area’s white background"可知,研究人员之所以选择企鹅是因为它们更易于跟踪和辨认,故本题选C项。
2. What does the underlined word "picture" in Para. 4 probably mean?
A. Photo. B. Future.
C. Prediction. D.Situation.
解析 D 词义猜测题。结合关键性信息counts of individual penguins,data from satellite images,the animals are progressing以及常识我们不难推知,研究人员通过不同手段收集有关企鹅的各种信息,无非是想对企鹅这一动物族群的"发展状况"有一个更为全面的了解,那么picture在意义上与situation最为接近,故本题选D项。
3.What can we infer about Adélie penguins from the last paragraph?
A. They feed on ice and bring up their babies on ice too.
B. They compete for food and space with gentoo penguins.
C. They are responsible for the decrease or disappearance of ice.
D. They won’t live in the west of the Antarctic Peninsula in great numbers.
解析 D 推理判断题。由"This is because they depend on sea ice for feeding and reproduction(繁殖)"可知,Adélie penguins对海冰依赖性很强。再由"As sea ice has decreased along the western side of the peninsula, gentoos seem to have got used to the changed conditions. But those same conditions have been worse for the Adélie penguin species"可知,南极半岛西侧海冰数量减少,那里的环境条件自然不会适合Adélie penguins大量生存繁衍。综上可知,本题选D项。
4. Which is the best title for this text?
A. Climate Change Has Put Penguins in Danger
B. Scientists Use Penguins to Study Antarctic Climate Change
C. The Present Living Conditions for Penguins in Antarctica
D. Sea Ice Has Different Influences on Gentoo Penguins and Adélie Penguins
解析 B 标题归纳题。通读全文我们不难发现,文章首句是整篇文章的主题句,指明了文章的主要内容:科学家借助企鹅来研究南极洲的气候变化,故B项做文章的标题最佳。

[科技创新/2024湖北武汉部分学校调研]Personalized medicine changes conventional medicine, which typically offers blanket recommendations and offers treatments designed to help more people than they harm but that might not work for you. The approach recognizes we each possess unique characteristics, and that they have an outsize impact on our health.
Around the world, researchers are creating precision tools unimaginable just a decade ago: superfast DNA sequencing(测序), tissue engineering, cell reprogramming, gene editing, and more. The science and technology soon will make it possible to predict your risk of cancer, heart disease, and countless other illnesses years before you get sick. The work also offers prospects for changing genes in removing some diseases.
Last spring, researchers at the National Cancer Institute reported the dramatic recovery of a woman with breast cancer, Judy Perkins. The team, led by Steven Rosenberg, an immune(免疫的) treatment pioneer, had sequenced her cancer cells’ DNA to analyze the changes in the genetic structure. The team also extracted a sampling of immune cells and tested them to see which ones recognized her cancer cells’ genetic faults. The scientists reproduced the winning immune cells by the billions and put them into Perkins to attack her cancer cells. More than two years later, Perkins, a retired engineer from Florida, shows no signs of cancer.
Thirty years ago, scientists thought that it would be impossible to understand our genetic rules and sequence the 3.2 billion pairs of different elements in our DNA. "It was like you were talking fairy tales," RazelleKurzrock said. "The conventional wisdom was that it would never happen. Never! And then in 2003, never was over."
It took the Human Genome Project 13 years, roughly one billion dollars, and scientists from six countries to sequence the first draft of the human genome. Today sequencing costs about a thousand dollars. The latest machines can produce the results in a day. The technology, combined with advanced cell analysis, clarifies the astonishing biochemical variations that make every human body unique.
个性化医疗正在改变常规医疗,基因测序技术的应用便是其具体表现。
