【分析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了世界上几位致力于改善社会的伟大人物。
1 . 考查非谓语动词。句意:世界上许多伟大的人都以自己的方式致力于改善社会。 devote oneself to doing 表示 “致力于做某事”,故填 improving 。
2 . 考查固定句式。句意:一位来自于英国的女性简 ·古道尔宁愿花时间在非洲野外研究黑猩猩,也不愿过舒适的生活。 would rather do A than do B 表示 “宁愿做 A 也不愿做 B ”,故填 lead 。
3 . 考查时态。句意: 40 年来,她一直直言不讳地说要让世界其他地方理解和尊重黑猩猩。根据时间状语 “ For 40 years ”可知用现在完成时,故填 has been 。
4 . 考查名词。句意:妇科病专家林巧芝是另一位取得巨大成就的女性。作动词 made 的宾语用名词, make achievements 表示 “取得成就”,故填 achievements 。
5 . 考查让步状语从句。句意:有一个又一个故事讲述一天的工作后不管多累,她还要深夜去给贫穷的家庭接生。 no matter how+adj 表示 “不管多么……”,故填 how 。
6 . 考查时态语态。句意:正是由于她的辛勤工作和对病人的关怀,数百名婴儿才得以安全分娩。事情发生在过去, babies 与 deliver 之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,故填 were delivered 。
7 . 考查冠词。句意:第三个例子是袁隆平,世界上第一个种植超级杂交水稻的农业先驱。 a+ 序数词表示 “又一、再”,故填 A 。
8 . 考查不定式。句意同上,当被修饰词前有序数词修饰时,用不定式作后置定语,故填 to grow 。
9 . 考查固定短语。句意:因此,现在联合国在消除世界饥饿的斗争中有了更多的方法。 rid...of… 表示 “去除、让……摆脱……”,故填 of 。
10 . 考查形容词。句意:简而言之,他们的工作令人印象深刻,值得表扬和学习。作 is 的表语用形容词,故填 impressive 。
