Answer 1

【答案】

【1】why

【2】worked

【3】but

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了屠呦呦實驗困難的原因。然而，經過數百次失敗的實驗，他們最終發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種很有前途的化學物質。在動物實驗中效果很好，但他們必須知道它對人類是否安全。當他們準備開始測試時，屠呦呦勇敢地自愿成為第一個人體實驗對象。

【1】

考查關系副詞。句意：這之所以困難的原因是團隊的資源有限。結合句意表示“……的原因是……”固定句型為the reason why…is/was that…。why引導的定語從句。故填why。

【2】

考查動詞時態(tài)。句意：他們沒有足夠的員工，而且他們工作的實驗室空氣質量很差。work在從句中作謂語，且根據上文They did not have enough staff可知應用一般過去時。故填worked。

【3】

考查連詞。句意：在動物實驗中效果很好，但他們必須知道它對人類是否安全。結合上下文語境可知此處為轉折關系，應用連詞but。故填but。
