　　真题演练

　　More people die of tuberculosis (结核病) than of any

　　other disease caused by a single agent. This has probably

　　been the case in quite a while. During the early stages of ___1____

　　the industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh ___2___

　　deaths in Europe’s crowded cities were caused by the ___3___

　　disease. From now on, though, western eyes, missing the __4____

　　global picture, saw the trouble going into decline. With

　　occasional breaks for war, the rates of death and

　　infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily __5___

　　through the 19th and 20th centuries. In the 1950s, the

　　introduction of antibiotics (抗菌素) strengthened the

　　trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were allowed

　　to be imported to poor countries. Medical researchers ___6__

　　declared victory and withdrew.

　　They are wrong. In the mid-1980s the frequency of __7___

　　infections and deaths started to pick up again around the

　　world. Where tuberculosis vanished, it came back; in ___8___

　　many places where it had never been away, it grew better. ___9___

　　The World Health Organization estimates that 1.7

　　billion people (a third of the earth’s population) suffer

　　from tuberculosis. Even the infection rate was

　　falling, population growth kept the number of clinical

　　cases more or less constantly at 8 million a year. Around ____10___

　　3 million of those people died, nearly all of them in poor

　　countries。

　　参考答案及解析：

　　1.in -> for

　　动词为完成式has been，后面的时间状语应该为一段时间。

　　2. seventh -> seven

　　3. were -> was

　　这句话的主语是one in every seven，表示单数概念，谓语要用单数。

　　4. now -> then

　　根据前一句的时间状语During the early stages of the industrial revolution，此处时间应表示“工业革命之后”，所以应该是from then on.

　　5. the - > /

　　Europe是专有名词，无需加定冠词。

　　6. imported -> exported

　　import意为“进口，输入”，export意为“出口，输出”。根据本句大意，进出口的对象为发达国家生产的抗菌素，显然只能“出口”到贫困国家。此外，根据介词也可以判断，import常与from搭配，export常与to搭配。

　　7. are -> were

　　8. vanished 前加 had

　　这句话的意思是：结核病在已经绝迹的地方又卷土重来。从句谓语动词发生在主句谓语动词came之后，故用过去完成时。

　　9. better->worse

　　10. constantyl -> constant

　　副词constantly并不能作状语表示keep的状态，而是说明宾语number的特征。Keep sth + adj.表示“使...保持..."，故将副词改为形容词，constant作宾语补足语。
