5、tural cross-breeding program thats been going on farms in Nevada and Washington since the 1980s.

6、pped.When you cut into a normal onion, it releases a compound called lachrymatory-factor synthase, and when that hits your eyes, your body produces tears. Now, the interesting thing about regular onions is that the amounts of lachrymatory-factor synthase increase the longer the vegetables are stored

7、, so the older they are, the more you will cry. In Sunions, on the other hand, the levels of that annoying compound drop as time goes by, until it no longer has any effect on your eyes when you cut it.Thats what Sunion growers are claiming anyway, but reports from those lucky enough to have tried th

9、s that tearless onions are now a real thing.

18、“刺激性气味”之意。故选B项。4.D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中The first Sunion batches hit the shelves of grocery stores in December,but well probably start seeing them in most grocery shops and supermarkets in the next few years,as more people learn about them.可知作者对Sunion的未来很有信心。故选D。B语篇解读马来西亚一位摄影记者拍摄了中国植树造林改造荒漠计划的实施和取得的成就。1.ho

19、ping考查非谓语动词。逗号后的部分应该是非谓语动词作状语。hope与其逻辑主语China之间是主动关系,所以要用v.-ing形式。2.a考查冠词。句意:植树造林战略是一个大规模的与沙漠化作斗争的尝试。考查不定冠词表示泛指意思:一次大规模尝试。3.Roughly考查副词。粗略估计,中国有一百万平方英里的土地被沙漠覆盖着。句首用副词形式来修饰整个句子。4.has reduced考查动词时态。空格处是从句的谓语,根据时间状语in recent years可知此处要用现在完成时,且主语是单数形式,故填has reduced。5.works考查动词时态。but连接两个并列的谓语动词lives和works。6.on考查介词。此处表达:记录下人类对地貌产生的影响。根据have an influence on可知答案为介词on。7.plans考查名词复数。他拍摄了中国北方戈壁沙漠的植树造林计划。根据下一句中的代词They可知此处要用复数形式。8.successful考查形容词。这些计划在一些地方好像非常成功。空格处要用形容词作表语。9.where考查定语从句。空格处引导的是定语从句,修饰先行词places,where在定语从句中充当地点状语。10.it考查It is/was+adj.+to do sth.句式。表达“做某事是的”,其中it作形式主语。
