44、 goal that no needy patient should ever die due to lack of blood in Dehradun and its surrounding areas.(第一段)分析：that 引导同位语从句，解释说明“goal”的具体内容。译文：IMA 血库成立于 1995年，其目标是在 Dehradun及其周围地区不会有贫困的人因为缺血而死亡。1答案与解析：was set考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，动词 set与主语“The IMA Blood Bank”之间是被动关系；又因为时间状语是“in 1995” ，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故用
45、 was set。2答案与解析：of考查介词。此处是介词用于固定短语中，lack of sth.意为“缺少，缺乏” 。故用 of。3答案与解析：moved考查非谓语动词。根据句型结构分析可知，动词 move与句子的主语“Dr.Dipak”之间是被动关系，即 Dr. Dipak被深深地感动了，所以用过去分词作状语，表示被动。故用 moved。4答案与解析：simply考查词性转换。simple 是形容词，意为“简单的” ； simply是副词，意为“简单地，仅仅” 。分析句子结构可知，此处应用副词修饰原因状语从句，意为“仅仅因为” 。故用 simply。5答案与解析：What考查名词性从句。根据
46、句型结构分析可知， “_ began as a small activity”是一个主语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以用 what；又因为是句首，所以要注意首字母大写。故用 What。6答案与解析：the考查冠词。此处是定冠词用于固定短语中，round the clock 意为“日夜不停地” 。故用 the。7答案与解析：To help考查非谓语动词。此处是动词不定式置于句首，表示目的。故用 To help。注意首字母大写。8答案与解析：forms考查名词复数。form 是可数名词，意为“形式” 。因为 form前有“one of”修饰，所以要用复数形式。故用 forms。9答案与解析：healthy考查词性转换。health 是名词，意为“健康” ；healthy 是形容词，意为“健康的” 。be 动词后接形容词作表语。故用 healthy。10答案与解析：creating考查非谓语动词。create 在此处作介词“in”后面的宾语，所以要用动名词的形式。故用 creating。10
