2.It seemed that nowhere was too far for him to visit.
似乎对他而言,没有什么地方是遥不可及的。
精 讲:本句It是形式主语,seem用于固定句型“It seems that+从句”。
运 用:It seems that they are hungry. = They seem (to be) hungry.似乎他们饿了。
因此,原句可改为Nowhere seemed too far for him to visit.
注意:nowhere表示否定,而“too…to do”也是表示否定的,并且该句型常与“so…that… 互换”。

3.At the end of each voyage, Zheng He returned with many things that were seen in China for the first time, such as a giraffe from Africa.
航行结束后,郑和带着许多在中国从未见过的东西归国,比如来自非洲的长颈鹿。
固定短语:at the end of表示“在……末期、末端、底”,如at the end of March 三月底
解 析:介词短语with many things表伴随,that were seen in China for the first time是定语从句,先行词是many things,此时的that可用which替换。such as相当于介词like。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
第一节 阅读理解:阅读下列短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
Each year there are at least five million people around the world
who develop serious flu (流感), and almost half a million deaths. When
someone we know gets the flu virus (病毒), we expect them to be very
careful not to pass it on to others. Doctors and nurses working with flu
patients also need to protect themselves from the virus. But what is the
best way to do this? This is the question that Professor Jonathan Van-Tam is trying to answer. He wants to find out how flu is transmitted (传播), so that he can stop doctors and nurses getting sick.

Since 2008, Van-Tam has been in charge of an international group studying how the flu virus travels. For the first time, 41 volunteers agreed to live together. They lived in a clinic (诊所) in Cambridgeshire for two weeks, where they came into contact with the flu virus.
Van-Tam explains their methods.“Everyone lives together in the small space for four days. Some wear face masks, and wash hands every 15 minutes, but some have no protection. In this way we can study who catches the flu and which ways of transmitting flu are important.”

The experiment (试验) is not simple. At the moment the team are working on three studies. Van-Tam believes that if this type of study works well, the results will help decide what protection people need working in hospitals with flu patients around the world. And perhaps it could decline the number of deaths from flu each year.
