Tofu is rich in minerals that are important for building strong bones and reducing the risk of some diseases. 23021 长难句分析：这是一个复合句。It is said that... 是固定句型，意为“据说……”，其中It为形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。在主语从句中，主语是Shennong，an ancient Chinese emperor 作同位语，谓语是discovered，宾语是tea。when 引导时间状语从句。 2. It is said that Shennong, an ancient Chinese emperor, discovered tea when a tea leaf accidentally fell into a pot of boiling water. 23021 be traced back to 追溯到 3. The origins of porcelain can be traced back to the Han Dynasty in China. e.g. The tradition can be traced back to the 18th century. 这一传统可以追溯到18世纪。 23021 be made from 由...制成（强调原材料经过加工后性质改变） 4. It is made from the cocoons of silkworms. e.g. Paper is made from wood. 纸由木材制成。 be made of 由...制成（强调物理性质未变） e.g. The table is made of wood. 桌子是木头做的。 23021 be named after 以……命名；根据……命名 5. The Silk Road was named after this valuable product. e.g. The bridge is named after the mayor. 这座桥以市长命名。 23021 长难句分析：这是一个复合句。从句是由Although引导的让步状语从句，主语是hundreds of years，谓语是have passed。主句主语是these inventions，谓语是continue，宾语是动词不定式短语。continue to do sth. 是固定搭配，意为“继续做某事”。 6. Although hundreds of years have passed, these inventions continue to inspire and shape modern science and technology. 23021 although 作连词，意为“虽然；尽管”，引导让步状语从句，相当于“though”，二者都不能与but 连用，但可与yet，still 连用。可以转换成用but 连接的句子。 although 作连词，还意为“然而；不过”，引出补充说明的内容，使语气变弱。 敲黑板：even 能和though 搭配，但是even 不能与although 搭配。 e.g. Although/Though he is very tired, he is still working. = He is very tired, but he is still working. 虽然他很累，但是他仍然在工作。 Our team lost, although it was a wonderful game. 我们队输了，不过这是一场精彩的比赛。 23021 3 There are many great inventions and innovations around the globe.
