真题研练33
Task 1：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
(2016·全国Ⅰ，C)I am Peter Hodes，a volunteer stem cell courier.Since March 2012，I've done 89 trips—of those,51 have been abroad，I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞)in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.In all，from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72 hours at most.So I am always conscious of time.
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America.I picked up the stem cells in Providence，Rhode Island，and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London.But when I arrived at the checkin desk at Providence，the lady on the desk said：“Well，I'm really sorry，I've got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said：“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please，please，you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything.She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，rerouted(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
For this courier job，you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.

C．The operation needs that much time.
D．The ice won't last any longer.

For this courier job，you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.
分析：这是一个主从复合句。that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.是宾语从句，that is potentially going to save somebody's life.是定语从句，修饰先行词something。
译文：对于这份传递员的工作而言，你会自觉地意识到你手中的那个箱子装着可能挽救某人生命的东西。
