【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。屠呦呦是中国第一个获得诺贝尔奖的女科学家，她带领她的团队发现了青蒿素，从而挽救了数百万人的生命。

【1】考查连词。空前语境为：青蒿在中国是一种常见的植物；空后语境为：它有治愈致命疾病——疟疾的能力。根据空处前后语境可以判断，两句为转折关系，所以用转折连词but。故填but。

【2】考查时态和主谓一致。根据该句中的“who uses the plant' s special power”可知，该句应用一般现在时。又因主语为 Tu Youyou，所以谓语动词用单数。故填is。

【3】考查时态和语态。根据句中时间状语“On October 5th”可知，用一般过去时。主语Tu与动词award之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填was awarded。

【4】考查动词不定式。当名词前有序数词修饰时，要用动词不定式作后置定语。根据该句中的“ the first native Chinese person”可以判断，该句应用动词不定式作 person的后置定语。故填to receive。

【5】考查it的用法。分析该句结构可知，动词不定式短语“ to fight for the health of all humans”作真正的主语，it作形式主语。故填it。

【6】考査定语从句。分析该句结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词为 medicine，空处在从句中作主语，指物，所以用 which或that引导该定语从句。故填which /that。

【7】考查名词的数。名词recipe为可数名词，根据前面的数词2,000可知，用复数形式。故填recipes。

【8】考査非谓语动词。 spend time doing sth为固定搭配，意为“花费时间做某事”，所以用v-ing形式。故填trying。

【9】考査介词。句意：根据世界卫生组织的数据，全世界大约有2亿人患有疟疾，每年大约有50万人死于疟疾。 suffer from为固定搭配，意为“(因疾病、痛苫等)受折磨”。故填from。

【10】考查形容词最高级。句意：青蒿素仍然是当今世界已知的最有效的治疗疟疾的药物。根据定冠词the，并结合句意可知，这里用形容词最高级形式。故填most effective。

分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如小题6就是考查定语从句。句中先行词为名词 medicine，再分析先行词 medicine在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词 medicine带到从句中可知只能作主语，故确定关系词which或that。
