问题     George Washington Carver showed that plant life was more than just food for animals and humans. Carver’s first step was to【S1】______plant parts to find out what they were made of. He then combined these【S2】______isolated substance with other substances to create new products.
    The branch of chemistry that studies and finds ways to use raw【S3】______from farm products to make industrial products is called chemurgy.

All his life Carver battled against the disposal of waste materials, and warned of the growing need to develop substitutes for the【S5】______substances being used up by humans.
    Carver never cared about getting credit for the new products he created. He【S6】______tried to patent(获取专利)his discoveries or get wealthy from them. He turned down offers to leave Tuskegee Institute to become a【S7】______scientist in a private industry. Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light, once offered him a laboratory in Detroit to carry out food【S8】______.

【S1】
选项
答案M
解析 考查动词的使用。根据句法分析，我们可以知道这里缺少动词，再从意思上来看，后半句出现了to find out what they were made of(以便搞清它们的成分)。据此，我们可以确定[M] analyze(分析)为该题答案。全句的意思为"Garver做的第一件事是对植物的各个部分进行分析，以搞清它们的成分”。
