Ⅳ.阅读理解
Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize for her work in helping to create an antimalaria medicine.Her route to the honour has been anything but traditional.In China,she is being called the “three nos” winner:no medical degree,no doctorate,and she's never worked overseas.
In 1967,malaria,a then deadly disease,spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam.A secret research unit “Mission 523” was formed to find a cure for the illness.Two years later,Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”.
“Mission 523” read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria.When she started her search for an antimalaria drug,more than 240,000 compounds(化合物) around the world had already been tested,without any success.Finally,the team found a brief reference to one matter,sweet wormwood(青蒿),which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 AD.The team took out one active compound in wormwood,and then tested it.But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text.After another careful reading,she changed the drug recipe one final time,heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.
After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys,Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human receiver of the new drug.
In any case,Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and enthusiasm.One former colleague,Lianda Li,says Ms Tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”,adding that “if she disagrees with something,she will say it.”
Another colleague,Fuming Liao,who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years,describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”.Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts,she applies them to modern scientific practices.The result has saved millions of lives.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了中国第一位诺贝尔医学奖获得者屠呦呦,并讲述了她利用青蒿素治疗疟疾的研究过程以及周围的人对她的评价。
1.What can we know about Tu Youyou according to Paragraph 1?
A.She has a medical degree.
B.She discovered a cure for malaria alone.
C.Her road to success is not traditional.
D.She is the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Her route to the honour has been anything but traditional.”可知,屠呦呦的成功之路和传统的成功之路完全不一样。故选C。
2.Which word can replace the underlined word “decimating”?
A.Encouraging. B.Killing.
C.Annoying. D.Benefiting.
B 解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“In 1967,malaria,a then deadly disease,spread by mosquitoes was”以及下文“Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam”可知,当时疟疾是一种致命的疾病,通过蚊子传播,这种病可以致人死亡,即这种疾病杀死了在越南作战的中国士兵。故画线词意思是“杀死”。故选B。
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Tu first proposed the idea of using sweet wormwood as a cure.
B.Tu was inspired by medical textbooks published in northern Vietnam.
C.The compound needs to be heated to the boiling point to be effective.
D.Over 240,000 compounds were proved ineffective before Tu's search.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When she started her search for an antimalaria drug,more than 240,000 compounds around the world had already been tested,without any success.”可知,在屠呦呦成功之前,超过24万种化合物已经被证明无效。故选D。
4.Which of the following can best describe Tu Youyou?
A.Devoted and determined.
B.Straightforward and mean.
C.Considerate and tough.
D.Sociable and generous.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容以及最后一段中的“Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts ...The result has saved millions of lives.”可推知,屠呦呦投入研究,且执着地研究了几十年的古代典籍,说明她是有奉献精神且坚定的。故选A。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了北京大学的一位数学老师韦东奕。
1.has been brought 解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在过去几周里,北大的一位数学老师成了焦点人物。根据over the past few weeks可知,本句是现在完成时,由于bring与主语A math teacher是被动关系,因此要用现在完成时的被动语态。又因主语是单数名词,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has been brought。
2.who/that 解析:考查定语从句的关系词。句意:在视频中,他介绍自己是一名普通的学生,毕业于北京大学数学科学专业,是奥林匹克数学竞赛金牌获得者。空格处是限定性定语从句,先行词是students,从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。
3.known 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:网友立即认出这位谦虚的老师是一个大人物,他原来是陈景润的继承者,一个罕见的数学天才——韦东奕。空格处作定语,know与被修饰词shot是被动关系,因此要用过去分词。故填known。
4.held 解析:考查动词的时态。句意:当看到他手拿一杯水,提着一袋蒸馍时,人们被他简朴的生活方式打动了。本句陈述过去的事实,要用一般过去时。故填held。
5.in 解析:考查介词。句意:他于1990年在山东出生,从小他就对数学有着浓厚的兴趣。show great interest in意为“对……表现出极大的兴趣”。故填in。
6.amazing 解析:考查形容词。句意:他在第49届和50届国际奥林匹克数学竞赛比赛中的惊喜表现引起了世界轰动。空格处作定语,修饰performance,常用以ing结尾的形容词。故填amazing。
7.medals 解析:考查名词的数。句意:韦东奕因为满分获得两枚金牌。根据空格前的 two可知,空格处要用名词复数。故填medals。
8.an 解析:考查冠词。句意:在2019年,他完成博士后工作,成为一名助教。空格处表泛指,要用不定冠词,由于assistant以元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
9.sincerely 解析:考查副词。句意:我们真诚地希望,全社会和我们一起为青年学者创造一种能让他们全身心做研究的环境。修饰动词要用副词。故填sincerely。
10.to focus 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意见上题解析。空格处表目的,要用动词不定式。故填to focus。
