四、阅读理解
Sir Ronald Ross was born in Almora, India in 1857. During his early years, he developed interests in poetry, literature, music, and mathematics, all of which he continued to engage in (从事) for the rest of his life.
Although he had no tendency to study medicine, at the age of 17 he agreed to obey his father's wish to see him enter the Indian Medical Service. He began his medical studies at St. Bartholomew's Hospital MedicalCollege, London in 1874. Later, he developed his scientific interests and took a course in bacteriology.
In 1892 he became interested in malaria and, having originally doubted the parasites' ( 寄生虫的) existence, became an enthusiastic supporter of the belief that malaria parasites were in the blood stream when this was demonstrated to him by Patrick Manson in 1894.
In 1895, Ross began to prove the hypothesis ( 假说) of Alphonse Laveran and Manson that mosquitoes ( 蚊子) were connected with the spread of malaria. However, his progress was hampered by the Indian Medical Service.
On 20 August 1897, Ross made his landmark discovery. While dissecting ( 解剖) the stomach tissue of a mosquito fed four days previously on a malarious patient, he found the malaria parasite and went on to prove the role of mosquitoes in the transmission of malaria parasites in humans.
He continued his research into malaria in India, using a more convenient experimental model, malaria in birds. By July 1898, he had demonstrated that mosquitoes could serve as intermediate ( 中间的) hosts for bird malaria. After feeding mosquitoes on infected (被感染的) birds, he found that the malaria parasites could develop in the mosquitoes, allowing the mosquitoes to infect other birds during following blood meals.
In 1902 Ross was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for his work on malaria, by which he has shown how it enters the organism and thereby has laid the foundation for successful research on this disease and methods of fighting it.” Ross wrote extensively on malaria including his book The Prevention of Malaria in 1911. While Ross is remembered for his malaria work, this remarkable man was also a mathematician, epidemiologist, sanitarian, editor, novelist, dramatist, poet, amateur musician, composer, and artist.
1. What made Ross take up medical studies?
A. His father's expectation.
B. His keen interest in bacteriology.
C. The rapid spread of malaria in India.
D. The invitation from a medical college.
2. What does the underlined word “hampered” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Assisted. B. Evaluated. C. Blocked. D. Monitored.
3. How did Ross confirm Patrick Manson's hypothesis?
A. By closely observing malarious birds.
B. By dissecting dead malarious patients.
C. By finding malaria parasites in mosquitoes.
D. By studying the human blood stream in depth.
4. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Ross' career. B. Ross' hobbies. C. Ross' personal life. D. Ross' achievements.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.C 4.D
【导语】主题语境:人与社会——历史、社会

1. A。细节理解题。由第二段中的Although he had no tendency to study medicine, at the age of 17 he agreed to obey his father's wish to see him enter the Indian Medical Service可知,罗斯并未打算学医,但他的父亲希望他能参加印度的医疗服务,罗斯顺从了父亲的意愿。
2. C。词义猜测题。由划线词前的In 1895, Ross began to prove the hypothesis和However以及下一段中的On 20 August 1897, Ross made his landmark discovery可知,罗斯证明蚊子传播疟疾这一假说的进展受到了印度医疗服务的阻碍。
3.

五、七选五
Cecilia Payne was born in England to highly successful parents. Her father was a fellow of Oxford University, and her mother was a talented artist. She showed a great talent for music. 16 However, it was science that stole her heart. Her mother had told her of a bee orchid, a plant that resembled (类似) a bumblebee, and upon discovering this Payne's mind was set on pursuing a career in science.
As a young adult she won herself a scholarship to study at the University of Cambridge's Newnham College, where she began studying botany, chemistry and physics. 17 After one lecture given by Arthur Eddington on the general theory of relativity, Payne lost sleep thinking about its meaning. Her destiny (命运) had been set, and for the rest of her undergraduate years she majored in physics and became absorbed in astronomy (天文学), her true love.
18 She went there to work with Harlow Shapley and Princeton's Henry Norris Russell, two of the most notable researchers in her field at the time. In just two years, Payne completed her PhD essay on the chemical composition of the stars. Her results proved groundbreaking: the Sun was made up mainly of hydrogen and helium. But Russell disagreed with her findings as they conflicted with the accepted theories of the day. 19 He reached the same conclusion as Payne by different means.
Payne remained at Harvard for the rest of her academic career and grew into a huge success story. In the mid-1950s she made history again by becoming the first woman in her department to be promoted to a professorship. She died of lung cancer in 1979. 20
A. It was here that she met the superstars of physics.
B. She would later go on to become a skilled pianist.
C. It changed the way astronomers understood the universe.
D. Payne gave up her studies under the pressure from Russel.
E. However, Russell stated her findings were correct four years later.
F. After completing her studies in the UK, Payne set sail for Harvard.
G. Now, she is remembered as one of astronomy's most inspirational women.
【答案】16.B 17.A 18.F 19.E 20.G
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了首次提出太阳和其他恒星主要由氢和氦所组成的美籍英国天文学家Cecilia Payne。
16. B。设空处承接上文。B项中的become a skilled pianist和上文中的showed a great talent for music呼应。
17. A。设空处在该段中起承上启下的作用。A项中的here指代上文中的the University of Cambridge's Newnham College。下文中的one lecture given by Arthur Eddington把A项中的met the superstars of physics的行为具体化了。
18. F。设空处是过渡句,承接第二段内容,引出第三段内容。下文中的there指代F项中的Harvard。
19. E。设空处和上文之间是转折关系。E项中的her findings和下文中的the same conclusion是相同的发现。
20. G。该段缺尾句,设空处是对全文的总结。G项是对天文学家Cecilia Payne的评价。
