Passage 3 （24-25高二下·安徽大联考·期末） From ancient medical pioneers to modern scientific innovators, these brilliant minds transformed our understanding of life and health. Ibn Avicenna Avicenna was a Persian, who was regarded as one of the most significant physicians, astronomers, thinkers and writers of the Islamic Golden Age and the father of early modern medicine. He described an early scientific method of enquiry and wrote “The Canon of Medicine” in 1025, which was used as the standard medical textbook in Europe up to the 18th century. Ignaz Semmelweis Bon in 1818, Semmelweis was a Hungarian physician and scientist and an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. At the age of 28, he discovered that the cases of puerperal fever (产褥热) could be greatly cut by simply using hand disinfection (消毒) in childbirth clinics. Even though his methods reduced the death rate to below 1%, his ideas were rejected by the medical community at the time. It wasn’t until 20 years later that his ideas were accepted by the mainstream. Jennifer Doudna Doudna, born in 1964, is an American biochemist known for her pioneering work in CRISPR gene editing — one of the most significant discoveries in the history of biology. This game-changing tool allows researchers to make tiny, precise genetic changes to DNA and has opened a whole new area of research. Doudna was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Emmanuelle Charpentier — the first all-female Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Jex-Blake Jex-Blake was born in 1840. She was an English physician, teacher and feminist who led the campaign to secure women access to a university education. In 1869, Jex-Blake began studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh as part of the “Edinburgh Seven” — the first group of undergraduate female students at any British university.

The book is truly one of the best poetry books of all time because of its staying power for children. The stories of this American poet, author, singer and folk artist have something for everyone. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (1878) Most critics regard it as one of the most typical literary love stories. The author’s Russian tale of unfortunate lovers is filled with fascinating quotes like, “He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.” This one belongs on any book collector’s shelf. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1943) It is a timeless tale of a prince’s journey in search of adventure. What he finds, however, are interactions with adults who leave him so upset. It’s one of the most appealing short books we’ve ever read and also one of the most widely read children’s classics all over the world. The Shining by Stephen King (1977) The master of mystery must be included in any list of books you should read in a lifetime. That’s why you will find it here.

Passage 4 （24-25高二下·安徽合肥·期末） Skip the West End and discover some exciting, theatrical treasures—maybe in a pub or under a railway station—in one of London’s many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium, for a £ 10 ticket, off-West End is the way to go. Theatre 503 Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub, up a very narrow staircase, and beyond a dinky foyer(门厅), you will find yourself at Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time, which is a tight squeeze even then. But it’ s well worth the intimacy(亲密感) that you’ll necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions. King’s Head Theatre Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre, the King’s Head has been in business since the 1970s. The King’s Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed or, indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music, refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun. Soho Theatre An institution that hardly needs introducing, Soho Theatre has been at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades, producing some of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name suggests, the theatre sits in the centre of Soho, and its bar has become a hub for artists and audiences alike. Vaults Theatre A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station, with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative theatre, but it’s also leading the way in accessibility, offering a pay-what-you-can ticket price on Wednesdays and Sundays as of Autumn 2022. 1．What is mentioned about Theatre 503? A．Its creator. B．Its history. C．Its capacity. D．Its popularity. 2．What does King’s Head Theatre feature? A．Keeping itself. B．Reasonable price. C．Being more sensible. D．Beauty in appearance. 3．Which of the following made use of abandoned railways? A．Theatre 503. B．King’s Head Theatre. C．Soho Theatre. D．Vaults Theatre.

Ibn Avicenna Avicenna was a Persian, who was regarded as one of the most significant physicians, astronomers, thinkers and writers of the Islamic Golden Age and the father of early modern medicine. He described an early scientific method of enquiry and wrote “The Canon of Medicine” in 1025, which was used as the standard medical textbook in Europe up to the 18th century. Ignaz Semmelweis Bon in 1818, Semmelweis was a Hungarian physician and scientist and an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. At the age of 28, he discovered that the cases of puerperal fever (产褥热) could be greatly cut by simply using hand disinfection (消毒) in childbirth clinics. Even though his methods reduced the death rate to below 1%, his ideas were rejected by the medical community at the time. It wasn’t until 20 years later that his ideas were accepted by the mainstream. Jennifer Doudna Doudna, born in 1964, is an American biochemist known for her pioneering work in CRISPR gene editing — one of the most significant discoveries in the history of biology. This game-changing tool allows researchers to make tiny, precise genetic changes to DNA and has opened a whole new area of research. Doudna was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Emmanuelle Charpentier — the first all-female Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Jex-Blake Jex-Blake was born in 1840. She was an English physician, teacher and feminist who led the campaign to secure women access to a university education. In 1869, Jex-Blake began studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh as part of the “Edinburgh Seven” — the first group of undergraduate female students at any British university. She was the first female practicing doctor in Scotland and was involved in founding two medical schools for women at a time when no other medical schools were training women. 1．What can we know about Ibn Avicenna? A．He majored in astronomy. B．He developed a new medicine. C．He taught medicine at school. D．He achieved in many fields. 2．What do Semmelweis and Jex-Blake have in common? A．They founded medical institutes. B．They worked in the interests of women. C．They made major discoveries in the same year. D．They gained immediate recognition for their work. 3．Where does the person contributing to genetic engineering come from? A．Persia. B．Hungary. C．The US. D．The UK. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍几位在医学领域取得卓越成绩的科学家。 1．细节理解题。根据Ibn Avicenna中“Avicenna was a Persian, who was regarded as one of the most significant physicians, astronomers, thinkers and writers of the Islamic Golden Age and the father of early modern medicine.(Avicenna是波斯人，他被认为是伊斯兰黄金时代最重要的医生、天文学家、思想家和作家之一，也是早期现代医学之父。)”可知，关于Ibn Avicenna我们能知道他在许多领域都取得了成就。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据Ignaz Semmelweis中“At the age of 28, he discovered that the cases of puerperal fever (产褥热) could be greatly cut by simply using hand disinfection (消毒) in childbirth clinics.(28岁时，他发现产褥热病例可以在分娩诊所通过简单的手部消毒大大减少。)”以及Jex-Blake 中“She was the first female practicing doctor in Scotland and was involved in founding two medical schools for women at a time when no other medical schools were training women.(她是苏格兰第一位女执业医生，在没有其他医学院培训女性的时候，她参与创办了两所女子医学院。)”可知，二者的共同点是工作均围绕女性权益展开。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据Jennifer Doudna中“Doudna, born in 1964, is an American biochemist known for her pioneering work in CRISPR gene editing(Doudna出生于1964年，是一位美国生物化学家，因其在CRISPR基因编辑方面的开创性工作而闻名)”可知，CRISPR基因编辑属于基因工程领域，Doudna是美国人。故选C项。 Passage 4 （24-25高二下·安徽阜阳·期末） 2024 “Chinese Bridge” Competition for Eastern United States Region To provide a platform for young Chinese language learners in the United States to show their proficiency and talents, ignite (点燃) their interest and enthusiasm, and promote Chinese language education in the U.S., the 2024 “Chinese Bridge” Competition in the Eastern United States Region is officially launched for college students, secondary school students, and elementary school students.

If you want to experience the glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium, for a £ 10 ticket, off-West End is the way to go. Theatre 503 Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub, up a very narrow staircase, and beyond a dinky foyer(门厅), you will find yourself at Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time, which is a tight squeeze even then. But it’ s well worth the intimacy(亲密感) that you’ll necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions.
