Passage A
In the early 20th century,a young scientist named Alexander Fleming retumned from a summer vacation to
find something unexpected in his laboratory.He had left a stack of petri dishes containing Staphylococcus
bacteria before his tip.Upon his return,he noticed that one of the dishes had been contaminated by a
mold,and around that mold,the bacteria had been destroyed.This chance observation led to the
discovery of penicillin,the world's first antibiotic.
Fleming's discovery was not immediately embraced by the scientific community.He published his
findings in 1929,but they were largely ignored because he could not isolate and purify the active
substance.It was not until a decade later that a team of scientists at Oxford University-Howard Florey,
Ernst Boris Chain,and Norman Heatley-took up the challenge.They developed methods to mass-
produce penicillin,and by 1944,it was being used to treat wounded soldiers during World War II.The
drug dramatically reduced the death rate from bacterial infections,saving countless lives.
However,the story does not end there.The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of
antibiotic-resistant bacteria.Today,scientists are engaged in a race against time to develop new drugs that
can combat these superbugs.Fleming himself wamed about the possibility ofresistance in his Nobel Prize
acceptance speech in 1945."The time may come when penicillin can be bought by anyone in the shops,"
he said."Then there is the danger that the ignorant man may easily underdose himself and by exposing
his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug make them resistant."
Fleming's accidental discovery underscores the importance of curiosity and observation in science.It also
highlights the dual-edged nature of scientific progress:while a discovery can bring immense benefits,its
misuse can create new problems.The fight against infectious diseases is a continuous cycle of innovation
and adaptation.As we face new threats like COVID-19,the lessons learned from Fleming's work remain
deeply relevant.
()1.What did Fleming observe upon retumning from his vacation?
A.The mold had destroyed all the bacteria in his lab.
B.A mold had killed bacteria in one of the dishes.
C.The petri dishes had all been contaminated by mold.
D.The bacteria in the dishes had grown faster than before.
()2.Why was Fleming's discovery initially ignored?
A.He failed to publish his findings in a major journal.
B.He could not produce penicillin in a usable form.
C.The scientific community was not interested in antibiotics.
D.The Oxford team claimed the discovery for themselves.
()3.What can be inferred about the Oxford team's contribution?
A.They discovered a completely different antibiotic.
B.They found Fleming's original research to be incorrect.
C.They made penicillin practical for medical use
D.They were the first to use penicillin on humans.
()4.According to the passage,what concern did Fleming express in his Nobel speech?
A.The price of penicillin would become too high.
B.The misuse of penicillin could lead to drug resistance
C.The production of penicillin would be too slow
D.Penicillin would have serious side effects
()5.What is the main message of the last paragraph?
A.Scientific discoveries are always beneficial.
B.Scientific progress requires constant caution and adaptation.
C.Fleming's discovery has finally solved the problem of infections.
D.Scientists today should avoid making accidental discoveries.
Passage B
For centuries,the Nile River has been the lifeblood of Egypt,providing water for agriculture
transportation,and daily life.However,in the 1950s,a new threat emerged that would change the lives of
millions of Egyptians forever.The construction of the Aswan High Dam was proposed to control
flooding,provide inigation,and generate hydroelectric power.But the project came with an enormous
hidden cost:the forced relocation of entire communities and the loss ofirreplaceable historical treasures.
The dam's construction began in 1960 and was completed in 1970.It created Lake Nasser,one of the
largest man-made lakes in the world,stretching over 500 kilometers.While the dam brought undeniable
benefits-such as preventing the annual floods that had devastated villages for millenniait also caused
immense cultural and human damage.More than 100,000 people,primarily Nubian communities,were
displaced from their ancestral lands along the Nile.Many were resettled in new towns that lacked the
same sense of community and connection to the niver.
Perhaps the most dramatic impact was on the archaeological sites of ancient Egypt.The rising waters of
Lake Nasser threatened to submerge the temples ofAbu Simbel,built by Ramesses II around 1264 BCE.
In an extraordinary international effort led by UNESCO,the entire temple complex was carefully cut into
large blocks,moved to higher ground,and reassembled between 1964 and 1968.This rescue operation
cost about $40 million (equivalent to over $300 million today)and involved engineers and archaeologists
from more than 50 countries.
The story of the Aswan High Dam is a powerful reminder of the complex trade-offs inherent in large
technological projects.It shows that progress often comes at a price,and that the decisions made by
governments can have profound and lasting effects on both human lives and cultural heritage.Engineers
and policymakers today regularly cite this project as a case study in the importance of considering social
and environmental impacts before embarking on major infrastructure development.
()1.What was the main reason for proposing the Aswan High Dam?
A.To increase the length of the Nile River.
B.To move ancient temples to higher ground.
C.To solve problems related to flooding and energy.
D.To create a larger population in the Nubian region
()2.What does the passage say about the Nubian people?
A.They were well compensated for their relocation.
B.They were forced to leave their homes and culture.
C.They refused to move despite the goverment's orders.
D.They were the main beneficiaries of the dam's construction.
()3.How can the rescue ofAbu Simbel be best described?
A.A small-scale local effort that was easily done.
B.A rapid and simple relocation of a single temple
C.A large,costly,and internationally cooperative effort.
D.A project that failed and the temples were lost.
()4.The word "submerge"in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to:
A.protect
B.cover with water.
C.expose to air.
D.strengthen.
()5.What lesson does the author draw from the Aswan Dam project?
A.Large projects should be completed as quickly as possible.
B.Technological progress should always take priority over culture.
C.Governments must consider social and environmental costs.
D.International cooperation is often more harmful than helpful.
二、完形填空
When Tu Youyou was a child,she suffered from a severe case of tuberculosis.This experience left her
with a deep
to study medicine and help the sick.At the time,there were very few female
scientists in China.but she was
by her parents to pursue her dreams.
In the 1960s,the Vietnam War was raging,and both soldiers and civilians were dying from malaria,a
deadly disease spread by mosquitoes.The Chinese government set up a secret project,known as"Project
523,"to find a cure.Tu Youyou was chosen to lead the research team.
The team began by
ancient Chinese medical texts.They found references to a plant called
qinghao(sweet wormwood)that had been used to treat fevers for over 2,000 years.However,the
traditional method of boiling the plant seemed to
the active ingredient.Tu Youyou realized that
if she used a lower-temperature extraction method,she might be able to preserve the compound
After hundreds of failed experiments,she finally succeeded in extracting a pure substance from qinghao
The first test on a human patient showed
results-the patient's fever dropped quickly
However,the early trials also revealed some side effects.The team needed to run more clinical
to ensure the drug was safe.
Tu Youyou faced many
during this process.The laboratory conditions were poor,and she often
worked long hours without proper rest.In 1972,she even volunteered to be the first human subject to test
the drug's safety,
her own health to the risk
Her dedication paid off.Artemisinin,the drug she discovered,has since saved millions oflives,
for malaria deaths worldwide by more than 20%in the last two decades.In 2015,she was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Tu Youyou's story is a powerful example ofhow persistence,creativity,and a willingness to leamn from
traditional knowledge can
to world-changing discoveries.As she said in her Nobel speech,
"Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world."

In 1961,Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into outer space.His 108-
minute flight aboard Vostok I marked a historic milestone in human exploration.But behind this triumph
lay years of intensive scientific research and engineering work.The Soviet space program,led by chief
designer Sergei Korolev,had to solve countless technical problems,fiom rocket propulsion to life support
systems.Gagarin himself underwent rigorous physical and psychological training.After his flight,
Gagarin became a global celebrity,but he remained humble,often saying that he was just the first person
to be lucky enough to see the Earth from the outside.His journey inspired a generation of scientists and
engineers around the world to push the boundaries of what was possible.Forty-eight years later,in 2009
the United Nations declared April 12 as the International Day of Human Space Flight to celebrate this
achievement.Today,space exploration continues,with new missions aimed at returning to the Moon and
eventually reaching Mars.
1.How long did Yui Gagarin's space flight last?
2.Who was the chief designer of the Soviet space program?
3.What kind of training did Gagarin have to undergo before his flight?
4.How did Gagarin view his own achievement according to the passage?
5.When was the International Day of Human Space Flight established?

The Scientist I Admire Most
The scientist I admire most is Tu Youyou,a Chinese pharmacologist who won the Nobel Prize in
Physiology or Medicine in 2015.She is best known for her discovery of artemisinin,a drug that has
saved millions of lives from malaria.
What makes her achievement so remarkable is that she conducted her research under difficult conditions
in the 1970s,using traditional Chinese medicine as her inspiration.After testing thousands ofherbal
remedies,she finally found the key to treating malaria.Her perseverance and dedication allowed her to
overcome countless obstacles.
Tu Youyou's story has deeply inspired me.It shows that with patience and hard work,even the most
difficult problems can be solved.She also reminds us that great scientific discoveries often come from
combining modern methods with ancient wisdom.I hope to follow in her footsteps and make my own
contribution to science in the future.
