主题类文拓展阅读 Onwards and upwards Unit 2 1 A (选自人教版选择性必修第一册 UNIT 1) TU YOUYOU AWARDED NOBEL PRIZE 6 October 2015 This year’s Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou(co-winner)，whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin，a crucial new treatment for malaria.Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives，and has led to improved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year，and about 600,000 die from it.Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria，and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone. Tu Youyou，a committed and patient scientist，was born in Ningbo，China，on 30 December 1930，and graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955.After she graduated，she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing.In 1967， the Chinese government formed a team of scientists with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria，and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen.In the beginning，Tu Youyou went to Hainan，where malaria was more common，to study malaria patients.In 1969，she became the head of the project in Beijing，and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease.Her team examined over 2,000 old medical texts，and evaluated 280,000 plants for their medical properties.From their research，they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria. One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever.Tu’s team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect.They then tried boiling fresh wormwood，and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria，but this did not work either.Their project got stuck.However，Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat.She analysed the medical texts again，and by chance，she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties.Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract，she found a substance that worked.After failing more than 190 times，the team finally succeeded in 1971.Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe.Later，the medicine was tested on malaria patients，most of whom recovered.This medicine，which was called artemisinin，soon became a standard treatment for malaria. According to Tu Youyou，the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort.Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize，she said，“The honour is not just mine.There is a team behind me，and all the people of my country.This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine.It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.” 1.What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph? A.A great many people die from malaria every year. B.The reason why Tu Youyou has won the Nobel Prize. C.Malaria has done much harm to the people in Africa. D.Artemisinin is used to treat many kinds of diseases. √ 2.What contributes to Tu Youyou’s discovery according to paragraph 4? A.Her professional knowledge. B.Her personal characteristics. C.The recognition of Nobel Committee. D.Joint effort of her team and the whole country. √ 3.What can we infer from the article? A.Tu was not sure about the value of traditional Chinese medicine. B.Tu and her team had tested many times before they succeeded. C.Tu was modest and was proud of traditional Chinese medicine. D.Tu was clever and determined while doing some research. √ 4.What does the underlined word “promise” refer to in the second paragraph? A.Discovery. B.Possibility. C.Activity. D.Examination. √ 本篇文章是一篇专题新闻报道，主要介绍了2015年10月6日屠呦呦获得诺贝尔生理或医学奖。文章具有新闻专题报道的典型语篇特征，共分成标题(屠呦呦获奖)、时间、导语(屠呦呦获奖及其原因)、主体(屠呦呦生平、研究动机、研究过程)和引用(屠呦呦对获奖的评价)五个部分。通过学习屠呦呦获奖、生平及发现青蒿素的过程，了解屠呦呦的品质特点及思考“什么样的人能获得成功”“天赋和努力在科研道路上哪一个更重要”等问题。 语篇结构 winning discovering committed to fight defeat analysed 1.committed adj.尽心尽力的；坚定的；坚信的 commit vt.承诺；保证 vi.忠于；全心全意投入(工作、活动等) commit oneself to (sth/doing sth/do sth)承诺；保证(做某事、遵守协议或安排等) 2.with the objective of带着……的目标 objective n.目标；目的 adj.客观的 3.botanical adj.植物学的 4.evaluate vt.评价；评估 词汇积累 5.distinct adj.清晰的；清楚的；有区别的 6.acknowledge vt.承认(属实、权威等)；(公开)感谢 7.apparently adv.显而易见；看来；显然 apparent adj.显而易见的，显然的 8.substance n.物质；物品；事实根据 句式分析 This year’s Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou(co-winner)，whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin，a crucial new treatment for malaria.

An expedition to the South Pole with the great Sir Ernest Shackleton—this is the adventure that I have been dreaming of.And I was ready for it.At the age of 19，I am fit and full of vigour.However，when I applied to join the expedition，Shackleton turned me down because he thought I was too young and wasn’t qualified.But I was so enthusiastic about the idea of going along with them that I secretly went aboard his ship，the Endurance，and hid in a small cupboard.Unfortunately， three days after we set off I was discovered.Shackleton did not want to turn back so he offered me a job，but only after he promised me，“If anyone has to be eaten，then you will be the first！” He assigned me to be a steward，and I now serve meals for twenty-eight men，three times a day. How everyone will envy me when I come back and tell them about the amazing places I have been to! 21 Nov,1915 The journey has not been easy.Endurance became stuck in the ice as we approached Antarctica.The ice froze around us and we were well and truly stuck! We saw the ship get crushed by the ice.And when the ship sank，our hearts sank with it. Before we abandoned the ship，Shackleton calmly called us together and told us to rescue our most essential supplies—the small boats，our food，the cook stove，candles，clothes，and blankets.This was no time to panic.We were not allowed to take most of our personal belongings，and Shackleton himself threw away all his gold.But to our surprise，he allowed Hussey to keep his banjo.Hussey often plays it to keep our spirits up. We are now camped on the ice and we have been managing to survive，but spring is coming，and the ice will soon begin to melt. 20 May,1916 We have been struggling for days，but things on Elephant Island are going from bad to worse.We are now crowded together under one of our boats on the rocky shore of this miserable place.Soon after we arrived，Shackleton left us to find help on South Georgia Island,1,320 kilometres away—the voyage was too dangerous and difficult for all of us to make it in our small boats.If Shackleton fails，will we have any hope of rescue? No.No navy in the world ever stops at Elephant Island，and no one else knows that we are here. I feel low.It’s cold and windy.The island has no plants.Sometimes we are able to catch a seal or a penguin to eat.Otherwise，there is no food.I try to think of happier things：decent food，warm and dry clothes，a cosy bedroom，sunny days，and my mother’s face...However，these happy memories are soon interrupted by a sudden cold rush of air. I shouted，“Shut the door！” “Hold on now，Perce.Don’t you go turning into another Tom，” came the reply.“We’ve caught another penguin，so it’s penguin soup tonight！” Bless Frank Wild，the kindest man there is after our leader，Ernest Shackleton.How could I become as selfish and bad-tempered as Thomas Orde-Lees! Without Frank and Ernest，we’d all be dead by now.Their genuine concern for others，their perseverance，and their resolve fill me with hope. Perhaps there is a chance we will return home，after all. 1.What does the passage mainly tell us? A.Perce Blackborow admired Shackleton very much. B.Shackleton took Perce Blackborow to the ship. C.Perce Blackborow’s diary about the great expedition. D.Perce Blackborow missed his mother very much. √ 2.What was Perce’s initial reaction to being turned down by Shackleton for the expedition? A.He gave up and didn’t try again. B.He secretly boarded the ship and hid. C.He contacted the navy for assistance. D.He publicly criticized Shackleton’s decision. √ 3.What happened to the ship? A.It’s frozen. B.It was crushed by ice. C.It’s out of oil. D.It’s useless. √ 4.Why does the expedition regarded as a successful failure? A.Because the expedition failed to reach the South Pole. B.Because the members had to abandon their ship and survive on the ice. C.Because the expedition ultimately led to the discovery of new territories. D.Because despite hardships，the team’s resilience and spirit of unity were demonstrated. √ 本文的语篇类型是日记。日记以第一人称记叙作者的所见所闻所感等。日记具有真实性、灵活性、典型性等特点。本文是“坚忍号”轮船服务员的三篇日记。文章分别描述了少年Perce偷偷登上“坚忍号”、“坚忍号”被困沉没、船员登陆象岛、船长Shackleton组队求援的大致过程。每一件事情都伴着对相关人物的考验，展现了探险家和船员们不畏艰险、不惧困难的精神，引导学生深入思考和探讨有关生存、挫折、情感以及心理等方面的问题。同时，鼓励学生勇于挑战自我，正视人生中的逆境，以乐观坚毅的态度面对挫折。 语篇结构 to join discovered serve the ice a banjo worse to find help hope a chance 1.entry n.条目；记录 2.vigour n.[NAmE vigor]精力；力量；活力 3.qualified adj.合格的，胜任的 qualification n.资格，资历 qualify vt.使具有资格 4.abandon vt.舍弃；抛弃；放弃 5.miserable adj.痛苦的；令人难受的 6.genuine adj.真正的；真诚的；可信赖的 7.resolve v.解决(问题、困难)n.决心，坚定的信念(本文为此义) 词汇积累 句式分析 1.But I was so enthusiastic about the idea of going along with them that I secretly went aboard his ship，the Endurance，and hid in a small cupboard.
