Ⅰ.难句解构
1.教材原句:This year's Nobel Prize in 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.
学会断句:本句是复合句,whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin是定语从句,修饰先行词 Tu Youyou,a crucial new treatment for malaria是 artemisinin的同位语。
尝试翻译:今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予了屠呦呦(共同获奖者),她在研究中发现了青蒿素,这是一种治疗疟疾的关键新药物。
2.教材原句:In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients.
学会断句:这是一个主从复合句。主句为Tu Youyou went to Hainan,表示地点的关系副词where引导定语从句, 介词短语In the beginning作状语;动词不定式短语to study malaria patients作目的状语。
尝试翻译:起初,屠呦呦前往海南研究疟疾病人,在那儿疟疾更常见。
3.教材原句:They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either.
学会断句:本句是but连接的并列句,句中boiling fresh wormwood和using the liquid作tried的并列宾语,obtained from this是过去分词短语作定语,修饰liquid。
尝试翻译:之后,他们尝试煮沸新鲜的青蒿,使用从中获得的液体治疗疟疾,但还是不起作用。
4.教材原句: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.
学会断句:本句是and连接的并列句。the Chinese government formed a team of scientists是一个简单句,with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria作后置定语,修饰a team of scientists; Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen是另一个简单句,过去分词chosen作后置定语,表示被动,修饰名词短语the first researchers。
尝试翻译:1967年,中国政府组建了一支以探索治疗疟疾新方法为目的的科学家队伍,屠呦呦是其中首批入选的研究人员。
Ⅱ.写作佳句

(2026·广州市三校高二期中联考)
Nuclear expert Peng Shilu once said that he only did two things in his entire life: one was to build nuclear submarines (核潜艇), and the other to build nuclear power plants.Despite being one of the founding members of China's nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task.In fact, he held leading positions in most of China's early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations.
Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union.In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life.At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major.Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China's nuclear power.
In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system.In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction.
During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles.In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China.
Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96.The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions.

(2026·湖北省襄阳部分学校高二检测)
On Oct.6, three scientists were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.They discovered how the body stops its own immune system from turning against itself, a process vital for preventing autoimmune (自身免疫性) diseases.
The immune system performs a remarkable balancing act.On a daily basis, it must accurately identify and destroy a great many foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria, many of which have gradually developed into what look like our own cells.The critical question was: what system ensures this defense force does not harm the body it is meant to protect?
For a long time, the thymus (胸腺), a small organ in the chest, was considered the central area for establishing “immune tolerance”. It was thought to remove attacking cells during early development.However, this theory could not fully explain the body's continuous self-control.
The revolutionary change began with the work of Japanese scientist Shimon Sakaguchi.Through a series of innovative experiments on newborn mice in the 1980s and 1990s, he made an unexpected discovery that removing the thymus led to autoimmune disorders, suggesting that the organ was not just removing harmful cells but was also the source of specialized protective cells.After a decade of strict investigation, Sakaguchi definitively identified a new class of cells in 1995, which he named “T-regs”.
In the beginning, the scientific community met this discovery with a lot of doubt, since the existence of these “peacekeeper” cells was a completely new idea.The crucial confirmation came from the work of American scientists Mary Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell.Their research in the late 1990s and early 2000s detailed the precise systems: T-regs either produce calming proteins or deliver direct signals to take control of other attacking immune cells.Furthermore, they identified a specific protein called FoxP3, which acts as a key switch for T-reg function, providing a clear marker for their study.
The discoveries of these three scientists have proved that immunity is not merely an attacking force but is under constant, active control.This essential knowledge has opened up new roads for treating autoimmune conditions, improving organ transplant capacity, and even developing more effective cancer treatments, showcasing the significant impact of understanding the body's internal safeguards.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。三位科学家荣获2025年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖,他们揭示胸腺可产生调节性 T 细胞,通过免疫耐受机制防止免疫系统攻击自身,为自身免疫病治疗、器官移植与癌症疗法研发提供新方向。
5.What does “immune tolerance” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The process of avoiding self-attack.
B.The function in producing immune cells.
C.The ability to destroy viruses and bacteria.
D.The tendency of losing continuous self-control.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段内容可知,免疫耐受指的是身体避免免疫系统攻击自身细胞的过程,即避免自我攻击的过程。故选A。
6.What can be inferred from Sakaguchi's experiment?
A.The result was immediately accepted.
B.The thymus failed to remove harmful cells.
C.T-regs were confirmed to produce calming proteins.
D.The thymus had a previously unknown protective function.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段“Through a series of innovative experiments on newborn mice in the 1980s and 1990s …but was also the source of specialized protective cells.”可知,Sakaguchi的实验表明胸腺不仅清除有害细胞,还产生专门的保护细胞,即胸腺具有先前未知的保护功能。故选D。
7.What is mainly mentioned about the discovery in the last paragraph?
A.Its remaining challenges.
B.Its impact on our body.
C.Its wide applications in medicine.
D.Its success in curing illnesses.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。通读最后一段可知,最后一段主要提到了这一发现对医学的广泛应用,包括治疗自身免疫性疾病、提高器官移植能力和开发更有效的癌症治疗方法。故选C。
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.T-regs: Body's Peacekeepers
B.Thymus: Centre of Creating Cells
C.Side Effects of the Immune System
D.Fight Against Autoimmune Diseases
答案:A
解析:标题归纳题。文章围绕2025年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖展开,介绍了三位科学家的核心发现:胸腺并非仅清除有害免疫细胞,还能产生名为“调节性T细胞(T-regs)”的保护性细胞。这些细胞通过特定机制调控免疫系统,避免其攻击自身(即“免疫耐受”),该发现为自身免疫病治疗、器官移植优化及癌症疗法研发开辟了新路径。故选A。

For over three decades, Chinese medical teams have been transforming healthcare in Guyana, South America.Since 1993, these committed doctors have worked alongside local professionals, bringing expertise, hope and recovery to thousands.
Currently, the 20th medical team from Nantong, Jiangsu Province—consisting of 11 doctors—operates at Georgetown Public Hospital, providing essential services in eye care, bone care, burns, and traditional Chinese medicine.
Their impact is deeply personal.Longtime patient Chinian, a 65-year-old, suffered from serious eye problems and severe diabetes (糖尿病).He expressed his gratitude to these Chinese doctors for saving his sight: “I couldn't see before.I am so thankful to the doctors and China for this treatment.” Dr.Huang Xiaobo, who sees up to 50 patients daily, thinks Guyana has high eye disease rates because of strong sunlight and diabetes.He feels very happy to ease people's pain, and loves it when locals say “ni hao” and “xie xie” upon seeing the team.
Beyond eye care, lives are saved in critical situations.Seven-year-old Aiden suffered burns over 30% of his body.Burn specialist Dr.Gong Zhenhua used advanced Chinese techniques to get Aiden out of danger.“We've adopted many Chinese methods for burn patients,”noted Dr.Gong, ensuring continuity of care upon discharge.
Beyond direct treatment, the teams' influence extends far.For over 30 years, they have trained local healthcare workers, fundamentally strengthening Guyana's medical system.Georgetown Hospital CEO, Robbie Rambarran, emphasized this knowledge sharing: “The Chinese teams help us develop self-reliance—training staff, building skills and passing on what they know.” Guyana Medical Council chairman Navin Rambarran highlighted groundbreaking introductions like a new hip replacement method, helping patients recover faster.
Since September, the 20th team alone has treated nearly 7,000 patients, handled over 1,600 hospitalizations, performed 700 surgeries, and saved almost 100 critically ill individuals.Team leader Du Boxiang stressed their broader goal: “Building a global community of health is central.We work together to build local abilities and contribute to global health governance.”

(2026·福建省厦泉五校高二上联考)
Stephen Hawking was a scientist known for his work with black holes and relativity, and the author of popular science books like A Brief History of Time.
Hawking was born on January 8,1942, in Oxford, England. 1 The political climate was also tense.The couple was living as Frank Hawking undertook research in medicine.
Hawking's father wanted him to go into medicine. 2 That was evident to his mother, who, along with her children, often stretched out in the backyard on summer evenings to stare up at the stars.“Stephen always had a strong sense of wonder,” she remembered.“And I could see that the stars would draw him.”
Early in his academic life, Hawking, while recognized as bright, was not an exceptional student. 3 But Hawking focused on pursuits outside of school; he loved board games, and he and a few close friends created new games of their own.During his teens, Hawking, along with several friends, constructed a computer out of recycled parts for solving rudimentary mathematical equations.
4 He would later calculate that he averaged about an hour a day focusing on school.And yet he didn't really have to do much more than that.In 1962, he graduated with honors in natural science and went on to attend Trinity Hall at the University of Cambridge for a Ph.D.in cosmology.
5 The next few years were a fruitful time for Hawking and his research.In 1973, he published his first, highly-technical book, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, with G.F.R.Ellis.
A.Hawking's birth came at an improper time for his parents, who didn't have much money.
B.With his sister Mary, Hawking devised different entry routes into the family home.
C.He loved to dance and also took an interest in rowing, becoming a team coxswain (舵手) in college.
D.But at an early age, Hawking showed a passion for science and the sky.
E.By his own account, Hawking didn't put much time into his studies.
F.In 1968, Hawking became a member of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.
G.During his first year at St.Albans School, he was the third from the bottom of his class.
