Worse still, some old medicines were no longer working. Scientists were racing against time to find new ways to fight the disease. At that time, Tu Youyou, a young researcher in Beijing, joined a national project to develop an anti-malaria drug. In 1969, she became the head of the research group. She believed that ancient Chinese medical texts might hold the answer, so her team read over 2,000 ancient medical texts（古代医籍）and studied hundreds of plants. One day, Tu Youyou found an important sentence in a book written in the fourth century. It said that sweet wormwood（青蒿）could be used to treat a fever. The team tried to use it, but the first experiments failed. Tu Youyou did not give up. She studied the old text again and realized that high temperatures might have destroyed the useful part of the plant. By using a lower temperature, her team finally got a substance（物质）that worked. After more than 190 failures, they succeeded in 1971. To make sure the medicine was safe, Tu Youyou and two of her teammates tested it on themselves first. Later, it was used on malaria patients, and most of them recovered. The medicine, called artemisinin（青蒿素）, soon became a standard treatment for malaria. According to the World Health Organization, the malaria death rate fell by about 60% between 2000 and 2015, and millions of lives were saved. In 2015, Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She was the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize in science. In 2019, BBC even shortlisted her as one of the four greatest scientists of the 20th century, together with Marie Curie, Albert Einstein and Alan Turing. When she received the prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country.” 16. Why did scientists in the 1960s have to find new medicines? A. Because malaria was spreading to new countries.　 B. Because some old medicines were no longer useful.　 C. Because there were too many sick people.　 D. Because a new kind of malaria appeared. 17. What made Tu Youyou’s team finally succeed? A. Reading more ancient books.　 B. Asking patients for help.　 C. Testing the medicine on themselves.　 D. Using a lower temperature to treat the plant. 18. What does the underlined word “standard” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Widely used. B. Very cheap. C. Easy to make.D. Perfectly safe. 19. Why does the writer mention the number “60%” in Paragraph 3? A. To show how hard the research was.　 B. To tell readers malaria is still dangerous.　 C. To prove artemisinin has saved many lives.　 D. To compare the two kinds of medicines. 20. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Dangerous Disease Called Malaria　 B. How to Read Ancient Chinese Books　 C. The History of the Nobel Prize　 D. A Quiet Scientist Who Never Gave Up C 请阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 What makes a person admirable? Ask ten people, and you may get ten different answers. Some may say courage, some may say wisdom, and others may say kindness. 21______ But most people would agree on one thing: admirable people do not do great things for themselves, but for others. Many of us look up to famous people. Scientists who spend their whole lives on one question, doctors who save patients day and night, and teachers who light up their students’ future — these people win our respect. 22______ They show us what a person can achieve with hard work and a strong will. However, heroes do not have to be famous. 23______ A father who works two jobs to support his family, a classmate who quietly helps others, or a neighbour who looks after the old people on his street — they may never appear on the news, but their everyday choices make the world warmer. What, then, is the secret of an admirable person? First, they are honest with themselves and others. Second, they are brave enough to do what they believe is right, even when it is hard. 24_____ They may fail many times, but they stand up and try again. Most importantly, admiring someone does not mean copying them. 25______ If a great person’s story touches your heart, let it encourage you to become a better person yourself. In this way, their light lives on in you — and that is the true power of inspiration. A. Their stories are like lamps that light our way. B. Admirable people are always patient with others. C. It means learning from them and growing in your own way. D. The people around us can also be our heroes. E. There is one more thing: they never give up easily. F. We admire them for what they have done for the world. 三、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成下面的信息表。每空不超过三个词。 Around us, there are people whose stories may not be on the front pages of newspapers, but whose work has changed our world. Let’s look at three of them. Wang Yaping is a Chinese astronaut. She is China’s first woman to walk in space. She was also the first woman to teach a live class from space. Millions of students watched her lessons and became interested in science and space. Zhong Yang was a biologist who loved plants and seeds. He believed that seeds hold the key to our future, because important plants must not disappear forever. In 2001, he began to travel across Xizang to collect seeds. Together with his team, he collected more than 40 million seeds from over 1,000 types of plants. He also trained local students so that more people could continue the research. Yuan Longping was known as the father of hybrid rice. He spent his life studying rice so that people would not go hungry. His work helped feed people not only in China but also in many other countries. Who Field What he or she did What we can learn Wang Yaping space China’s first woman to 26______; the first woman to teach a live class from space be brave and keep learning Zhong Yang plants / biology collected over 27______ seeds from more than 1,000 types of plants in Xizang 28______ the value of every seed Yuan Longping 29_____ studied rice so that people would 30______ go hungry work hard for the good of others 四、补全对话（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据对话内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 A school radio programme is interviewing two students, Amy and Kevin, about the people they admire.

A　考查动词短语辨析。look up to“钦佩；尊敬”；look after“照顾”；look for“寻找”；look through“浏览”。由下文“他放弃舒适生活去山村教书”可知人们都“尊敬”他。 2. B　考查形容词辨析。句意：对教师来说，去孩子们最需要他的地方是“重要的”。下文用具体事例说明他为何坚持山村支教。 3. C　考查动词短语辨析。find out“查明；弄清”；give up“放弃”；put off“推迟”；care about“关心”。句意：后来我“了解到”他最初的学校只有一间教室。 4. A　考查连词辨析。前后为转折关系：“生活很艰苦，但陈老师从不抱怨”，故选 but。 5. D　考查形容词辨析。tiring“令人疲倦的”修饰物（journey）；tired“感到疲倦的”修饰人。每天走两小时山路，故为“一段令人疲惫的旅程”。 6. B　考查名词辨析。由后文洪水救人可知最打动“我”的是他的“勇气”，故选 courage。 7. C　考查名词辨析。bravery“勇敢”；patience“耐心”；wisdom“智慧”；kindness“善良”。洪水当天他救人，村民谈论的是他的“勇敢”。 8. A　考查固定搭配。spend time (in) doing sth.“花时间做某事”，故选 helping。 9.

D　细节理解题。由第二段“By using a lower temperature, her team finally got a substance that worked”可知是采用较低温度后成功。 18. A　词义猜测题。standard treatment 意为“标准疗法”，即被广泛采用的治疗方法；结合后文 WHO 数据可知青蒿素疗法被全球推广。 19. C　推理判断题。作者引用“死亡率下降约60%”这一数据，用事实说明青蒿素挽救了大量生命。 20. D　主旨大意题。全文围绕屠呦呦在困境中坚持研究、终获成功展开，“一位永不言弃的安静科学家”最能概括文意。 21. F　前句列举 courage、wisdom、kindness 等品质，F“我们敬佩他们为世界所做的一切”承接“不同的答案”，引出下文“为他人而非为自己”的共性。 22. A　前句提到科学家、医生、教师赢得尊重，A“他们的故事就像照亮我们道路的灯”进一步说明榜样人物的意义。 23. D　本段讲普通人也可以是英雄。D“我们身边的人也可以成为我们的英雄”是段首总起句。 24. E　前句讲“即使困难也勇敢做认为对的事”，E“还有一点：他们从不轻易放弃”与之构成并列递进。 25. C　前句“敬佩一个人不等于模仿他”，C“它意味着向他们学习并以自己的方式成长”与之衔接，且后文“让你成为更好的自己”呼应。 三、任务型阅读 26. walk in space 由原文“She is China’s first woman to walk in space”可得。 27. 40 million 由原文“collected more than 40 million seeds from over 1,000 types of plants”可得。 28. understand / know / realize 由钟扬保护种子、让重要植物不消失的初心可概括出“理解/认识每一粒种子的价值”。 29. farming / rice / agriculture 由“father of hybrid rice”“studied rice”可知其领域为农业/水稻。 30. not 原文“so that people would not go hungry”可直接取 not 填入。 四、补全对话 31. A　Amy 回答“谁是你敬佩的人”，A“我最敬佩我的英语老师”回应话题；E 与下文语境无关，为多余项。 32. C　Kevin 介绍袁隆平，C“他是被称为杂交水稻之父的著名科学家”符合人物介绍。 33. D　Amy 表示也敬佩袁隆平，D“正是他的努力改变了这么多人的生活”承接感叹。 34.

The person I admire most is my mother, a nurse who works in a small hospital. My mother is kind and brave. During the flood last summer, she stayed at the hospital for three days to take care of the sick, although she was very tired herself. She is also patient with everyone. When I fail an exam, she never gets angry. Instead, she sits with me and helps me find out the reasons. It is her encouragement that keeps me going. Her words and actions have taught me that a person becomes admirable not by being famous, but by doing small things well for others. I hope to be a person like her one day. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
