Ⅰ.阅读理解

（2020浙江绍兴高二上期末）
The disease malaria (疟疾) has caused mankind trouble throughout history. In the 1860s as the drug called chloroquine began to lose its effectiveness, malaria began to appear again in Southeast Asia. Every country in the world then poured large quantities of human resources into discovering another antimalarial drug. In 1964, China put forward the plan to break new ground in traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. There was no great discovery until 1981, when Chinese scientist Tu Youyou gave a speech titled “Chemical Research into Artemisinin (青蒿素) ” at an international conference of the WHO. The speech was regarded as a lifeline for malaria sufferers.
Tu Youyou graduated from Peking University Health Science Center. In 1969, just as the research into treating malaria had reached a dead end, 39-year-old Tu, in order to overcome this terrible problem, took on the job as head of a research team of this problem. The first thing Tu did was interview experienced doctors of Chinese medicine. Then she and her colleagues conducted various kinds of experiments on hundreds of kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs, including the artemisia. However, the results were disappointing; even those involving artemisinin, which had been universally well-regarded, were less than satisfactory.
But later, when Tu found a relevant passage written by Ge Hong of the Tsin Dynasty, it occurred to her that high temperatures destroy artemisinin’s effectiveness; it needs a low temperature to work properly. The discovery helped Tu and her research team to think outside the box. Finally, in 1972, artemisinin was found to be one hundred percent effective against the disease!
In 2000 WHO announced artemisinin was a leading antimalarial drug, and promoted it worldwide. So far, it has been playing a great role in the battle against malaria. At the age of 39, Tu began to devote her life to her research. In 2015, at the age of 85, she received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. How did Tu manage to accomplish such a great achievement You probably have the answer to that already.
1. What can be learnt about “chloroquine” from Paragraph 1
A. It contributed to Tu’s great discovery.
B. It was discovered by experts in Southeast Asia.
C. It was a breakthrough out of Chinese medicine.
D. It used to be effective against the disease of malaria.
2. What did Tu Youyou do after reading a passage by Ge Hong
A. She interviewed doctors to collect their experience.
B. She attempted to heat the extract at a low temperature.
C. She made necessary adjustments in each stage of her research.
D. She expanded access to the antimalarial drug around the world.
3. Which of the following can best summarize the main reason for Tu’s success
A. You reap what you sow.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Don’t claim to know what you don’t know.
D. Live and learn through your mistakes or experience.

Born in Chengdu, Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, into a Canadian missionary family in 1915, Crook came into the world. While Isabel Crook’s parents were engaged in setting up schools and educational institutions in Southwest China, Crook herself was more interested in anthropology and the many ethnic minorities in China. She was very curious about what was going on around her.
At the age of 23, Crook graduated from a Canadian college with a master’s degree and began carrying out field research in Li County of Sichuan Province. In 1947, Crook and her journalist husband were warmly welcomed by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to observe and study the revolutionary land reform taking place in China. In 1948 the couple accepted an invitation from the CPC leaders to teach at a newly built foreign affairs school. The school was the forerunner of today’s Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), which has seen over 400 ambassadors (大使) and 1,000 counsellors (参赞) walk through its doors. As a teacher at BFSU she laid the foundations of foreign language education in China.
As two of the first three foreign teachers at the school, Isabel and David Crook brought new Western teaching methodologies to the classroom. Michael Crook noted that since some students were extremely poor during the 1950s and 1960s, his parents were especially sensitive to their harsh situation and did what they could to help them while protecting their self-esteem. For example, they would bring food such as eggs and bread for picnics and share them with students who brought steamed corn bread.
According to the younger Crook, because of his parents’ belief in communism, they chose to use political texts as their teaching materials, such as works once admired by Karl Marx. Understanding that the students would become diplomats representing the People’s Republic of China, his parents tried to help students gain knowledge in different fields to better prepare them for communicating with foreigners in English.
On December 15th 2018, Isabel got the award of “The Most Influential Foreigner throughout 40 Years of China’s Development” from the Chinese government. On September 17, 2019, Isabel was awarded “the Friendship Medal” by the Chinese government for her lifetime of devotion to China.
4. What did Isabel Crook independently do
A. Taught English.
B. Performed field research.
C. Helped the poor students.
D. Introduced new Western teaching ways to China.
5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3
A. In the 1950s, Crook’s husband worked as a reporter in China.
B. Isabel and her husband taught students only with Western teaching methods.
C. Isabel Crook made great contributions to China’s foreign language education.
D. Isabel Crook and her husband were very rich at that time.
6. Which of the following can best describe Isabel Crook
A. Caring.
B. Patient.
C. Strict.
D. Romantic.

Still childless after 13 years of marriage, Mary longed to become a mother. For years she travelled from country to country and visited top experts in the field, but without success. 1 Nonetheless, her grandmother, a Chinese herbalist, gave her hope through a herbal treatment.

This was the point when she made up her mind to carry on her grandmother’s work and devote her life to herbal medicine research, development and promotion. To this end, she invested in a large herbal garden in the suburb of Jakarta, where more than 30,000 plants are grown. 3
Through the application of great effort and resources over many years, Mary’s career has developed well. 4 When she was asked whether it was worthwhile to have devoted much of her life to this research, she firmly responded, “What I have done is to fulfill a promise I once made.
