三、阅读理解
WHAT are scientists They are often described as grey-haired white-coated dull scholars.
But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.
This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wan Ruixue.
At the age of 28 in 2018, Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science; & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.
She focuses mainly on Biomedicine (生物医学) and Molecular Biology (分子生物学) . "Both are cutting-edge (尖端的) technologies at an early stage of development, "she said.
"So, I think they have great potential to be developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China and other leading countries in the world are standing at the same starting line. And in the study of Structural Biology, China is likely to become the leader."
She felt it was her fate to become a biologist. "I grew interested in the natural world when I was very young," she said. In 2009, she entered Sun Yat-sen University.
In her third year at university, she realised that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine. So she e-mailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong, hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.
Shi recognised her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off. Her research on the high-definition 3-D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.
Unlike many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad, Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.
"The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China," she said, adding that the country has great science facilities.
1.What does the underlined word "releasing" in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Giving out. B.Getting over. C.Finding out. D.Taking over.
2.What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting-edge technologies in China
A.Anxious. B.Confident. C.Disappointed. D.Satisfied.
3.What can we learn about Wan Ruixue's journey of becoming a biologist
A.Her teacher led her into the field. B.She finds it's easier than she thought.
C.Her contribution has been recognised. D.She thinks it's boring but worth trying.
4.Which can be the best title of the text
A.China's Breakthrough in Science B.Rising Young Scientists in China
C.Successful Chinese Scientists D.New Image of Chinese Scientists

答案:1-4.ABCB
解析:本文是一篇说明文。中国的青年科学家正在世界舞台上展现他们的才能和本领。万蕊雪就是其中一位,文中介绍了她所取得的科研成就及其求学和科研经历等信息。
1.词义猜测题。根据画线词前的 Young scientists are making their voices heard 可知,年轻的科学家们正在世界舞台上发出自己的声音,也就是“释放”他们的才能和本领。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据第六段内容可知,万蕊雪认为中国的尖端科技研究和其他发达国家站在同一起跑线上,而在结构生物学的研究领域,中国有可能处于领先地位。由此可推知,她对中国的尖端科技的研究是有信心的。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的 At the age of 28 in 2018, Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. 可知,万蕊雪获得了《科学》杂志及 SciLifeLab 颁发的2018年度青年科学家奖,说明她的贡献得到了认可。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。文章开头指出中国的青年科学家们正在世界舞台上展现他们的才能和本领,之后以万蕊雪为例,介绍了她的科研成就及其求学和科研经历等信息。所以文章主要围绕中国冉冉升起的科学新星展开介绍。故选B项。
四、
答案:①an ②with ③has ④were published ⑤easier ⑥producing ⑦to concentrate ⑧truly ⑨curiosity ⑩where
解析:①考查冠词。此处泛指一个智能机器人, 所以应用不定冠词修饰, 且AI的发音以元音音素开头, 所以填an。
②考查介词。provide sb. with sth.给某人提供某物, 所以填with。
③考查时态和主谓一致。句子的主语是"The Washington Post", 是一份报纸的名称, 为单数概念, 且应与上句中的uses时态保持一致, 所以填has。
④考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子成分可知, 空处为句子的谓语, 与句子的主语"850 articles"构成被动关系, 故用被动语态, 且根据and可知, 此处应与earned的时态保持一致, 即一般过去时, 又因为850 articles为复数, 所以谓语动词也应用复数形式, 所以填were published。
⑤考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的and可知, 空处与faster并列, 故用形容词的比较级形式做宾语补足语, 所以填easier。
⑥考查非谓语动词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词做宾语, 空处做介词by 的宾语, 所以填producing。
⑦考查非谓语动词。the ability to do sth.做某事的能力, 此处用不定式做后置定语, 所以填to concentrate。
⑧考查副词。分析句子结构可知, 空处应用副词, 修饰动词benefit, 所以填truly。
⑨考查名词。分析句子结构可知, 空处应为名词, 做介词about的宾语, 所以填curiosity。
⑩考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知, 空处引导表语从句, 在从句中做地点状语; 结合语境可知, 此处表示这些就是我们想让新闻工作者投入精力之所在, 所以填where。
