Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize,for her work in helping to create an anti-malarial (疟疾) medicine.The 84-year-old’s route to the honour has been anything but traditional.In China,she is being called the “three nos” winner:no medical degree,no doctorate,and she’s never worked overseas.
In 1967,malaria,a deadly disease at that time,spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam.A secret research unit “Mission 523” was formed to find a cure for the illness.Two years later Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”.
“Mission 523” read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria.When she started her search for an anti-malarial drug,more than 240,000 compounds around the world had been tested,without any success.Finally,the team found a brief reference to one substance,sweet wormwood (青蒿),which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 AD.The team took out one active compound (化合物) in wormwood,and then tested it.But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text.After another careful reading,she changed the drug recipe one final time,heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.
After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys,Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient (接受者) of the new drug.In any case,Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion.One former colleague,Lianda Li,says Ms Tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”,adding that “if she disagrees with something,she will say it”.
Another colleague,Fuming Liao,who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years,describes her as a“tough and stubborn woman”.Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts,she applies them to modern scientific practices.The result has saved millions of lives.

Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in Florence,Italy,while her wealthy English parents were travelling in Europe.As a child,she travelled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17,she told her family that she was going to help sick people.Her parents did not approve,but Nightingale was determined.

She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first,the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals.They did not believe that women could help.But in fact,the nurses did make a difference.They worked around the clock,tending the sick.Thanks to their hard work,many wounded soldiers survived.

After Steve Jobs died,his friend Larry Ellison said something like this,“There will never be another Steve Jobs.” 1 Larry wrote this list of Steve’s life lessons to remind us all.

4
Apple is always the best at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of users.It’s empathy (共鸣) that helps Apple achieve this.Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product,he says,“Wow,it’s just what I need.” Remember,you’re King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire.
Don’t mess around with your health.
5 That’s the most important lesson from Steve’s life.It’s great to learn from him now,but the fact is that he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly.Instead,Steve chose a naturopathic (自然疗法) solution that wasn’t effective.When he finally decided to take his doctor’s original advice,it was too late.

C.Get on our right path now.

Donna Strickland was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize for physics jointly with Arthur Ashkin and Gérard Mourou.It’s the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this famous prize,but why has it taken so long We look at five other pioneering female physicists—past and present—who actually deserve the prize.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Perhaps the most famous snub (冷落):then-student Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967,when she was a PhD student at Cambridge.The Nobel Prize that recognised this landmark discovery in 1974,however,went to her male supervisor,Antony Hewish.Recently awarded a ￡2.3million Breakthrough Prize,which she gave away to help under-represented students,she joked to the Guardian,“I feel I’ve done very well out of not getting a Nobel Prize.”
Lene Hau
Hau is best known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light,before managing to stop it completely in 2001.Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists,could 2022 be Hau’s year
Vera Rubin
Rubin discovered dark matter in the 1980s,opening up a new field of astronomy.She died in 2016,without recognition from the committee.
Chien-Shiung Wu
Wu’s “Wu experiment” helped disprove the “law of conservation of parity”.Her experimental work was helpful but never honoured,and instead,her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize for their theoretical work behind the study.
Lise Meitner
Meitner led groundbreaking (开创性的) work on the discovery of nuclear fission.However,the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel Prize for chemistry,which was won by her male co-lead,Otto Hahn.

Born in a musical family in 1925 in New Orleans,Renald Richard spent his childhood filled with music.At the age of 13,he went to see a band perform at a church where he fell in love with trumpet.So,he started lessons on it,and later played it in the high school band.After high school,he was sent into military service and played his trumpet in the United States Navy Band.After ending up studying music at Xavier University of Louisiana,he played clubs on the famous Bourbon Street and also toured with many bands.
In 1954,Richard was approached by Jeff Brown,the manager of musician Ray Charles.He invited Richard to join Ray Charles’ new band.“To be selected by Ray Charles was an honor to me.Ray Charles was exacting,” said Richard.“He was a perfectionist and was rather demanding about his music.”
Renald Richard toured all over the South and West with Ray Charles.Sitting in the back seat of the car on the way to a concert,Richard wrote the song “I Got a Woman” for Charles,which became Ray Charles’ first number one radio hit.In 1954,Renald Richard left Ray Charles’ band.However,he stayed friendly with Ray Charles over the years.He became the high school’s band director in his hometown until 1962.Four years later,he moved again to New York City.Over the years,Richard has written many other songs that have been recorded by artists including Joe Turner,the Beatles,the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley to name but a few.Living now in Southern Florida,Richard is still active at the age of 92.As you can see,Renald Richard’s musical days are by no means near an end.

It is every kid’s worst dream and six-year-old Jaden Hayes has lived it—twice.First he lost his dad when he was four and then last month his mom died 1 in her sleep.
“I tried and I tried and I tried to get her 2 —I couldn’t,” said Jaden.Jaden is understandably 3 .But there’s an improvement on his sadness.A few weeks ago he told his aunt,Barbara DiCola.“He was sick and 4 of seeing everyone sad all the time.And he had a 5 to fix it.And that was the 6 of it,” said Barbara.“That’s where the 7 began.”
Jaden asked his aunt Barbara to buy a bunch of little 8 and bring him to downtown Savannah,Georgia near where he 9 so he could give them away.“I’m trying to make people smile,” said Jaden.Jaden aims at people who aren’t already smiling and then 10 their day around.He’s gone out on four 11 occasions (场合) now and he is always successful.Even if sometimes he doesn’t get exactly the 12 he was hoping for.It is just so hard to 13 for some people that a six-year-old boy would give away a toy— 14 nothing in return—except a smile.
“I’m counting on the 15 to be 33,000,” said Jaden.When asked if he thinks he can make that goal,he answered,“I believe I can.”

People decide to learn another language for many different reasons.Some learn another language because they would like to live in another country. 1 Some people have to study a language at school and others might decide to learn a language just for fun!
Here are some “dos” and “don’ts” to help other language learners.
· 2
Learning a new language can be a hard process that requires a lot of motivation.Try different activities to make your language learning more enjoyable.Why not try watching your favourite TV series in that language or listening to music in that language
·Do write down your mistakes.
3 I like to write the mistakes that I make in a small pocketbook.
·Don’t set unrealistic expectations.
If you have recently started learning another language,it may be unrealistic to expect to be fluent within a couple of months.Be aware that it could take a while. 4 It’s very difficult to have a native accent.The most important thing is that you’re clear and people can understand you.
·Don’t be scared.
5 I worried about my accent,pronunciation,grammar and didn’t make the most of speaking opportunities.Looking back,it seems silly and now I’m more than happy to speak French.Don’t be afraid or overthink it;just be confident and speak.
A.Be confident.
B.Do enjoy it.
C.The same thing goes for accents.
D.Others decide to learn a language because of their job.

Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章从50年来第一位获诺贝尔物理学奖的女性谈起,介绍了另外五位原本有资格获得这个奖项的女科学家。
1.C 根据Jocelyn Bell Burnell中的“then-student Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967,when she was a PhD student at Cambridge.The Nobel Prize that recognised this landmark discovery in 1974”可知,第一个radio pulsars在1967年被发现,被授予诺贝尔奖是在1974年。故选C项。
2.A 根据Lene Hau中的“Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists”可知Lene Hau经常被列于诺贝尔奖预测名单上的榜首,她最有可能获诺贝尔奖。故选A项。
3.D 根据第一段总述中的“It’s the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this famous prize,but why has it taken so long We look at five other pioneering female physicists—past and present—who actually deserve the prize.”可知Donna Strickland是50年来第一位获诺贝尔物理学奖的女性,而文中介绍的5位女科学家都应该获得这个奖,但由于各种原因未能获奖。故选D项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Renald Richard从小喜欢音乐,音乐伴随着他的成长历程,后来加入了名人乐队,收获许多,创作了许多名作,影响很大。
4.A 推理判断题。根据文章涉及不同时间状语,如“ in 1925”,“At the age of 13”,“After high school”,“After ending up studying music at Xavier University of Louisiana”,“In 1954”,“until 1962”,“at the age of 92”等,可知本文是以时间线索贯穿整篇文章。故选A项。
5.C 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“He was a perfectionist and was rather demanding about his music.”可知,他是个完美主义者,对音乐要求很高。故exacting意义为“严格的”,符合题意。故选C项。
6.A 主旨大意题。根据文章大意,文章讲述了Renald Richard从小喜欢音乐,音乐伴随着他的成长历程,后来加入了名人乐队,收获许多。所以说,音乐对Renald Richard影响很大,伴随他一生成长。故选A项。
7.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Comments Section on this page”可知文章最有可能来自网站。故选D项。
Ⅶ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。六岁的杰登·海耶斯在幼年失去双亲的打击下,不但坚强地走出了痛苦的阴影,而且发玩具给不开心的路人,让他们以微笑的方式来帮助别人,并打算集齐3.3万个微笑。
1.A 句意:这是每个孩子最恐怖的噩梦,而六岁的杰登·海耶斯却亲身经历了两次。第一次是在他四岁的时候,他失去了自己的爸爸,随后,他的妈妈于上个月在睡梦中猝死。died unexpectedly in her sleep 指“在睡眠中意外地去世”,即猝死。
2.B 句意:杰登说:“我再三尝试叫醒她,但是没有用。”
3.C 句意:杰登的伤心是可以理解的。heart-broken “心碎的,伤心的”,符合句意。
4.A 句意:他厌倦了总是看到人们悲伤的样子。be tired of...“厌倦……”,符合句意。
5.C 根据后文杰登的行动有条不紊可推知,此句句意为“他已经有了改变这种情况的计划”。故C项正确。
6.D 根据下一句中的“began”可推知,此句句意为“这是一个开始(beginning)”。
7.B 根据下文内容可知,杰登分发玩具给不开心的路人,让他们给以微笑,并打算集齐3.3万个微笑。故此处表示“这是此次冒险的开始”。
8.D 根据下文提到的送玩具可知,此处表示“杰登请求他的姑姑芭芭拉给他买一些小玩具(toys)”。
9.C 杰登要求他的姑姑芭芭拉给他买一些小玩具,并且将他带到他居住地附近的市中心。故C项符合句意。
10.B turn their day around 为习惯搭配,意为“扭转他们的一天”。
11.C 句意:他现在已经去了四个不同的场合,并且都很成功。C项符合句意。
12.A 句意:即便有时他没有得到他想要的结果。A项符合句意。
13.B 句意:这对于一些人而言简直是难以拒绝的(refuse),一个六岁的孩子不求回报地分发他的玩具,只是想要个微笑。
14.B 除了微笑,不求回报,只期望别人给以微笑。B项符合语境。
15.C 根据上一段最后提示可知,此处表示杰登的微笑(smiles)目标是收集3.3万个微笑,故C项正确。
Ⅷ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学习一种新语言该做的和不该做的事。
1.D 根据上文“Some learn another language because they would like to live in another country.”可知,这里介绍人们学习另一种语言的原因,和D项“Others decide to learn a language because of their job.”语意一致。
2.B 根据下文“Try different activities to make your language learning more enjoyable.”可知,这部分要介绍享受学习。“Do enjoy it.”符合这段主旨。
3.G 根据下文“I like to write the mistakes that I make in a small pocketbook.”可知,上文也是和错误有关。G项“A person correcting you is a good thing and it will help you improve.”符合语境。
4.C 根据下文“It’s very difficult to have a native accent.”可知,这里介绍了有个当地的口音很难。C项“The same thing goes for accents.”中也提到了accents,而且语意一致。
5.E 根据空后的句子“I worried about my accent,pronunciation,grammar and didn’t make the most of speaking opportunities.”可知,作者对于学习语言不自信,所以选E项。分层跟踪检测(三)

主题语境:人与社会 语篇类型:记叙文
Each year there are at least five million people around the world who develop serious flu (流感),and almost half a million deaths.When someone we know gets the flu virus,we expect them to be very careful not to pass it on to others.Doctors and nurses working with flu patients also need to protect themselves from the virus.But what is the best way to do this This is the question that flu expert Professor Jonathan Van-Tam at Nottingham University is trying to answer.He wants to find out how flu is transmitted,so that he can stop doctors and nurses getting sick.
Van-Tam explains their method,“There are 41 volunteers in my experiment.Some healthy volunteers are made to get flu first.When they show symptoms,other volunteers,usually called recipients (接受者),enter the house.Everyone lives together in the small space for four days.Some of the recipients wear face masks,and wash their hands every 15 minutes,but some have no protection.In this way we can study who catches the flu and which ways of transmitting flu are important.During the four days when they are in contact with the virus,and for the ten days after that,the flu recipients are checked regularly.”
The experiment is not simple and it is very expensive.It is difficult to design correctly,and it is also difficult to plan and carry out.Just one study like this takes about 18 months to organise and needs hundreds of people working on it.But Van-Tam believes it is worth because the results will help to decide what type of protection is needed for people working in hospitals with large numbers of flu patients around the world.And perhaps it could reduce the number of deaths from flu each year.

B.To reduce the number of people who die of flu.

D.To find the best way to protect doctors and nurses from the flu.
3.According to the text,which of the statements is true
A.This type of study lasted 8 months.
B.The experiment is neither simple nor expensive.
C.Wearing masks was the best way to protect people from getting flu.
D.Recipients were divided into at least 2 groups to perform the experiment.

A Long Walk Home
I grew up in the south of Spain in a little community called Estepona.I was 16 when one morning,my father told me I could drive him into a remote village called Mijas,about 18 miles away,on the condition that I took the car in to be serviced at a nearby garage.Having just learned to drive and hardly ever having the opportunity to use the car,I readily accepted.I drove Dad into Mijas and promised to pick him up at 4 pm.I then drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car.Because I had a few hours to spare,I decided to catch a couple of movies at a theater near the garage.However,I became so interested in the films that I didn’t pay any attention to the time.When the last movie had finished,I looked down at my watch.It was six o’clock.I was two hours late!
I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I’d been watching movies.He’d never let me drive again.I decided to tell him that the car needed some repairs and that they had taken longer than expected.I drove up to the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently in the corner.I apologised for being late and told him that I’d come as quickly as I could,but the car had needed some major repairs.I’ll never forget the look he gave me.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me,Jason.”
“What do you mean I’m telling the truth.”
Dad looked at me again.“When you did not show up,I called the garage to ask if there were any problems,and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car.So you see,I know there were no problems with the car.” A feeling of guilt ran through me as I weakly confessed to my trip to the movie theater and the real reason for my being late.Dad listened attentively as a sadness passed through him.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
“I’m angry,not with you but with myself.
My protests and apologies were useless.
答案：
Ⅰ.1.summary 2.daring 3.originally 4.prefer 5.remains
Ⅱ.1.summary;summarise 2.original;origins;Originally 3.dare;daring 4.remained;remaining
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了诺丁汉大学的Van-Tam研究流感的传染途径,进而为人们提供保护。
1.B 第一段中的“When someone we know gets the flu virus,we expect them to be very careful not to pass it on to others.”提到了流感病毒的传染,第二段介绍了Van-Tam想找到流感病毒是如何传染的,这对医生和护士很重要,因此得出transmit的意思与pass相近。故选B项。
2.D 根据最后一段中的“But Van-Tam believes it is worth because the results will help to decide what type of protection is needed for people working in hospitals with large numbers of flu patients around the world.”可知,Van-Tam相信这项实验的结果将有助于决定在拥有流感患者的医院工作的人们需要何种类型的保护,故选D项。
3.D 根据第二段中的“Some of the recipients wear face masks,and wash their hands every 15 minutes,but some have no protection.”可知,这些接受者被分为两组:一组戴面罩,每十五分钟洗一次手;一组没有任何保护措施。故选D项。
Ⅳ.
A Great Gift
In memory of the great scientist Qian Xuesen,a statue of him was unveiled and a class named after him was set up in Hainan Middle School during its 95th anniversary celebration.
Qian Xuesen,who was a milestone in China’s history of science,came back to work for his motherland after finishing his further study in America.His arrival brought Chinese hope on the cause of aerospace.Being a pioneer in this field,he contributed a lot to the development of rockets and launched the first satellite for the country.
Such a great gift inspires students to learn from excellent scientists’ spirits and become a man like them.
Ⅴ.
“I’m angry,not with you but with myself.You see,I realise that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me.I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father.I am going to walk home now and think seriously about where I have gone wrong all these years.” “But Dad,it’s 18 miles.It’s dark.You can’t walk home.”
My protests and apologies were useless.Dad began walking along the dusty road.I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind,hoping he would change his mind.I begged all the way,telling him how sorry I was,but he simply ignored me,continuing on silently,thoughtfully and painfully.For 18 miles I drove behind him,at a speed of about five miles per hour.Seeing my father in so much physical and emotional pain was the most sad experience that I had ever faced.However,it was also the most important lesson.I have never lied to him since.
