12、a(瘧疾(n ji) has caused trouble to mankind 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 huge amounts of human resources into discovering another anti-malaria drug

13、 In 1964, China put forward the plan to seek a breakthrough from among traditional Chinese medicinal drugs. 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 w

14、as regarded as a lifeline for malaria sufferers.Tu Youyou graduated from the Medical College of Peking University. In 1969, just as the research into treating malaria had reached dead end, the 39 year-old Tu, in order to overcome this terrible problem, took on the job as head of a research team into

15、 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 artemisinin. However, the results were disappointing: even those involving artemi

16、sinin, which had been universally well regarded, were less than satisfactory.But later, when Tu found a relevant passage written by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), it occurred to her that high temperatures destroy artemisinins effectiveness: it needs a low temperature to work properly.

17、 The discovery pointed to a brand-new direction for Tu and her research team. Finally, in 1972, an extract( R40) of it was found to be one hundred percent effective against the disease!In 2000 the WHO announced artemisinin was a leading anti-malarial drug, and promoted it worldwide. So far, it has b

18、een playing a great role in the battle against malaria. Beginning at the age of 39, Tu devoted her fife-te-her reseach. In 2015, at the age of 85 and as the first Chinese scientist, she received a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. How did Tu manage to accomplish such a great achievement? You pr

19、obably have the answer to that already.1. What can be learnt about “chloroquine”from paragraph1?A. It contributed to Tus 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. Wha

20、t 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 anti-malarial drug around the world.3.

21、Which of the following can best summarize the main reason for Tus success?A. You reap what you sowB. Actions speak louder than words.C. Dont claim to know what you dont know.D. Live and learn through your mistakes or experience.【答案(d n)】1. D 2. B 3. A【解析(ji x)】這是一篇記敘文。主要講述了屠呦呦對(duì)于青蒿素的研究歷程，青蒿素被認(rèn)為(rnwi)

22、是瘧疾患者的救命稻草。85歲的屠呦呦是第一位獲得諾貝爾生理學(xué)或醫(yī)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)的中國(guó)科學(xué)家。【1題詳解(xin ji)】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中In the 1860s as the drug called chloroquine began to lose its effectiveness, malaria began to appear again in Southeast Asia.可知19世紀(jì)60年代，隨著氯喹開(kāi)始(kish)失效，瘧疾開(kāi)始在東南亞重新出現(xiàn)。由此可知，氯喹過(guò)去對(duì)瘧疾是有效的。故選D?！?題詳解(xin ji)】推理(tul)判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中But later, when T

23、u found a relevant passage written by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), it occurred to her that high temperatures destroy artemisinins effectiveness: it needs a low temperature to work properly.可知但后來(lái)，屠呦呦發(fā)現(xiàn)了東晉葛洪(317-420)的一篇相關(guān)文章，她意識(shí)到高溫會(huì)破壞青蒿素的功效：需要低溫才能正常發(fā)揮作用。由此可知，屠呦呦讀了葛洪的一篇文章后她試圖低溫加熱提取物。故選B

24、。【3題詳解(xin ji)】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Beginning at the age of 39, Tu devoted her life to her research. In 2015, at the age of 85 and as the first Chinese scientist, she received a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. How did Tu manage to accomplish such a great achievement? You probably have the answer to t

25、hat already.可知從39歲開(kāi)始，屠呦呦把她的一生都獻(xiàn)給了她的研究。2015年，85歲的她作為第一位中國(guó)科學(xué)家獲得了諾貝爾生理學(xué)或醫(yī)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)。屠呦呦是如何取得如此偉大的成就的?你可能已經(jīng)知道答案了。由此可推知，屠呦呦腳踏實(shí)地，將自己畢生都投入到青蒿素的研究當(dāng)中，故一分耕耘，一分收獲最能概括屠呦呦成功的主要原因。故選A。BWith the average number of children in a British family falling beneath an average of 2.0,the population of the UK has been declining for

26、 quite a few years. The size of the British workforce is declining. This trend (趨勢(shì)) is quite worrying for the British economy.There is a whole range of reasons accounting for the worrying trend. One of them is that British people are new having their children at a much older age than previously, mea

27、ning they have fewer years in which they can have children. Most young People today tend to choose to go university first and build up work experience before getting desired jobs.Expensive houses also play a part. Many young people are forced to stay with their parents early in their careers. So its

28、 not until people are about 30 years old that they can afford to buy their own home, and then they can start to think about settling down and having children.So a British person manages to get a job, get a home and get married. Why isnt he or she then having at least two children on average? The maj

29、or reason is that it is relatively expensive to bring up a child in the UK. Usually both parents need to work to cover their living expenses, which means they then need to pay someone to look after their child during the day, such as nanny (保姆(bom) or nursery school.In addition, uncertainty in the g

30、lobal economy often affects British family size. In face of an economic downturn, young British find it more difficult to find jobs or keep their existing ones This discourages them from having larger families. And with this much pressure on families, its no wonder that the divorce rate remains so h

31、ighTo save the British family, the government is taking active measures, for example , by increasing monthly Child Benefit money and offering increasing amount of government subsidy (津貼(jnti)for parents to claim. There are also laws allowing parents to take more time off work so that they can look a

32、fter their children themselves rather than having to pay others to do it.Lets hope its not too late to save the British family. Otherwise, the British wont have enough time, energy or money to have children. And wheres the fun in that?4. According to the author, what may account for the decrease of

33、UKs population?A. Peoples choice of being single to acquire further education.B. The trend for people to have children at a younger age.C. Larger family size brought by weak global economy.D The relatively high expenses in raising children.5. What does the author mainly imply in the last paragraph?A

34、. It is important to raise peoples awareness of saving the British family.B. It is necessary to reduce subsidies for families and nursery schools.C. It is urgent to handle the present serious situation.D. It is difficult for parents to balance life and work.6. What is the best title for the passage?

35、A. Disappearing Families.B. Declining EconomyC. Increasing DivorceD. Worrying Workforce【答案(d n)】4. D 5. C 6. A【解析(ji x)】【分析(fnx)】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了隨著英國(guó)家庭平均孩子數(shù)量降至2.0以下，英國(guó)人口在過(guò)去幾年里一直在下降。英國(guó)勞動(dòng)力規(guī)模也隨之在下降。這一趨勢(shì)讓英國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)令人擔(dān)憂。文章分析了這種趨勢(shì)產(chǎn)生的原因(yunyn)，以及政府正在采取的積極措施?！?題詳解(xin ji)】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中The major reason is that it is

36、 relatively expensive to bring up a child in the UK. Usually both parents need to work to cover their living expenses which means they then need to pay someone to look after their child during the day, such as nanny or nursery school.可知主要原因是在英國(guó)撫養(yǎng)一個(gè)孩子是相對(duì)昂貴的，通常父母都需要工作來(lái)支付他們的生活費(fèi)用，這意味著他們需要花錢(qián)請(qǐng)人在白天照顧他們的孩子，

37、如保姆或幼兒園。由此可知，作者認(rèn)為，撫養(yǎng)孩子的費(fèi)用相對(duì)較高導(dǎo)致了英國(guó)人口的減少。故選D?！?題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Lets hope its not too late to save the British family. Otherwise, the British wont have enough time, energy or money to have children.可知希望現(xiàn)在拯救英國(guó)家庭還為時(shí)不晚。否則，英國(guó)人就沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間、精力和金錢(qián)去生孩子。由此可推知，處理目前嚴(yán)重的形勢(shì)是緊急的。故選C?！?題詳解(xin ji)】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段中With the

38、 average number of children in a British family falling beneath an average of 2.0, the population of the UK has been declining for quite a few years.可知隨著英國(guó)家庭平均孩子數(shù)量降至2.0以下，英國(guó)人口在過(guò)去幾年里一直在下降。結(jié)合文章主要說(shuō)明(shumng)了英國(guó)出生率的下降導(dǎo)致許多年輕人不愿意組建家庭，故A選項(xiàng)“正在消失的家庭”符合文章標(biāo)題。故選A?！军c(diǎn)睛(din jn)】易錯(cuò)分析第二(d r)題，What does the author mai

39、nly imply in the last paragraph?A. It is important to raise peoples awareness of saving the British family.B. It is necessary to reduce subsidies for families and nursery schools.C. It is urgent to handle the present serious situation.D. It is difficult for parents to balance life and work.本題容易根據(jù)最后一

40、段中的save the British family而錯(cuò)選A選項(xiàng)“提高人們拯救英國(guó)家庭的意識(shí)是很重要的”，注意此處的家庭并不是單純指家庭意識(shí)，而是英國(guó)家庭所面臨的孩子撫養(yǎng)費(fèi)用高而導(dǎo)致英國(guó)人不生孩子的情況，根據(jù)后文Otherwise, the British wont have enough time, energy or money to have children.可知(k zh)否則，英國(guó)人就沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間、精力和金錢(qián)去生孩子。由此可推知，處理目前嚴(yán)重的形勢(shì)是緊急的。故選C。CJapans biggest airline is betting that the future of trav

41、el isnt traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot -called an Avatar -thats controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc. it looks like a cleaner with an iPad attached But the screen displays the daughters face as they ch

Storytellers, travel writers and artists have stimulating(刺激)the sense of armchair tourists for centuries. Its only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become avai

43、lable to the non-wealthy.Yet even as the worlds middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seats, there are signs of a post-travel society coming into being. Concerns about sustainability(可持續(xù)發(fā)展(fzhn)are having an negative influence on carbon-intensive airlines. And the aging of

44、wealthy societies is both slowing down physical travel and creating demand for various ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual (虛擬的)reality offers an attractive response to these trend.Of course, far- out technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesnt plan to start selling

45、Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to achieve: according to one investigation, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANAs traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year .But if

46、the business case for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to soy expand.ANAs robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travels high-tech future.7. “

47、Avatar” is mentioned in paragraph 1 to_.A. display how people travel with the robot “Avatar”.B. introduce a new service offered by Japans biggest airline.C. lead in the topic of virtual travel by providing a vivid scene.D. describe what the robotAvatar looks like and how it works.8.

Whats the writers attitude to virtual technology?A. Uncertain.B. Cauti

50、ous.C. Enthusiastic.D. Optimistic.【答案(d n)】7. C 8. B 9. B 10. D【解析(ji x)】這是一篇(y pin)說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了日本最大的航空公司目前正在致力于開(kāi)發(fā)虛擬旅行技術(shù)，有跡象表明，一個(gè)后旅游時(shí)代正在形成，這是對(duì)富裕社會(huì)的老齡化趨勢(shì)的一個(gè)有吸引力的回應(yīng)。但是虛擬旅行的全球市場(chǎng)還很難預(yù)測(cè)，作者對(duì)此持樂(lè)觀態(tài)度?！?題詳解(xin ji)】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Virtual travel is nothing new, of course.可知當(dāng)然(dngrn)，虛擬旅行并不是什么新鮮事。由此可推知，在第一段中提到“Avata

51、rs”，是為了通過(guò)提供一個(gè)生動(dòng)的場(chǎng)景來(lái)引入虛擬旅行的話題。故選C?！?題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中And the aging of wealthy societies is both slowing down physical travel and creating demand for various ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trend.可知富裕社會(huì)的老齡化不僅減緩了人們的身體旅行速度，也催生了

52、人們對(duì)各種體驗(yàn)世界方式的需求。對(duì)于旅游行業(yè)來(lái)說(shuō)，虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)為這些趨勢(shì)提供了一個(gè)有吸引力的回應(yīng)。由此可推知，從第3段可以推斷，人們選擇虛擬旅行可能是富人變老的結(jié)果。故選B?！?題詳解】詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段中ANA doesnt plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to achieve: according to one investigation, the global market for this kind of technology will be w

53、orth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANAs traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year.可知ANA直到明年才計(jì)劃開(kāi)始銷(xiāo)售Avatars。利潤(rùn)也可能難以實(shí)現(xiàn)：根據(jù)一項(xiàng)調(diào)查，到2023年，這種技術(shù)的全球市場(chǎng)價(jià)值將僅為3億美元左右。相比之下，ANA的傳統(tǒng)旅游業(yè)務(wù)去年帶來(lái)了超過(guò)190億美元的收入。由此可推知，作者說(shuō)“遙遠(yuǎn)的技術(shù)鼓勵(lì)遙遠(yuǎn)的需求”，意思是虛擬旅行的全球市場(chǎng)很難預(yù)測(cè)。故選B。【10題詳解(xin ji)】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段

54、中ANAs robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but theyll almost certainly be a part of travels high-tech future.可知(k zh)ANA的機(jī)器人可能不會(huì)很快取代它的飛機(jī)，但它們幾乎肯定會(huì)成為旅游高科技未來(lái)的一部分。由此可推知，作者對(duì)虛擬技術(shù)持樂(lè)觀態(tài)度。故選D。第二節(jié)（共5小題(xio t)；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文(dun wn)內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Thanks to TV shows like Li
