Question

【題目】閱讀與表達(dá)(問答式)

China has its first Nobel Prize in Science. And the winner, 84-year-old Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, also became the first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize. She won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with William C. Campbell, an Irish-born researcher, and Satoshi Omura of Japan. The three winners will share the prize of 8 million Swedish crowns ($920,000).

Half of the Prize was given to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura for their new treatment against illness caused by roundworm parasites (寄生蟲). Tu Youyou won the other half of the Prize for developing a medicine, Artemisinin(青蒿素), which can help people fight malaria(瘧疾). More than 240 million people in Africa have benefited from the treatment, according to the WHO (World Health Organization), and more than 1.5 million lives have been saved since 2000, thanks to the medicine.

Tu Youyou started her research in 1969 when she was chosen as the director of a government project to find anti-malaria medicines. She and her workmates studied ancient Chinese medicine books and many different traditional treatments. They did nearly 200 experiments before they finally succeeded in getting the material Qinghaosu, later known as Artemisinin, in the 1970s. This medicine became the standard treatment for malaria in the WHO's list of important medicines.

Premier Li Keqiang congratulated Tu for winning the Prize. He said, "Tu's winning the prize shows China's progress in scientific and technological field, and marks a great contribution of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to human health."

Although it's a late honor for Tu and the world's recognition of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tu's winning the first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine makes Chinese scientists encouraged and confident to achieve more success in the future.

【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：八十四歲高齡的中國科學(xué)家屠呦呦是中國第一個獲得諾貝爾獎的科學(xué)家，也是第一個中國第一個獲得諾貝爾獎的女性。該文簡要介紹了她和她的同事發(fā)現(xiàn)青蒿素的過程。

【1】根據(jù)第一段中China has its first Nobel Prize in Science. And the winner, 84-year-old Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, also became the first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize.可知84歲高齡的中國科學(xué)家屠呦呦是中國第一個獲得諾貝爾獎的女性。所以作答Yes, she is.

【2】根據(jù)第一段中She won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with William C. Campbell, an Irish-born researcher, and Satoshi Omura of Japan.可知中國女科學(xué)家屠呦呦和一名日本科學(xué)家及一名愛爾蘭科學(xué)家分享2015年諾貝爾生理學(xué)或醫(yī)學(xué)獎。所以作答Three.

【3】根據(jù)第二段中Tu Youyou won the other half of the Prize for developing a medicine, Artemisinin(青蒿素), which can help people fight malaria(瘧疾).可知屠呦呦獲得諾貝爾獎是因為她發(fā)現(xiàn)了可以幫助人們對抗瘧疾的青蒿素，所以作答For developing a medicine, Artemisinin, which can help people fight malaria.

【4】根據(jù)第三段中She and her workmates studied ancient Chinese medicine books and many different traditional treatments. They did nearly 200 experiments before they finally succeeded in getting the material Qinghaosu, later known as Artemisinin, in the 1970s.可知屠呦呦和她的同事研究了中國古代醫(yī)學(xué)書籍和許多不同的傳統(tǒng)治療方法。他們之前做了近200個實驗才成功地發(fā)現(xiàn)青蒿素，所以作答They studied ancient Chinese medicine books and many different traditional treatments, and did nearly 200 experiments.

【5】根據(jù)短文描述可知屠呦呦是一個偉大的/有創(chuàng)造力的/辛勤工作的/k可敬的科學(xué)家等等，只要符合短文內(nèi)容，表達(dá)準(zhǔn)確就可以。所以作答She is a great/hardworking/creative/respectable scientist./ She has made great contribution to saving people s lives./ Her achievement makes Chinese scientists encouraged and confident to achieve more success in the future.
