【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、BCD)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria(瘧疾). This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China

Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s healthAlthough she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin(青蒿素), the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites(寄生蟲).

However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditionalShe won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhdIn China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseasNo wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists

The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to allOne shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific researchThere have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole lifeTheir contributions can never be ignoredThey work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one

As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant successScience is never about instant successTu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledgedThere is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get

1It can be concluded from the text that __________

A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research

B. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment

D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate

【題目】While I will explain a bit about the science of stress and relaxation a little later simple way to think about it is that our body 's stress response works like a car alarm. Keep us safe by warning us of the presence of danger in our immediate environment.

But instead of warning us with a loud and annoying sound,our body alarm system lets us know that something is wrong by creating changes in our neurochemistry (神經(jīng)化學(xué)).If you've ever experienced pain in your stomach,periods of extreme anger, inability to focus or even insomnia (失),chances are your body was paying the price in those moments for the brain chemistry of stress.

So if it's so uncomfortable,why not just get rid of stress altogether?

This is not only impractical,it would be dangerous. Let's go back to the metaphor (比喻說(shuō)法)of the car alarm. If the alarm is turned off altogether,the car is exposed to continual danger without there being any way of your knowing about it until it is too late. It would be like walking through the jungle without any fear signal in the presence of a poisonous snake or other dangerous animals while it might feel “nice” to be so relaxed,your body actually needs the stress response not only to remind you of danger but also to offer extra adrenaline (腎上腺素) for your heart and extra blood and oxygen for your arms and legs.

However,if the car alarm goes off at any time,someone just looks at the car with a bit of an attitude,and it becomes equally useless. Not only do we stop paying attention to it,but it begins to drive us and everyone around us becomes a little bit crazy. In the case of our bodies,walking around in a constant state of alarm also has some pretty alarming health consequences,which we will explore in greater depth in the next chapter.

【1】Our body's stress response is compared to a car alarm in that .

A. they work all the time B. they both give a signal

C. they work in the same way D. they both produce a sound

【2】When our body alarm system works, .

A. we feel calm

B. we feel excited

B. some changes happen in our brain

D. some changes happen in our heart

【3】What would happen if stress were got rid of completely?

A. We'11 be free of worries.

B. We'11 achieve a sense of safety.

C. We'11 reach a perfect state of mind.

D. We'11 fail to realize the possible danger.

【4】 What's the purpose of giving the example of walking through the Jungle in Paragraph 4?

A. To show the harm of stress.

B. To show the effect of stress.

C. To explain the function of stress response.

D. To explain the necessity of stress response.

【題目】Watercolor is the oldest paints known. It dates back to the early cave men who discovered they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the walls of caves by mixing the natural colors found in the earth with water.

Fresco(壁畫), one of the greatest of all art forms, is done with watercolor. It is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster(灰泥). Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelo's heroic ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, very few know that they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.

It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. The English have a widely-known love for the outdoors and also small, private pictures. The softness of watercolor had a remarkably strong attraction for them.

The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until in the twentieth century. The United States passed England as the center for watercolor, producing such well-known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.

A. The gradual weakness of fresco painting.
