Question

【題目】 Have you ever dreamed of meeting top scientists in person? If so, what would you want to ask them? For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No.2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true.

In October, she attended the World Laureates Forum(論壇)for a second time. Tan was by far the youngest participant among the scientists invited to be at the meeting of the world's sharpest minds. Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence(菲波那契數列)and Bézout numbers has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions. This finding has been praised by the famous Canadian mathematician, Professor Rankin. According to Guangming Daily, Rankin has been studying the same theme for five years but with no conclusions.

From a very young age, Tan has always been fascinated by mathematics. This is largely because of the influence of her father, who teaches mathematics in University. But she had not participated in any Mathematics Olympiad exams before. According to Xu Jun, Tan's head teacher from her middle and high school, she doesn't take after-school classes or too many extra exercises either. Her mastering of Further Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method.

Attending this forum enabled Tan to get more inspiration from top scientists. She asked Professor Miesenbock, the 2019 Warren Alpert Foundation Prize winner, what he considered were the best personal qualities for conducting scientific research. Miesenbock encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does. He stressed that people all knew that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb. Tan has met many barriers in her research and often feels upset. The words made Tan feel inspired. "I will keep my curiosity and interests in mathematics and overcome any obstacles(障礙)in my research," she told Chinese Business View.

本文是新聞報道。10月29日，第二屆世界頂尖科學家論壇開幕，全球頂尖科學家匯聚上海，共同探討科學發(fā)展前沿問題。本屆大會還邀請了不少青少年，最年輕的一位就是來自華東師大二附中高一的談方琳同學。談方琳是迄今為止被邀請參加世界上最具頭腦會議的科學家中最年輕的一位

【1】猜測詞義題。第二段提到了Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence(菲波那契數列)and Bézout numbers has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions. 談方琳在數學方面的突出成就。根據下文This is largely because of the influence of her father, who teaches mathematics in University.和Her mastering of Further Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method.可知她數學突出的原因是受父親的影響，并且有好的學習方法。結合上下文可知畫線詞語的句意為：從很小的時候起，談方琳就一直對數學著迷。fascinated “著迷”與attracted同義，故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No.2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true.可知談方琳參加了世界頂尖科學家論壇，已經實現了會見頂尖科學家的夢想。故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據最后一段Miesenbock encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does.和The words made Tan feel inspired. "I will keep my curiosity and interests in mathematics and overcome any obstacles(障礙)in my research," she told Chinese Business View.可知Miesenbock鼓勵她不要失去對她所做的事情的熱情和愛，這些話讓談方琳受到鼓舞，她表示將保持對數學的好奇心和興趣，克服研究中的任何障礙。故選C。

【4】主旨大意題。本文報道的是來自華東師大二附中高一的談方琳同學參加了世界頂尖科學家論壇，成為迄今為止被邀請參加世界上最具頭腦會議的科學家中最年輕的一位。受科學家鼓舞談方琳表示將保持對數學的好奇心和興趣，克服研究中的任何障礙。Top Minds Inspire Student.概括了文章內容，適合作為標題。故選A。
