【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria(疟疾). 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 treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although 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(寄生虫).

However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She 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 overseas. No 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 all. One 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 research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their 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 success. Science is never about instant success. Tu 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.

【1】It can be concluded from the text that __________.

I’d like to say anything about the service in our school dining hall. In general, the service is satisfied. The hall is clean and tidy. And dishes look inviting and tastes good. What’s more, the workers there treat us as their friends, which makes us real happy. However, the cost of the meals was a little high. Also, we have only a limited variety of dish which are the same every day. In addition, we often have to stand with line for a long time after we get our food. This wastes a lot of time.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

“A Long Walk Home”-----life as Eli Reed saw it

American photographer and photojournalist Eli Reed has been documenting “life as I saw it” for more than 40 years. His career retrospective(回顾), “Eli Reed: A Long Walk Home”, is an extraordinary search of beauty while recording hardship. With a heart of love, Reed uses a style that uncovers humanity at every turn. According to Reed, “A Long Walk Home” is about what it means to be a human being. It all began with a photo he took of his mother and his memory of her smile.

Raised in New Jersey, Reed was originally a painter. Primarily self-taught in photography, he became a freelance photographer in 1970. After producing some impressive photos that drew much attention, he joined the famous company Magnum Photos---the first black photographer invited to do so.

His photos are remarkable in their lack of judgment of the people or the situations he comes across. In Beirut, Lebanon, a man removes a tree branch from a car in a recently bombed parking lot. An old man wrapped in a sheet plays a drum in front of a sign reading “God Is the Way” while National Guardsmen lift their guns during a war in Miami. A young boy upside down with his legs in the air in a Kenyan refugee camp, his determined look faces the camera. In Harlem, New York, a group of laughing children take over an abandoned car, using it as a jungle gym.

When another photographer might have focused on the sobriety of these situations, Reed’s camera smiles. His images show how humans cope, rise above, and carry on. This is what gives “A Long Walk Home” its power. Considering the places Reed has been to, there are very few photos of guns or obvious violence. Instead, Reed focuses on the varied human responses to hardship.

We smile along with Reed in a gesture of compassion and solidarity. We recognize our fellow human beings.

【1】Why did Eli Reed produce his work “A Long Walk Home”?

A.To pursue his love of photography

B. To keep memories of his mother

C. To help people who are suffering

D. To search for the meaning of life

【2】According to the passage, Magnum Photos_____________.

A. employed Reed in 1970

B. was located in New Jersey

C. only had white employees originally

D. taught Reed the art of photography

【3】 In his work “A Long Walk Home”, Reed’s photos_____________.

A. aim to draw others’ sympathy

B. reflect the strength of humans

C. were taken only in America

D. focus on war and violence

【4】What does the underlined word “sobriety” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

Wrong Reasons for Going to College

A college education can be priceless. 【1】 If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision, you’re probably right to second-guess yourself.

Because all your friends are going.

In only a few weeks’ time, the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places. Not to go will set yourself apart. 2

Because someone else expects it from you.

Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college, or maybe you’re the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there. 3 It’s become so much a part of the air you breathe that you’ve never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you’re ready to go.

4

It’s been tough to find even a summer job. You don’t have an alternative plan. Everyone else is doing it (see above). You think you might as well go to school. That is the lamest(无说服力的)of reasons to spend $ 20,000 or more in the next year.

Because you are afraid you’ll regret it if you don’t go.

Your uncle tells you that he regrets that he didn’t go to college. Others tell you they could have gone so much further in their career if only they had a college education. 5 So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college.

A. Because you don’t want to work.

B. Friends will wonder what’s wrong with you.

C. Because you don’t know what else to do.

D. Everyone seems more excited than you are.

E. It seems that for years everyone has just thought that of course you’ll go.

F. Whatever the story is, there are always people who regret decisions they’ve made.

G. But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons.

Dr Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates that stress and sleep are directly related. Dr Winkle says, 【1】 If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying us.”

2 Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies (多样)a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.

3 People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. 4 Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. 5 Finally, “When you put the light out,” Dr Winkle says, “Concentrate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you’ll be asleep before you know it.”

A. This could be watching TV or listening to music.

B. You eventually fall asleep.

C. The more we worry, the less we sleep.

D. Preparing for sleeping is important.

E. Coffee or tea will keep you awake.

F. A bedtime drink can also help.

G. So, what is a good night’s sleep?
