21、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 Phd． In 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 ignored． They 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 acknowledged． There 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 __________．

A． Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research

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

C． The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work

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

【2】 The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with__________．

A． a sense of national pride

B． relevant academic knowledge

C． a desire to achieve success

D． enthusiasm for scientific research

【3】In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________．

A． inform readers of the news and make comments

B． discourage the pursuit of instant success in science

C． remind readers of the principles of scientific research

D． praise the award winner and encourage scientific research

22、

It was one of the hardest weeks in Michelle Burleson’s life. Her beloved 13-year-old dog, Budgie Lou, just died. There seemed to be nothing in the world that could reduce her pain until she heard a faint (微弱的) knocking on her door.

“When I heard the knock, I opened my back door, but saw nothing until I looked down to see a skinny little squirrel looking up at me”, Burleson told The Dodo.

“I noticed the squirrel was thin, so I found a handful of nuts and threw them on the patio (露台).”

She assumed that would be the end of it, but that same evening the squirrel returned. The frightened animal ran away when Burleson tried to approach her. But it didn’t take long for the two to establish a routine(常规).

“She showed up the next morning at sunrise and again at sundown, like clockwork every day,” Burleson said. “Her daily visits gave me something to look forward to.” Burleson named the squirrel Stymie. “We slowly started trusting each other more and more,” Burleson said. “At first, I was scared she might bite me or something, but she was always very gentle.”

Stymie began treating Burleson’s home as if it were her own, drinking out of Burleson’s old dog bowl and sleeping in the dog bed. “I lived at the beach so I would often leave the door open, but when I didn’t, she’d climb up to knock on the window outside my bedroom,” Burleson said. “There’s no way I would’ve felt better without Stymie showing up one day and putting a little joy back in my life.”

The little squirrel probably has no idea that she changed someone’s life forever. “She was a really great friend at one of the lowest points of my life,” Burleson said. “All I know is that animals are the best.”

【1】How did Burleson feel the week before the squirrel came to her life?

A．Painful.

B．Shocked.

C．Relaxed.

D．Hopeful.

【2】What name did Burleson give to the squirrel?

A．Michelle.

B．Budgie.

C．Dodo.

D．Stymie.

【3】What would the squirrel do when Burleson did not leave the door open?

A．Come for a second time.

B．Knock on the window.

C．Sleep on the patio.

D．Eat the dog food.

【4】What can we learn from the story?

A．Squirrels are the best choice of pets.

B．Names mean a lot to squirrels.

C．People find animals difficult to deal with.

D．Animals can change people’s life.

24、   New data presented this week at the annual Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS) suggest that a student's preferred sleeping schedule has a lot to do with his or her grade-point average in school. In one study, researchers at the University of Pittsburg revealed that poor sleep habits among high schoolers led to lower grades, particularly in math.

It's no surprise that poor sleep habits may negatively impact academic performance. And dozens of studies have linked an increase in nightly sleep to better cognition and alertness. The new research, however, goes a step further, quantifying the impact of erratic or inadequate sleep on grades. These findings are more convincing than saying that if you get more sleep, you'll feel better," says Jennifer Cousins, a lead researcher of the study.

The study involved data from 56 adolescents (34 female) between the ages of 14 and 18 years. They were asked to fill out sleep diaries for one week and wear a special activity monitor on their wrists, which recorded when the students were asleep or awake. Overall, teens with poor sleep habits received lower grades than students who stuck with a more regular sleep routine.

Interestingly, Cousins also found that different sleep habits had different effects on the students' school performance：those who woke up more often during the night did worse in math, for example, while those who slept peacefully through the night tended to get better grades in English.

These findings bring up new questions about teasing out（探讨）the details of what is important about sleep that impacts learning," says Cousins. "Does more sleep improve our ability to deal with abstract concepts found in math, or does sleep quality increase creativity? We don't know the answers, and don't want to draw those conclusions yet. But this helps us understand more about how sleep helps the things we do in daily life. "

Authors of the study point out that the results provide overwhelming evidence of the importance of sleep during a period of development that is critical for adolescents and recommend sleep education as a prevention tool to help increase awareness of the importance of sleep and of the negative consequences of poor sleep.

【1】The underlined word "erratic" in the second paragraph probably means______.

A.adequate B.different

C.stable D.irregular

【2】We can learn from Jennifer Cousins' research that_____.

A.lower grades in math are related to more awakenings at night

B.the longer you sleep, the better your grades in English will be

C.the findings will cause new insoluble problems about sleeping and learning

D.different sleep habits have similar effects on students' learning

【3】Which of the following do you think Jennifer Cousins will NOT agree with?

A.People should understand the importance of sleep for students.

B.Whether greater sleep quality help increase students' creativity is not known yet.

C.Students' grades mainly depend on their sleep quality.

D.The study helps researchers understand how sleep affects learning.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.The More Sleep, the Better Cognition

B.The Poorer Sleep Habits, the Lower Grades

C.The More Sleep, the Better You Will Feel

D.The More Peacefully You Sleep, the Higher Grades You Will Get
