37、确。B(2020成都高二检测)The US inventor Thomas Alva Edison once said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. ” He was not exaggerating. Perspiration, indeed, plays a very important role in Chinese scientist Tu Youyous success. Tu was given the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in

38、 2015 for discovering a new drug for malaria, a deadly disease caused by the bite of some types of mosquito. She is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in science. “It is the pride of the whole Chinese science community, which will inspire more Chinese scientists, ” China Daily noted. Mal

39、aria is a disease that infects around 200 million people and kills about half a million people each year, according to the Economist. Tus discovery has saved millions of lives, especially in the developing world. According to the World Health Organization, by 2013 malaria deaths had fallen by 47 per

40、cent compared with 2000. But the road to this achievement was a tough one to travel. In the late 1960s, during the “cultural revolution ” (1966-1976), Tu joined a government project on which she began research on a new malaria drug. In the beginning, Tu read a lot of old folk remedies(药方), searched

41、texts that were hundreds or thousands of years old and traveled to remote places. Over several months, Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and created a list of almost 380 possible remedies. “This was the most challenging stage of the project, ” Tu told The Beijing News. “It was a very labor-d

42、emanding and dull job, in particular when you faced one failure after another. ”But the hard work and the dullness failed to break the teams spirit. In the following months, she and her team tested the remedies on malaria-infected mice and they found that an extract(提取物)from the plant qinghao seemed

43、 to work well. Not that the work was easier after that. The fact that the extract didnt always work against malaria discouraged some of her teammates. But Tu was ambitious to make a contribution to the world and so she encouraged her teammates to keep going. They decided to start again from the begi

44、nning. In 1971, they were rewarded for their efforts. After nearly 200 failures, Tu finally made an extract that was 100 percent effective against malaria parasites. The extract was called “Artemisinin(青蒿素)”. “Thanks to decades of hard work, Tu and her team had provided humankind with powerful new m

45、eans to combat these diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people every year, ” said the Nobel Prize Committee. “It has greatly improved human health and reduced suffering. ”【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了据经济学人报道, 疟疾是一种每年感染约2亿人并导致约50万人死亡的疾病, 而屠呦呦的发现拯救了数百万人的生命。根据世界卫生组织的数据, 到2013年, 疟疾死亡人数比2000年下降了47%。并且文章讲

46、述了屠呦呦和她的团队发明青蒿素的过程。24. What can we learn from the passage? A. Tu Youyou is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize. B. Compared with 2000, malaria deaths had fallen to 53% in 2013. C. The work became easier after Tu found an extract from qinghao. D. Artemisinin is the most effective extract t

(在将近200次失败后, 屠呦呦终于制成了一种对疟原虫100%有效的提取物。这种提取物被称为“青蒿素”。)可知青蒿素是杀死疟原虫最有效的提取物。故选D。25. What does the underlined

48、 word “combat” mean in the last paragraph? A. Treat. B. Fight. C. Spot. D. Anticipate. 【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据下文these diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people every year可知经过几十年的努力, 屠呦呦和她的团队为人类“抗击”这些每年影响数亿人的疾病提供了强大的新手段, 故可推测标下划线的单词的意思为“对抗; 抗击”, 故选B。26.

To be exact, thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of comfort. Steve Jobs gave

55、 a speech to Stanfords graduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future. It wasnt always like that, though. It started when I became a junior, when college came into view. Its the first big step to making your life your own. So when Jobs discussed

56、 his life as a student, some fears were eased. He, too, felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy

57、 ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well. This doesnt mean that students shouldnt attend college, but rather that they shouldnt worry so much. Youll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding(蜿蜒的)than youd like. Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His lo

58、ve of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: dont panic. One particular part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted(引用)the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has become my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fo

59、ol, no matter how much youve learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated. Steve Jobss level of success is attainable, and I aim to prove that. With the will power to go into the world living every day li

60、ke its my last and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things. In the last moments of my life, Ill be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for. 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文, 起初作者对自己的未来充满了担忧, 后来, 乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲对他产生了很大影响, 让他勇敢面对生活中的不确定因素, 努力去实现人生梦想。28.

61、It is suggested in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that _. A. Steve Jobs didnt attend collegeB.

To be exact, t

62、houghts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. ”可知作者非常担心自己的未来, 并且这种担忧对他的学习产生了较大的影响。故D项正确。29. What did the author gain from Jobss speech? A. Courage to drop out of school. B. Confidence in defeating Jobs. C. Bravery to face uncertai

63、nties. D. Interest in computer industry. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Youll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding than youd like. ”可知作者认为尽管我们的人生道路可能会很曲折, 但我们一定会实现自己的梦想。乔布斯的演讲让作者能够勇敢地面对生活中种种不确定的因素, 努力实现人生梦想。故C项正确。30. What did NOT Steve Jobs encourage students to do in his speech

Be modest so as to learn more. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: dont panic. ”可知乔布斯的演讲教会作者遇见困难要

65、保持镇定, 不慌张。根据第五段第三句“Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much youve learned or experienced. ”可知乔布斯的演讲让作者意识到无论你多么博学, 多么有经验, 都要谦虚。第五段最后一句“Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated. ”告诉作者要永远对知识充满渴望。B、C、D三项内容在演讲中均有体现, 文章并没有涉及A项内容。

66、故选择A项。31. The passage is mainly about _. A. the wisdom drawn from a speechB. the most impressive quote in lifeC. a memorable meeting with JobsD. an experience of a speech【解析】选A。主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知作者起初对未来很担忧, 后来, 他从乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲中学会了要勇敢面对人生, 要对知识充满渴望, 同时要保持谦虚的态度。所以文章主要介绍了作者从乔布斯的演讲中学到的种种智慧。故A项正确。DNo one is s

67、ure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock n roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say. “Technically, I think what theyre proposing is possible, ” physi

68、cist Daniel Bonn said. People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And theres no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one ki

69、lometer away. The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet

70、 clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand. Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths. However, physicist Joseph Wes

71、t thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, Why dont they just try rolling the things? ”A square could be turned into a rough sort of whee

72、l by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”. So he tried it. He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then t

73、hey placed the block on the ground. They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的) path. West hasn

74、t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 主要讲述的是金字塔的建造, 把石块移动到金字塔位置上的一种新方法, 一项新的研究表明古埃及人可能是采用了“滚动”的方法。32. Its widely believed that the stone bloc

75、ks were moved to the pyramid site by _. A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. ”可知, 人们普遍认为工人们是通过让巨石在平坦的地面上滑行的方法而把它们运到金字塔的

76、位置的。故选C。33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to? A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached. B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels. C. Rolling poles to move the blocks. D. Rolling the blocks with fat. 【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据语境可知it指代上文提到的方法, 根据上文的“A square could be turned into a rough

77、sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone a lot easier to roll than a square. ”可知, West意识到一个方块可以通过将木杆固定在其两侧而变成一种粗糙的轮子, 那样做, 石头应该比方块更容易滚动, 于是他就尝试了这种方法, 所以it指的就是滚动木杆固定在其两侧的石头。故选A。34. Why is rolling better than sliding according to W

78、est? A. Because more force is needed for sliding. B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle. C. Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous. D. Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“At least, workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or

79、water to smooth the paths. ”可知, West认为滚动比滑动的方法好是因为工人们不必提前用牛脂肪或水来使路面变光滑, 也就是准备工作更少。故选D。35. What is the text mainly about? A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site. B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site. C. An argument about different methods of movi

80、ng blocks to the pyramid site. D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site. 【解析】选D。主旨大意题。通读全文, 特别是根据第一段中的“Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, ”可知, 本文介绍了科学家发现的一种把巨石运到金字塔位置的新方法把木杆绑在巨石下面, 然后滚动。故选D。第二节(共5小题;
