16、 the sun does.But the sunrise is only half of the waking process:The light grows for 20 minutes before you are eased out of your sleep by the natural early morning sounds of birdsongs.The makers believe users of the app will never wake up in the same way again:“Start getting awake by light and you w

24、ects 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 percent compared with 2000.But the

25、 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 texts that were hundreds or thousands of

26、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-demanding and dull job,in particular when you fa

27、ced 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 to work well.Not that the work was easier after th

28、at.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 beginning.In 1971,they were rewarded for their efforts.Afte

29、r 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 means to combat these diseases that affect hundreds of millions o

30、f people every year,”said the Nobel Prize Committee.“It has greatly improved human health and reduced suffering.”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.第 5 页共 10 页命题人/审题人：涂鸣、陈侨、洪

45、,and fresh vegetables are almost impossible to get in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation.Many well-tried techniques already existed natural cooling,drying,smoking,salting,sugaring,bottling.What refrigeration did promote was market
