Question

【題目】 Have you ever dreamed of meeting top scientists in person? If so, what would you like 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(世界頂尖科學(xué)家論壇) for a second time, which had attracted(吸引) 44 Nobel Prize winners and 21 other world-class prize winners. Tan was by far the youngest among the scientists invited to be at the meeting of the world’s sharpest minds. Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence and Bezout numbers(非波那契數(shù)列與貝祖數(shù)的估計(jì)) has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions in China.

From a very young age, Tan has always been fascinated by mathematics (maths). It was her father, a mathematics teacher in East China Normal University, who largely inspired(使產(chǎn)生，激發(fā)) young Tan Fanglin with the interest in mathematics. But she had not taken part in any Mathematics Olympiad exams before, which she finds will be a waste of time.

According to Xu Jun, Tan’s head teacher from her middle and high school, she doesn’t take after-school classes or too many exercises. Her mastering of Further Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method. Her mother told Guangming Daily that Tan always treats studying and life with a positive mindset so she can feel happy while studying.

Attending this forum enabled Tan to learn more from top scientists. She even got the chance to talk with Gero Miesenbock, the 2019 Warren Alpert Foundation Prize winner and the founder of optogenetics(光遺傳學(xué)).

文章大意：10月29日，第二屆世界頂尖科學(xué)家論壇開幕，報(bào)道中介紹了受邀參加論壇來自華東師大二附中高一的科學(xué)家談方琳的學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷及其科學(xué)成就，并指出這次論壇使談方琳能夠從頂尖科學(xué)家那里學(xué)到很多。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第3段中“In October, she attended the World Laureates Forum for a second time”可知談方琳是第二次參加世界頂尖科學(xué)家論壇，A項(xiàng)正確；根據(jù)第4段中“From a very young age, Tan has always been fascinated by mathematics (maths).”可知談方琳很小的時(shí)候就對數(shù)學(xué)感興趣，B項(xiàng)正確；根據(jù)第5段中“According to Xu Jun, Tan’s head teacher from her middle and high school, she doesn’t take after-school classes or too many exercises.”可知談方琳并未參加校外課程，C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第5段中“Her mastering of Further Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method.”可知談方琳在高階數(shù)學(xué)上取得的成功要?dú)w功于她正確的學(xué)習(xí)方式。故選A。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在語境“Her mother told Guangming Daily that Tan always treats studying and life with a positive mindset so she can feel happy while studying.”可知以“positive”的觀念對待學(xué)習(xí)和生活使談方琳學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)覺得很快樂，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可推出positive意為“積極的”。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。文中最后一段中提到談方琳有機(jī)會(huì)和Gero Miesenbock交談，由此可推測下一段可能會(huì)具體談到他們之間的交流。故選B。

【5】標(biāo)題歸納題。本文主要介紹了第二屆世界頂尖科學(xué)家論壇開幕，指出了來自華東師大二附中高一的科學(xué)家談方琳從頂尖科學(xué)家那里學(xué)到許多，用“Top Minds Inspire Middle School Student”做標(biāo)題最合適。故選A。
