閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria(瘧疾). 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(寄生蟲).

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

The Brown Bear

My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.

Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign(跡象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.

I held my camera tripod(三腳架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.

Even so,this was a fight I had to win:I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.

The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.

Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling(扭打) with the bear at this point. Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended. The bear moved back towards the forest,before returning for another attack—the first time I felt panic.

Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear?headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

1.The brown bear approached the family in order to .

A. catch shore birds

B. start an attack

C. protect the children

D. set up a barrier for itself

2.The bear finally went away after it .

A. felt safe

B. got injured

C. found some food

D. took away the camera

3.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their .

A. pride

B. patience

C. calmness

D. cautiousness
