12．Tu Youyou，the 85-year-old Chinese pharmacologist（藥理學(xué)家），received the Nobel Prize
for medicine in Stockholm on December 10，2015．Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in
physiology（生理學(xué)）or medicine．Also，in 2011，she became the first Chinese person to receive
the US-based Lasker Award for clinical medicine．
Based on a fourth-century Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） text，together with her team，
she managed to get artemisinin【青蒿素）from sweet wormwood through trial and error and
developed an important drug that has significantly reduced death rates among patients suffering from malaria．Tu delivered a speech titled Artemisinin is a Gift from TCM to the World．She has urged more research into the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine and called for joint efforts worldwide to fight against malaria and develop more potential uses for TCM，which she called a"great treasure"wiffi thousands of years'history and empirical knowledge．She said that by combining TCM with modem scientific technologies，"more potential can be discovered in searching for new drugs"．
According to the WHO，more than 240rrullion people in sub-Saharan Africa have benefited from tmisinin，and more than l.5nullion lives are estimated to have been saved since 2000 thanks to the drug．Apart from its contribution to the global fight against malaria，TCM played a vital role in the deadly outbreak of SARS across China in 2003．
Besides treating viruses，TCM has been most effective in diagnosing diseases，cultivating fitness，treating difficult multisource illneases，and using nonmedicinal methods such as acupuncture （鐘刺療法） and breatlung exercises．
However，TCM，which is based on a set of beliefs about human biology，is seldom understood or accepted by the West．Tu's success will bring more recognition and respect for TCM，experts say．The Westem world should leam to appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM，which will lead to more basic scientific research into ancient TCM texts and ways to explore research findings worldwide．

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀，作者通過(guò)這篇文章向我們介紹了中國(guó)諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)得主屠呦呦，她與團(tuán)隊(duì)一起從青蒿素中提取出具有顯著降低患者患瘧疾死亡率的重要藥物，同時(shí)作者認(rèn)為西方世界應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)欣賞中醫(yī)的價(jià)值．
解答 21．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第一段received the Nobel Prize for medicine in Stockholm on December 10，2015．以及she became the first Chinese person to receive the US-based Lasker Award for clinical medicine．可知文章中提到了屠呦呦獲得的諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)以及美國(guó)的拉斯克獎(jiǎng)一共兩項(xiàng)，故選B．
22．D 推理判斷題，根據(jù)第二段developed an important drug that has significantly reduced death rates among patients suffering from malaria．可知屠呦呦研制的一種藥物顯著降低了"malaria"患者的死亡率，由此可知"malaria"指的是一種疾病，故選D．
23．C 推理判斷題，根據(jù)最后一段The Westem world should leam to appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM，which will lead to more basic scientific research into ancient TCM texts and ways to explore research findings worldwide．可知作者認(rèn)為西方世界應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)欣賞中醫(yī)的價(jià)值，由此推知作者覺(jué)得中醫(yī)藥價(jià)值的研究應(yīng)該在全世界范圍內(nèi)進(jìn)行，故選C．
24．B 主旨大意題通讀全文可知作者在本文中主要向我們講述了諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)得主屠呦呦，她致力于中醫(yī)藥研究，開(kāi)發(fā)出了很多有效的藥物，故選B．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀(guān)想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
