Question

【题目】 WHAT are scientists? They are often described as gray-haired white-coated dull scholars.

But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.

This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wang Ruixue. At the age of 28 in 2018, Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.

She focuses mainly on biomedicine(生物医学)and artificial intelligence(人工智能). "Both are cutting-edge(前沿)technologies at an early stage of development," she said.

"So, I think they have great potential to be developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line. And in the study of structural biology, China is likely to become the leader."

She felt it was her fate to become a biologist. "I grew interested in the natural world, when I was very young," she said. In 2009, she entered Sun Yat-sen University.

In her third year at the university, she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine. So she emailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong, hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.

Shi recognized her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off. Her research on the high-definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.

Unlike-many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad, Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.

"The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China," she said, adding the country has great science facilities.

C.Disappointed.D.Satisfied.

【3】What can we learn about Wang Ruixue's journey of becoming a biologist?

A.Her teacher led her into the field.B.She finds it's easier than she thought.

C.Her contribution has been recognized.D.She thinks it's boring but worth trying.

【4】Which can be the best title of the text?

A.China's Breakthrough in ScienceB.Rising Young Scientists in China

C.Wan Ruixue: A Successful Young ScientistD.New Image of Chinese Scientists

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【4】B

【解析】

这是一篇新闻报道。年轻的科学家们正在改变世界舞台上发声，并释放他们的力量。在中国也一样，越来越多的年轻科学家投身科学研究，对社会做出了巨大的贡献。他们对中国的科学技术和科学研究充满自信。

【1】词义猜测题。由第二段Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.可知在世界舞台上，年轻的科学家们正在发出他们的声音，释放他们的能量。从句子中可以看到making their voices heard和releasing their powers并列，可以根据making their voices heard（发出自己的声音）猜测出releasing有“发出，散发”之意，故选A。

【2】推理判断题。由第五段I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line. And in the study of structural biology, China is likely to become the leader."可知我认为在前沿技术研究方面，中国和其他主要国家都在起跑线上。在结构生物学研究方面，中国可能成为引领者。从这些话可以判读出，对中国前沿技术的研究，王瑞雪充满信心。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。由倒数第三段Shi recognized her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off.可知史认可了她的才能，欢迎她加入。在实验室数年的努力得到了回报。由此可以看出王瑞雪成才为生物学家的过程中，她的付出得到了认可。故选C。

【4】主旨大意题。由第二段Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.可知在世界舞台上，年轻的科学家们正在发出他们的声音，释放他们的能量。由第三段This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wang Ruixue.可知在中国也一样。冉冉升起的新星包括新型材料专家龚永吉，大学教授刘明侦和生物学家王瑞雪。从上述内容可以看出关键词是China，Rising stars和Young scientists。所以文章标题是中国新星的年轻科学家。故选B。

做主旨大意的题时，一定要找对关键词。不能以偏概全。比如第四小题，要找对关键词年轻科学家(Young scientists)、中国(China)，和新星(Rising stars)，还要知道是他们之间的联系，即在中国冉冉升起的年轻科学家，所以答案选B。
