  At 1:43 a.m., Bertozzi was awakened by a phone call from a Nobel committee representative who, revealing the significant news, told her, “You have 50 minutes to collect yourself and wait until your life changes.”
  Instructed not to share the announcement outside of her tightest inner circle, the first person Bertozzi called was her father, William Bertozzi, a retired physics professor from MIT.“He’s 91 and, of course, he was just overjoyed,” said Bertozzi.“And then he called my sisters for me.One of my sisters and my dad watched it live.”
  Bertozzi was recognized for founding the field of biorthogonal chemistry (生物正交化学), a set of chemical reactions that allow researchers to study molecules (分子) and their interactions in living things without involving natural biological processes.Bertozzi’s lab has been using the new methods to answer basic questions about the role of sugars in biology, to solve practical problems, like developing better tests for infectious diseases, and to create a new medicine that can better target tumors (肿瘤).
  “I could not be more delighted that Bertozzi has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne.“In pioneering the field of biorthogonal chemistry, Bertozzi invented a new way of studying biomolecular processes, one that has helped scientists around the world gain deeper understanding of chemical reactions in living systems.Being a crown jewel in chemistry, her work has had an outstanding real-world impact.The research achievements have been used to study how cells build proteins and other molecules, to develop new cancer medicines, and to produce new materials for energy storage, among many other applications.”
  “They call and I’m not even awake ...Starbucks isn’t even open yet,” she exclaimed while in her pajamas at her kitchen table.By 3 a.m., Bertozzi had nearly three dozen voicemails.“This is how it’s going to be all day.This is insane,” she said.“Maybe I should cancel meetings.”
  Pausing between interviews about two hours later to check her messages, Bertozzi said, “My family has already booked their flights to Stockholm.It’s amazing.Go back to sleep!”

  Sofia Kovalevskaya was born in Moscow, Russia, in 1850.As a young child, Kovalevskaya was attracted to the unusual wallpaper on the wall of a room in the family house: the lecture notes of Mikhail Ostrogradsky on differential and integral calculus (微积分).
  Although her father provided her with private teachers, he would not allow her to study abroad for further education, and Russian universities would not then admit women.Kovalevskaya wanted to continue her studies in mathematics, so she found a solution: to get married to a young student, Vladimir Kovalevsky.This allowed her to leave Russia and continue her studies.
  The pair traveled together to Austria and then to Germany, where in 1869 Kovalevskaya studied at Heidelberg University.The following year she moved to Berlin to study with Karl Weierstrass privately, as the university in Berlin would not allow any women to attend classes.In 1874, she presented three papers to the University of Gottingen and was awarded a doctoral degree.Her paper on partial differential equations (偏微分方程) won her valuable recognition within the European mathematical community.
  Having received her degree, she returned to Russia with her husband.However, they were unable to find the academic positions they desired.So Kovalevskaya returned to Berlin.In 1883, she became a lecturer in mathematics at Stockholm University.
  In 1888 she was awarded the Prix Bordin of the French Academy of Sciences for research now called the Kovalevskaya Top.She also won a prize from the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1889, and that same year was appointed (任命) to a chair at the university — the first woman appointed to a chair at a modern European university.She was also elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences as a member that same year.
  Kovalevskaya was also known as a writer and a supporter of women’s rights.She composed novels, plays, and essays, including the autobiographical novel A Russian Childhood and Nihilist Girl, a story of her life in Russia.
5.What can be learned about young Kovalevskaya?(  )
A.She received public education. B.She was addicted to mathematics.
C.She showed interest in wallpaper. D.She had no support from her father.
6.What happened to Kovalevskaya in the 1870s?(  )
A.She got married to a young student.
B.She was noted in the academic world.
C.She studied at Heidelberg University.
D.She worked with Karl Weierstrass in Berlin.
7.What does Paragraph 5 mainly say about Kovalevskaya?(  )

8.Which of the following can best describe Kovalevskaya?(  )
A.Creative and generous. B.Patient and productive.
C.Positive and considerate. D.Talented and determined.

  Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
  In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.
  Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N.Ann, an assistant professor of psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings — recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology — will help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.
  According to the researchers, there is concern in the science community with the number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college.To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behaviour or strategies they can follow.
  The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively.In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career.However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison.Although the stories are the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success.In addition, the participants who believed the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.
  “This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu said.“Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”
9.What kind of scientist is more encouraging?(  )
A.Those who are famous around the world.
B.Those who are famous for their hard work.
C.Those who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
D.Those who are viewed as great inventors.
10.What is the concern in the science community?(  )
A.Fewer students will work on science.
B.The students will drop out of school soon.
C.There are fewer role models for students to follow.
D.Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
11.Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems?(  )
A.They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B.They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
C.They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
D.They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
12.What is the best title for the text? (  )
A.Einstein’s Success Story B.Edison’s Achievements Are Greater
C.How to Be a Great Scientist D.Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison

Qualities of a Good Scientist
  The qualities of a good scientist may vary to some extent with different specialties.But, every scientist needs to have a good foundation in science classes throughout high school and college, along with a good understanding of math.13.(  ).
   Two of the most common characteristics of scientists are curiosity and patience.14.(  ), and they want to learn what makes everything work.Their curiosity keeps them going, heading to the next project and the next experiment.They must also have the patience to experience the years of work that might be required to make a discovery in a scientific field.A sense of optimism keeps a scientist performing experiment after experiment, even if most of them fail.15.(  ).They require patience to repeat experiments many times to prove results.
   16.(  ), noticing even tiny observations and remembering and recording them.Their minds tend to be analytical (分析的), and they can collect and store data in an efficient way so it can be recalled later.They usually have facts and guesses from several fields and experiments so that they can be put together in different combinations (组合) to answer questions or provide direction for research.
   Being open-minded is important for successful people in science careers.A good scientist will accept whatever result his or her work has.A scientist will also not give wrong results or shade an experiment to get the expected outcome.17.(  ), even when they have different opinions from his or her own.
A.Scientists can help and support one another
B.He or she will accept the solutions of others
C.Scientists need to pay more attention to details
D.Scientists are curious about the world around them
E.They build on the work of scientists from past generations
F.These basic classes give you a good start toward a career in science
G.Scientists know that failed experiments provide answers as often as successful ones do

Chinese scientist wins 2015 Nobel Prize
   By Dina Conner
   11 December 2015
  [1]Tu Youyou has become the first female scientist of the People’s Republic① of China to receive a Nobel Prize, awarded for her contribution to the fight against malaria②, one of the deadliest③ diseases in human history.Thanks to her discovery of qinghaosu, malaria patients all over the world now have had a greatly increased chance of survival④.
  [1]动词不定式短语to receive a Nobel Prize作scientist 的后置定语;动词-ed形式短语awarded for her contribution to the fight against malaria作a Nobel Prize的后置定语;one of the deadliest diseases in human history 为名词短语作同位语,解释说明malaria。
  [2]Born in 1930, in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province⑤, Tu studied medicine at university in Beijing between 1951 and 1955.After graduation, she worked at the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine⑥.[3]She completed further training courses in traditional Chinese medicine, acquiring a broad⑦ knowledge of both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
  [2]Born in 1930 ...为形容词化的动词-ed形式作状语。
  [3]句中动词-ing形式短语acquiring a broad ...作结果状语,acquire与其逻辑主语She之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。
  Tu’s education was soon to prove very useful.In the 1960s, many people were dying of⑧ malaria, and in 1969 Tu became head of a team that intended⑨ to find a cure for the disease.She collected over 2,000 traditional Chinese medical recipes for malaria treatment and made hundreds of extracts⑩ from different herbs .When they failed to produce any promising results, Tu referred to the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine again.[4]Inspired by an over 1,600-year-old text about preparing qinghao extract with cold water, Tu redesigned the experiments and tried extracting the herb at a low temperature in order not to damage its effective part.[5]On 4 October 1971, after 190 failures , she succeeded in making qinghao extract that could treat malaria in mice.
  [4]动词-ed形式短语Inspired by ...作原因状语,相当于状语从句Because she was inspired by ...。
  [5]句中that could treat malaria in mice为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词extract,且that在定语从句中作主语。
  [6]However, it was hard to produce enough qinghao extract for large trials because research resources were limited .Tu and her team managed to find solutions to the problem.When there was no research equipment, they had to extract herbs using household water containers .They worked day and night and their health began to suffer because of the poor conditions, but they never gave up.
  [6]句中it作形式主语,动词不定式短语to produce ...trials是真正的主语;because引导原因状语从句。
  [7]Even with large amounts of qinghao extract produced, however, they still faced another problem.[8]The trials on patients were likely to be postponed because they did not have sufficient safety data .[9]To speed up the process and ensure its safety, Tu and her team volunteered to test qinghao extract on themselves first.
  [7]句中with复合结构(with+名词+动词-ed形式)作状语,produced表示被动和完成。
  [8]介词短语on patients作后置定语,because引导原因状语从句。
  [9]第一个动词不定式短语To speed up the process and ensure its safety作目的状语;第二个动词不定式短语to test qinghao extract on themselves first作宾语。
  The efforts of Tu and her team finally paid off .In November 1972, through trial and error , they successfully discovered qinghaosu—the most effective part of the qinghao extract.As a key part of many malaria medicines, qinghaosu has since benefited about 200 million malaria patients.More than 40 years after its discovery, Tu was eventually awarded a Nobel Prize for her work.In her Nobel Lecture , she encouraged scientists to further explore the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine and raise it to a higher level.[10]Perhaps the next generation of scientists, drawing on the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, will indeed discover more medicines beneficial to global health care .
  [10]句中动词-ing形式短语drawing on ...medicine作定语,修饰名词scientists,相当于一个非限制性定语从句who draw on the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine。

中国科学家荣获2015年诺贝尔奖
迪娜·康纳
   2015年12月11日
  屠呦呦成为中华人民共和国第一位获得诺贝尔奖的女科学家。她获奖是因为她在抗击疟疾中做出的贡献,疟疾是人类历史上最致命的疾病之一。得益于她发现的青蒿素,如今全世界疟疾患者的存活率大大提高。
  1930年,屠呦呦出生于浙江宁波。1951年至1955年,屠呦呦在北京读大学,学习药学。毕业后,她在中医研究院工作。她完成了中医领域的培训课程深造,获得了广泛的中西医知识。
  屠呦呦接受的教育很快被证明非常有用。20世纪60年代,许多人死于疟疾。1969年屠呦呦担任了一个课题组的组长,这个课题组计划找到该疾病的治疗方法。她收集了2000多种治疗疟疾的中药配方,并从不同的草药中获取了数百种提取物。当它们未能产生预期效果时,屠呦呦再次查阅历代中医典籍。据一本1600多年前的古籍记载,古人通过冷水制备青蒿提取物,受此启发,屠呦呦重新设计了这个试验,为了不破坏其(抗疟的)有效成分,她尝试在低温下提取青蒿。1971年10月4日, 在历经190次失败之后,她成功制备出可以治疗老鼠疟疾的青蒿提取物。
  然而,由于研究资源有限,很难制造出足够的青蒿提取物用于大规模试验。屠呦呦团队成功找到了解决这个问题的方法。当时没有研究设备,他们只能用家用的盛水容器提取青蒿。他们夜以继日地工作,由于条件恶劣,他们的健康开始受损,但却从未放弃。
  然而,即使制造了大量的青蒿提取物,他们仍然面临着另外一个问题。因为他们没有充足的安全数据,在病人身上进行试验有可能推迟。为了加快进度并保证其安全性,屠呦呦和她的团队自愿先在他们自己身上试验青蒿提取物。
  屠呦呦和其团队的努力终于有了回报。1972年11月,经过反复试验,他们成功发现了青蒿素——青蒿提取物中最有效的成分。作为许多抗疟药物中的关键成分,青蒿素迄今已经造福了近2亿疟疾患者。在发现青蒿素40多年后,屠呦呦终于因此获得了诺贝尔奖。在她的获奖演讲上,屠呦呦鼓励科学家们进一步探索中医这座宝库,并让其更上一层楼。也许下一代的科学家借鉴中医的智慧,确实会发现更多有益于全球医疗的药物。

第三步:通词句,学语言表达
1.词汇学习——循规律,记单词
在形容词、名词或动词后加某些后缀可以构成抽象名词。这篇新闻报道中就运用了很多这样的抽象名词,请找出来并试着再想出一些分别写在下面的表格中。
词性 后缀 名词
形容词 -dom
-ness
动词 -al
-ance
-ure
形容词/动词/名词 -age
2.美文欣赏——赏美文,学写法
该语篇的体裁属于新闻报道,这种文体时效性强。与一般人物描写类文章不同的是,新闻报道中的人物描写强调以客观事实说话,尽量不加入报道者的情感,但读者能够通过语篇内容了解人物品质。下面结合课文分析和品悟一下新闻报道类语篇的特点。
(1)语篇内容客观、准确,使用具体数据来说明屠呦呦及其团队的科学研究过程的艰辛。如课文第三段中出现的数据She collected over       traditional Chinese medical recipes for malaria treatment and made       extracts from different herbs.和Inspired by an over       text about preparing qinghao extract with cold water, Tu redesigned the experiments ...就体现了新闻报道的准确性和真实性。
(2)新闻报道的语言具有言简意赅的特点。 文章开头用一句话(新闻导语)Tu Youyou has become             scientist of the People’s Republic of China to receive a Nobel Prize, awarded for her contribution to the fight against malaria,            in human history.介绍了屠呦呦获得诺贝尔奖的事实、她的突出贡献以及疟疾这种疾病,具有高度“概括性”。
(3)从故事层面来看,本文注重通过描述人物的具体事迹,包括引用人物语言来刻画人物形象。这些语言特点能加深读者对屠呦呦获诺贝尔奖这一新闻事件以及对屠呦呦这一人物的认知。课文第三段中的On 4 October 1971, after             , she succeeded in making qinghao extract that could treat malaria in mice.和第四段中的They worked         and their health             because of the poor conditions, but they           .等表达成功地塑造出一个齐心协力、永不言弃的团队形象。
(4)从叙事结构层面来看,语篇首先报道发生的重大新闻事件,与标题呼应,然后再详细报道其他相关的重要信息,如人物生平、事件发生的过程等。语篇以                        为标题,向读者报道了这一重要消息,并介绍了屠呦呦的生平经历和她带领团队为治疗疟疾发现并提取青蒿素的过程,给读者提供了比简单的新闻播报更为详细的信息。

Chinese medical recipes for malaria treatment and made hundreds of extracts⑩ from different herbs .When they failed to produce any promising results, Tu referred to the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine again.
[4]Inspired by an over 1,600-year-old text about preparing qinghao extract with cold water, Tu redesigned the experiments and tried extracting the herb at a low temperature in order not to damage its effective part.[5]On 4 October 1971, after 190 failures , she succeeded in making qinghao extract that could treat malaria in mice.

通过冷水制备青蒿提取物,受此启发,屠呦呦重新设计了这个试验,
为了不破坏其(抗疟的)有效成分,她尝试在低温下提取青蒿。1971
年10月4日, 在历经190次失败之后,她成功制备出可以治疗老鼠疟疾
的青蒿提取物。
  然而,由于研究资源有限,很难制造出足够的青蒿提取物用于大
规模试验。屠呦呦团队成功找到了解决这个问题的方法。当时没有研
究设备,他们只能用家用的盛水容器提取青蒿。他们夜以继日地工
作,由于条件恶劣,他们的健康开始受损,但却从未放弃。
  然而,即使制造了大量的青蒿提取物,他们仍然面临着另外一个
问题。因为他们没有充足的安全数据,在病人身上进行试验有可能推
迟。为了加快进度并保证其安全性,屠呦呦和她的团队自愿先在他们
自己身上试验青蒿提取物。
屠呦呦和其团队的努力终于有了回报。1972年11月,经过反复试
验,他们成功发现了青蒿素——青蒿提取物中最有效的成分。作为许
多抗疟药物中的关键成分,青蒿素迄今已经造福了近2亿疟疾患者。
在发现青蒿素40多年后,屠呦呦终于因此获得了诺贝尔奖。在她的获
奖演讲上,屠呦呦鼓励科学家们进一步探索中医这座宝库,并让其更
上一层楼。也许下一代的科学家借鉴中医的智慧,确实会发现更多有
益于全球医疗的药物。

第三步:通词句,学语言表达
1. 词汇学习——循规律,记单词
在形容词、名词或动词后加某些后缀可以构成抽象名词。这篇新闻
报道中就运用了很多这样的抽象名词,请找出来并试着再想出一些
分别写在下面的表格中。
词性 后缀 名词
形容词 -dom
-ness

动词 -al

-ance
-ure
形容词/ 动词/名词 -age
wisdom, freedom
effectiveness, usefulness, kindness, loneliness,
happiness
survival, arrival, approval, proposal, refusal,
removal
appearance, acceptance, performance, assistance
failure, pleasure, exposure, closure
shortage, marriage, passage, percentage
2. 美文欣赏——赏美文,学写法
该语篇的体裁属于新闻报道,这种文体时效性强。与一般人物描写
类文章不同的是,新闻报道中的人物描写强调以客观事实说话,尽
量不加入报道者的情感,但读者能够通过语篇内容了解人物品质。
下面结合课文分析和品悟一下新闻报道类语篇的特点。
(1)语篇内容客观、准确,使用具体数据来说明屠呦呦及其团队
的科学研究过程的艰辛。如课文第三段中出现的数据She
collected over traditional Chinese medical recipes
for malaria treatment and made extracts from
different herbs.和Inspired by an over text
about preparing qinghao extract with cold water, Tu redesigned
the experiments ...就体现了新闻报道的准确性和真实性。
2,000 
hundreds of 
1,600-year-old 
(2)新闻报道的语言具有言简意赅的特点。 文章开头用一句话
(新闻导语)Tu Youyou has become
scientist of the People’s Republic of China to receive a Nobel
Prize, awarded for her contribution to the fight against
malaria, in human history.介
绍了屠呦呦获得诺贝尔奖的事实、她的突出贡献以及疟疾这
种疾病,具有高度“概括性”。
the first female 
one of the deadliest diseases 
(3)从故事层面来看,本文注重通过描述人物的具体事迹,包括
引用人物语言来刻画人物形象。这些语言特点能加深读者对
屠呦呦获诺贝尔奖这一新闻事件以及对屠呦呦这一人物的认
知。课文第三段中的On 4 October 1971, after
, she succeeded in making qinghao extract that could
treat malaria in mice.和第四段中的They worked
and their health because of the poor
conditions, but they .等表达成功地塑造出
一个齐心协力、永不言弃的团队形象。
190
failures 
day and
night 
began to suffer 
never gave up 
(4)从叙事结构层面来看,语篇首先报道发生的重大新闻事件,
与标题呼应,然后再详细报道其他相关的重要信息,如人物
生平、事件发生的过程等。语篇以
为标题,向读者报道了这一重要消息,并
介绍了屠呦呦的生平经历和她带领团队为治疗疟疾发现并提
取青蒿素的过程,给读者提供了比简单的新闻播报更为详细
的信息。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
  At 1:43 a.m., Bertozzi was awakened by a phone call from a
Nobel committee representative who, revealing the significant news,
told her, “You have 50 minutes to collect yourself and wait until your
life changes.”
  Instructed not to share the announcement outside of her tightest inner
circle, the first person Bertozzi called was her father, William
Bertozzi, a retired physics professor from MIT. “He’s 91 and, of
course, he was just overjoyed,” said Bertozzi.“And then he called
my sisters for me.One of my sisters and my dad watched it live.”
  Bertozzi was recognized for founding the field of biorthogonal
chemistry (生物正交化学), a set of chemical reactions that allow
researchers to study molecules (分子) and their interactions in living
things without involving natural biological processes.Bertozzi’s lab has
been using the new methods to answer basic questions about the role of
sugars in biology, to solve practical problems, like developing better
tests for infectious diseases, and to create a new medicine that can better
target tumors (肿瘤).  
“I could not be more delighted that Bertozzi has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne.“In
pioneering the field of biorthogonal chemistry, Bertozzi invented a new
way of studying biomolecular processes, one that has helped scientists
around the world gain deeper understanding of chemical reactions in living
systems.Being a crown jewel in chemistry, her work has had an
outstanding real-world impact.The research achievements have been used
to study how cells build proteins and other molecules, to develop new
cancer medicines, and to produce new materials for energy storage,
among many other applications.”
  “They call and I’m not even awake ...Starbucks isn’t even open
yet,” she exclaimed while in her pajamas at her kitchen table.By 3
a.m., Bertozzi had nearly three dozen voicemails.“This is how it’s
going to be all day.This is insane,” she said.“Maybe I should cancel
meetings.”
  Pausing between interviews about two hours later to check her
messages, Bertozzi said, “My family has already booked their flights
to Stockholm.It’s amazing.Go back to sleep!”
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。凌晨,Bertozzi接到电话被告知获得
了诺贝尔奖。文章介绍了她研究的内容,斯坦福大学校长对她的评
价以及她接受采访时的情景。

  Sofia Kovalevskaya was born in Moscow, Russia, in 1850.As a
young child, Kovalevskaya was attracted to the unusual wallpaper on the
wall of a room in the family house: the lecture notes of Mikhail
Ostrogradsky on differential and integral calculus (微积分).
  Although her father provided her with private teachers, he would not
allow her to study abroad for further education, and Russian universities
would not then admit women.Kovalevskaya wanted to continue her
studies in mathematics, so she found a solution: to get married to a
young student, Vladimir Kovalevsky.This allowed her to leave Russia
and continue her studies.
  The pair traveled together to Austria and then to Germany, where in
1869 Kovalevskaya studied at Heidelberg University.The following year
she moved to Berlin to study with Karl Weierstrass privately, as the
university in Berlin would not allow any women to attend classes.In
1874, she presented three papers to the University of Gottingen and was
awarded a doctoral degree.Her paper on partial differential equations
(偏微分方程) won her valuable recognition within the European
mathematical community.
  Having received her degree, she returned to Russia with her
husband.However, they were unable to find the academic positions they
desired.So Kovalevskaya returned to Berlin.In 1883, she became a
lecturer in mathematics at Stockholm University.
  In 1888 she was awarded the Prix Bordin of the French Academy of
Sciences for research now called the Kovalevskaya Top.She also won a
prize from the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1889, and that same year
was appointed (任命) to a chair at the university — the first woman
appointed to a chair at a modern European university.She was also elected
to the Russian Academy of Sciences as a member that same year.
  Kovalevskaya was also known as a writer and a supporter of
women’s rights.She composed novels, plays, and essays, including
the autobiographical novel A Russian Childhood and Nihilist Girl, a story
of her life in Russia.

  Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research
suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more
encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
  In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were
more motivated by scientists whose success was connected with efforts
than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that
scientist was Albert Einstein.
  Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at Pennsylvania State University,
and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of psychology at William
Paterson University, said the findings — recently published in Basic and
Applied Social Psychology — will help deal with the certain secret about
what it takes to succeed in science.
  According to the researchers, there is concern in the science
community with the number of students who run after careers in science
during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate
from college.To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research
role models, who give the students specific goals, behaviour or
strategies they can follow.
  The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in
each study respectively.In the first study, all participants read the same
story about common struggles a scientist met in his science
career.However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half
were told it was about Thomas Edison.Although the stories are the same,
participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason
for Einstein’s success.In addition, the participants who believed the
story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths
problems.
  “This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a
genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu
said.“Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,
000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked
to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be
achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the
science career confidently.”

9. What kind of scientist is more encouraging?(  )
A. Those who are famous around the world.
B. Those who are famous for their hard work.
C. Those who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
D. Those who are viewed as great inventors.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中的but new research suggests
that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging
than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant可知,那些以勤奋
努力而闻名的科学家比那些天生才华横溢的科学家更能激励人心。
10. What is the concern in the science community?(  )
A. Fewer students will work on science.
B. The students will drop out of school soon.
C. There are fewer role models for students to follow.
D. Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段中的there is concern in the
science community with the number of students who run after careers
in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once
they graduate from college可知,很多在校期间追求科学事业的学
生在大学毕业后就放弃了从事与科学相关的事业,也就是说从事
科学事业的学生会更少,而这正是科学界所担忧的事情。
11. Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths
problems?(  )
A. They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B. They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
C. They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
D. They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句可知,参与者完成一
系列的数学题是受到爱迪生的故事的鼓舞;再根据最后一段中的
关键句Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than
1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is
linked to his efforts.可知,爱迪生在尝试发明灯泡时失败了1000多
次,他的成功与他的努力有关。综合得知,这些受到爱迪生故事
鼓舞的参与者相信通过努力和勤奋可以解决问题,所以他们才有
动力去完成一系列数学题。
12. What is the best title for the text? (  )
A. Einstein’s Success Story
B. Edison’s Achievements Are Greater
C. How to Be a Great Scientist
D. Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison
解析: 标题归纳题。第一段点明本文主旨,再结合下文内容
可知,本文主要阐述的是那些以勤奋努力而闻名的科学家比那些
天生才华横溢的科学家更能激励人心。D项中的Einstein代指天生
才华横溢的科学家,Edison代指以勤奋努力而闻名的科学家,即
“天生才华横溢的科学家不如以勤奋努力而闻名的科学家鼓舞人
心”,因此,D项最能概括文章主旨,适合作文章标题。

Qualities of a Good Scientist
  The qualities of a good scientist may vary to some extent with
different specialties.But, every scientist needs to have a good foundation
in science classes throughout high school and college, along with a good
understanding of math.13.(  ).
   Two of the most common characteristics of scientists are curiosity
and patience.14.(  ), and they want to learn what makes
everything work.Their curiosity keeps them going, heading to the next
project and the next experiment.They must also have the patience to
experience the years of work that might be required to make a discovery in
a scientific field.A sense of optimism keeps a scientist performing
experiment after experiment, even if most of them fail.15.
(  ).They require patience to repeat experiments many times to
prove results.
   16.(  ), noticing even tiny observations and remembering
and recording them.Their minds tend to be analytical (分析的), and
they can collect and store data in an efficient way so it can be recalled
later.They usually have facts and guesses from several fields and
experiments so that they can be put together in different combinations (组
合) to answer questions or provide direction for research.
   Being open-minded is important for successful people in science
careers.A good scientist will accept whatever result his or her work has.A
scientist will also not give wrong results or shade an experiment to get the
expected outcome.17.(  ), even when they have different
opinions from his or her own.
A. Scientists can help and support one another
B. He or she will accept the solutions of others
C. Scientists need to pay more attention to details
D. Scientists are curious about the world around them
E. They build on the work of scientists from past generations
F. These basic classes give you a good start toward a career in science
G. Scientists know that failed experiments provide answers as often as
successful ones do
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了好科学家应该具备的一
些品质。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了好科学家应该具备的一
些品质。
13. F 上文指出一位好科学家的品质可能因为专业不同而在某种程度
上有所不同,但每一位科学家都需要在高中和大学的科学课上打好基
础,同时对数学有好的领悟力。由此可知,打好科学基础对从事科学
事业的人来说很重要。F项中的These basic classes指代上文中的science
classes。
14. D 本段指出科学家最普遍的两个品质是有好奇心和耐心。根据
空后的they want to learn what makes everything work可知,科学家对他
们周围的世界很好奇。D项中的curious与上文中的curiosity是原词复现
关系,空后的they指代D项中的Scientists。
15. G 上文指出即使大多数实验都失败了,乐观主义也能让科学家
不断地进行实验,下文指出科学家要有耐心多次重做实验以证明结
果。由此可知,空处应该与失败的实验给科学家带来的好处相关。G
项中的failed experiments呼应上文中的experiment after experiment和
most of them fail。
16. C 根据本空后的noticing even tiny observations and remembering
and recording them可知,科学家需要更多地关注细节。C项中的details
呼应下文中的tiny observations。
17. B 本段指出科学家需要具备的另外一个品质——有包容的心
态,愿意接受不同的意见。B项中的He or she指代上文中的A good
scientist,且accept与上文中的accept是原词复现关系。shade此处作动
词,意为“隐瞒,掩饰”。
