本文的语篇类型是人物报道，文章既具有新闻体裁的特点又遵循人物介绍的基本模式。
(1)新闻标题讲究准确、简约、传神，如本文标题Chinese scientist wins 2015 Nobel Prize，简洁精准且醒目地点出了文章主题。
新闻导语一般是新闻开头的第一段或第一句话，它扼要地揭示了新闻的核心内容。导语通常以极其简洁的文字，写出报道中最重要、最精彩的事实，提纲挈领，牵引全文，吸引读者。如本文第一段，简明扼要地介绍了屠呦呦因发现青蒿素而荣获诺贝尔奖，并点评了她对世界的贡献。
(2)人物介绍一般围绕人物组织材料，选材具有代表性，一般是人物一生中的突出成就或突出人物性格特点的材料。如本文围绕屠呦呦获得诺贝尔奖展开，详细介绍了屠呦呦及其团队发现青蒿素的过程，重点介绍了他们的不懈努力，以及从传统中医药学中所汲取的智慧。
(一)赏用词之妙　
1．Thanks to her discovery of qinghaosu, malaria patients all over the world now have had a greatly increased chance of survival.
赏析：thanks to增加了语气中的感激之意；副词greatly修饰increased，起到了加强语气的作用，强调全世界疟疾患者的存活率得到大大提高。
2．She completed further training courses in traditional Chinese medicine, acquiring a broad knowledge of both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
赏析：本句中用further修饰training courses，不仅说明了屠呦呦终身学习的决心和毅力，同时避开了continue to study或go on等普通表达的使用。后半句中的broad则强调了她知识面广，学贯中西。
3．Even with large amounts of qinghao extract produced, however, they still faced another problem.
赏析：句首的Even强调了句中的让步状语，与后面的another一起描写了屠呦呦团队在研究过程中虽然遇到了许多困难，但他们不畏艰难，勇于挑战。
4．The efforts of Tu and her team finally paid off.
赏析：本句为段首句，所在段落讲述了屠呦呦及其团队取得的成就。此处的关键词paid off起到了统领下文的作用。pay off强调经过努力后最终取得成功，用在此处暗指屠呦呦及其团队取得的成就源自他们的辛勤付出。

新中国成立之初，我国老一辈科学家从国外学成归来，为祖国的发展付出了青春和生命。他们的事迹可歌可泣、感人至深。家喻户晓的钱学森先生就是其中之一。他组建了中国第一个火箭、导弹研究所——国防部第五研究院，将毕生精力贡献给了中国火箭、导弹和航天事业。他被誉为中国航天事业奠基人、“两弹一星”元勋。
The Father of China's Aerospace
Perhaps no other scientist has had a greater impact on China's aerospace science Described by the authors of the Story of Qian Xuesen as a man with “great scientific thought and scientific spirit” who was patriotic and served his homeland with effort， an extremely well－respected man.
Born in Shanghai in 1911, Qian attended schools in Beijing and then entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study Railway Mechanical Engineering.However, after the Songhu Battle broke out in 1932, Qian made the decision to switch his major to aviation because he realised that China needed its own powerful air force to protect and defend the country.
Qian went to the United States in 1935 to pursue his graduate studies.Over the course of the 1930s and 1940s, Qian became a pioneer in American jet and rocket technology.As a graduate assistant at the California Institute of Technology during the 1930s, Qian helped conduct important research into rocket propulsion, and in the 1940s, he and several other people founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, now one of NASA's leading space－exploration centres.
After overcoming some difficulties during his final few years in the US, Qian returned to China in 1955.He received a hero's welcome from his homeland and was put in charge of not only developing China's rocket science but also its space and missile programme.At that time, China was poor and its rocket science was undeveloped.No institute or university in China offered rocket science as a major, and there were no talents or experts in this field in China.Nevertheless, Qian did not let that discourage him from taking on the challenge.When he was asked “Can we Chinese possibly make missiles？”， his reply was a determined “Why not We Chinese are able to make the same things that other people make.”
Under Qian's leadership, China developed the Dongfeng missiles, followed by the first generation of Long March rockets.In 1970, China successfully launched its first man－made satellite, Dong Fang Hong Ⅰ， from a Long March rocket.Because much of the technology behind the Shenzhou spacecraft can also be traced back to Qian's research, Qian earned the name of “the father of China's aerospace”．
Qian read a lot and was extremely knowledgeable，especially in the area of frontier science research.However, what might have made him such an outstanding and creative scientist was probably his strong interest in other things, such as music and drawing. His deep appreciation for art often gave him inspiration in his scientific research.
On 31 October 2009, the whole country was saddened by Qian's death, and people honoured and remembered him in different ways.

Working at Ruijin Hospital, Wang has been devoting his life to the treatment of leukemia.He received the country's highest honor in science and technology in 2010.
Born in 1924 in Shanghai, Wang was inspired by a family friend's experience of pursuing a career in medicine as a child.His grandmother's death caused by typhoid further strengthened his resolve to fight against diseases and rescue patients.With outstanding academic performance, Wang became a doctor at Guangci Hospital, today's Ruijin Hospital.
In 1978, a research paper from Israeli experts gave Wang inspiration on studying how leukemia cells could become normal.His research didn't progress as expected, though.In 1983, another research paper shed light on his study.As the paper suggested, after being treated with 13－cis－retinoic acid, white blood cells in patients with APL could become normal.Considering the difficulties and high cost of producing a drug made from 13－cis－retinoic acid, Wang's team decided to replace that ingredient with ATRA, and they finally verified its positive effect after several months' experiments.In 1986, the drug was first adopted in treating a five－year－old patient.It turned out successful.After eight years of research, Wang's team eventually made the first breakthrough in the battle against APL.
To make sure every APL patient could afford the medicine, Wang has not patented his research result to date.“One cannot be a real doctor if one does not have expertise in medicine，” Wang said in an interview.“However, without a kind heart, a skilled doctor may cause harm to patients.”
Having worked in the field of hematopathology (血液病理学) for over 70 years, Wang has been well recognized for his remarkable contribution to saving lives.

Anyone who has ever taken chemistry has studied the periodic table (元素周期表)．Most people who have memorized the elements in the periodic table have probably not given any thought to who created it.In 1869，Dmitri Mendeleev published the very first periodic table.Although there were a few people who attempted to create a periodic table，Mendeleev's table was the most complete of all of them.
Dmitri Mendeleev was born on February 8, 1834 in Tobolsk Governorate, the Russian Empire.His father was a teacher of philosophy and fine arts.Mendeleev was the youngest of more than a dozen children.His father lost his teaching position when he became blind.His mother had to go to work to support the family by restarting the family glass factory.
That worked out until Dmitri Mendeleev was 15，when the factory burned down.As a teenager，Mendeleev was educated at Main Pedagogical Institute in Saint Petersburg, Russia.As a 21－year－old in 1855，he wrote a textbook called Organic Chemistry and won the Demidov Prize, making him a major leader in the world of Russian chemistry education.Mendeleev earned a Master's degree in chemistry in 1856.
On April 4, 1862, right after he wrote his first book, Dmitri Mendeleev proposed (求婚) to Feozva Nikitichna Leshcheva.The couple got married three weeks later at a church in Saint Petersburg.They ended their marriage nine years later after having a daughter.Nearly 20 years after he married his first wife，he got married to Anna Ivanova Popova.Mendeleev had four children from his marriage to Anna Popova Mendeleev.A couple of years before his death，Dmitri Mendeleev was awarded membership of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.Despite many scientists who worked on their own periodic tables ahead of Mendeleev, he has gone down in history as the father of the periodic table.

On July 14, 2017, Maryam Mirzakhani, Stanford professor of mathematics and the first female winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics, died at the age of 40.
The news was especially hard－hitting for a generation of younger academics who have always held Maryam as a role model whose example is helping redefine women's status in science and especially in mathematics. What was fun was that Maryam always tried to avoid the media's spotlight. Despite being the first woman to gain such high status in the world of mathematics — winning what's often called the “Nobel Prize of Math” — her modesty (谦虚) and simplicity stood out to those who knew her.
Maryam originally wanted to be a writer, a passion of hers that never faded away even during her postgraduate studies. However, she found an even greater joy in how rewarding it felt to solve mathematical problems. As a student, she was the first female member of Iran's national team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), and she won two gold medals in two years, which is still a record.
She received her bachelor's degree in Iran and later studied at Harvard. In 2014, Maryam was recognized with the Fields Medal, the highest－ranking award in mathematics. Her work focused on curved surfaces like spheres (球体). Her achievements have applications in other scientific fields including engineering and material science. Unfortunately, at that time she was already tackling the breast cancer.
Maryam's legend (传奇故事) may continue to grow after her early death. Still only 20 percent of full－time math teachers at US universities are women. The example of a woman who rose to the top of this still very male field may help inspire math's next generation.
In the same way people think of Marie Curie or Jane Goodall as scientific pioneers, Maryam Mirzakhani will go down in history as a trailblazer as well as a mathematical genius.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了英年早逝的数学天才、斯坦福大学数学教授、首位菲尔兹数学奖女性得主 Maryam Mirzakhani对数学的贡献及其影响，她将作为开路先锋和数学天才被载入史册。

How to become a scientist
Be curious.Scientists choose to become scientists because they are curious about the world around them and how the things in it work.This curiosity leads them to investigate the how and why behind what they see.
__13__ Becoming a scientist takes a long time.There are very few careers that take longer than this one.Even when you're doing with your education, you still have to get research under your belt.If you're an instant－gratification (即时满足) type of person, this may not be the right career for you.
Be diligent and persevere.It's been said that jobs in science are the lowest paid in the US.What this is getting at is that because of the long path to success, for a while you won't be living lavishly (奢华地)．__14__
Have the need to always keep learning. __15__ Whether it's reading peer－reviewed journals, attending seminars, or working toward getting yourself published, you'll always be learning.
__16__ In those years of waiting for results, you need to constantly be looking for the smallest changes in what you expect to see.Your eye needs to be focused and ready at all times.
Think differently.Think back to Newton's apple falling on his head or Archimedes jumping into his tub and displacing water.Most people would think nothing of these events, but these men saw something else, something no one else was seeing at the time. __17__
A．Observation skills are also necessary.
B．Be patient in climbing the career ladder.
C．Things are going to be tough for a while.
D．Then you're probably made of the right stuff.
E．As the saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
F．Actually what every scientist does is to seek out knowledge.
G．To make progress in human knowledge, you have to think differently.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何成为科学家提供了几点建议，如：要有好奇心和耐心，要勤奋并且持之以恒等。
13．解析：选B　根据空后内容“要成为科学家需要很长的时间”可知，B项“攀登事业阶梯要有耐心”可作为本段的主旨句。
14．解析：选C　上文提到“这是因为在通往成功的漫长道路上，有一段时间，你不会过着奢华的生活”。由此可知，C项“有一段时间情况可能很艰难”承接上文，符合语境。
15．解析：选F　本段的主旨句是“要不断学习”。F项“实际上每个科学家所做的都是寻求知识”与语境相符，并衔接下文内容。
16．解析：选A　根据下文的“在等待结果的那些年里，你需要不断地寻找你期望看到的最小变化”可知，有观察的技能是必要的，所以A项可作为本段主旨句。
17．解析：选G　本段的主旨句是“要有不同的思维方式”。G项“要想在人类知识上取得进步，你必须有不同的思维方式”与主旨句相呼应。UNIT 4　课时检测(一)　“Reading”的课文习读环节
