Step 3 剖析——长句难句
1.In the 1960s,many people were dying of malaria,and in 1969 Tu became head of a team that intended to find a cure for the disease.(P44,Para.3)
[结构分析] 此句是并列复合句。and连接两个并列分句;第二个分句中that引导定语从句,并在从句中作主语,先行词是a team。
[汉语翻译] 20世纪60年代,很多人死于疟疾,于是1969年屠呦呦担任了一个旨在找到疟疾疗法的小组组长。
2.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.(P45,Para.3)
[结构分析] 此句是简单句。动词-ed形式短语inspired by...作原因状语;两个并列谓语为redesigned和tried;in order not to...作目的状语。
[汉语翻译] 据一本1 600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,屠呦呦重新设计了实验,为了不破坏其(抗疟的)有效成分,她尝试在低温下提取青蒿。
3.However,it was hard to produce enough qinghao extract for large trials because research resources were limited.(P45,Para.4)
[结构分析] 此句是复合句。主句是it was hard to produce enough qinghao extract for large trials,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语to produce...;because引导原因状语从句。

A
Some educators are trying to engage(吸引) students’ attention with technology,such as educational videos,computer gaming and AI,just to name a few.But using these methods in the classroom can be very challenging.Teachers using these tools often struggle to keep students focusing on the materials,competing with the latest social media,and can feel limited by using them to get some knowledge across.Graphic novels(图画小说) offering visual information married with text provide a means to engage students in the classroom.
Educators have used this method in their teaching.For example,instead of filling out problem sheets,students in a math class were asked to read a mystery called Who Killed Professor X In this story,all of the suspects(嫌疑人) are famous mathematicians.As they tried to figure out the connections between the suspects,students often forgot that they were doing math focusing instead of finding secret details to solve the problem.Although this is just one experience for these students,it improves their confidence and shows them how math can be fun.
Jason Ho,an assistant professor at Dordt University,uses Max the Demon vs Entropy of Doom to teach his physics students about a topic.This topic can be particularly difficult for some students because they can’t physically touch something.Ho said graphic novels can create an engaging learning environment,and most of his students now understand the subject by getting clear explanations for some ideas.
Although the Internet offers a lot of math and physics resources,it can be tiring to search through many hours of videos to find the perfect one to get the “aha!” moment in learning.Graphic novels provide a starting point with a wide range of topics.Want to learn about programming Try the Secret Coders series.Need more female role models in science Astronauts: Women on the Final Frontier could be just what you’re looking for.
With all that graphic novels offered,we believe that the right set of graphic novels can inspire future scientists as much as any single person can.

B(此篇精读)
Ask most folks who came up with the theory of evolution,and they’ll tell you it was Charles Darwin.In fact,Alfred Russel Wallace,another British naturalist,was a co-discoverer① of the theory—though Darwin has gotten most of the credit.Actually,Wallace outlived② Darwin by 17 years,long enough to see evolutionary theory gain acceptance.
Wallace developed his most important ideas about natural selection during an eight-year expedition(探险) to what was then the Dutch East Indies—modern-day Indonesia—to observe wildlife and collect specimens(标本).Few places on earth can match this region’s huge diversity of plant and animal life.Wallace collected more than 100,000 insect,bird and animal specimens,which he gave to British museums.
By 1855,Wallace had come to the conclusion that living things evolve.But he didn’t figure out how until one night three years later.He was on the island of Halmahera,ill with a fever,when it came to him:Animals evolve by adapting to their environment.As soon as he could,Wallace wrote his theory down in a nine-page paper,says Tony Whitten,a Wallace expert.“He sent that to Darwin,as an older mentor(导师),if you like,to have a peer review before publication,” Whitten says.
Darwin had reached the same conclusion years earlier,and Wallace’s letter inspired him to act.The two men published a joint(联合的) paper in 1858,arguing the theory of evolution and natural selection.It shook mankind’s assumptions about its origins.The following year,Darwin published his book On the Origin of Species and rose to fame③.Over time,however,Wallace faded(逐渐消失) from the public memory.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阿尔弗雷德·拉塞尔·华莱士是如何形成他的自然选择理论的,以及他和达尔文共同发表进化论和自然选择理论的过程。
5.How did Wallace develop his ideas about natural selection
A.By travelling around the world.
B.By studying specimens in the museums.
C.By researching wild animals and plants.
D.By debating with other scientists.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Wallace developed his most important ideas about natural selection...to observe wildlife and collect specimens(标本).”可知,华莱士是通过研究野生动植物形成了他的自然选择理论的。故选C。
6.Why did Wallace send his paper to Darwin
A.To claim authorship of the study.
B.To ask for financial support.
C.To challenge Darwin’s opinion.
D.To seek feedback before publication.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中“He sent that to Darwin,as an older mentor(导师),if you like,to have a peer review before publication(他将这篇论文寄给了达尔文——可以说视其为前辈导师——希望在发表前获得同行评议)”可知,华莱士把他的论文寄给达尔文是希望在论文出版前得到达尔文的反馈。故选D。
7.What happened after the joint paper was published
A.People began to doubt their origin.
B.The two scientists became well-known.
C.Darwin arrived at the same conclusion.
D.They immediately co-authored another book.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The two men published a joint(联合的) paper in 1858,arguing the theory of evolution and natural selection.It shook mankind’s assumptions about its origins.(1858年,两人发表了一篇联合论文,论述了进化论和自然选择理论。它动摇了人类对其起源的假设)”可知,联合论文被发表后,人们开始怀疑自己的起源。故选A。
8.What is the best title for the text
A.The Untold Story of Charles Darwin
B.The Other Man Behind Evolutionary Theory
C.The Development of the Theory of Evolution
D.The Expedition That Changed the World
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。根据第一段和全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了阿尔弗雷德·拉塞尔·华莱士是如何形成他的自然选择理论的,以及他和达尔文共同发表进化论和自然选择理论的过程。全文围绕华莱士在进化论中的关键角色展开,强调他是被忽视的另一位贡献者。由此可知,B选项“进化论背后的另一个人”最符合文章标题。故选B。
[语境猜词]
①co-discoverer(派)=co+discover+er n.共同发现者
②outlive(派)=out+live v.比……活得长
③rise to fame声名鹊起
[句式分析]
Wallace developed his most important ideas about natural selection during an eight-year expedition to what was then the Dutch East Indies—modern-day Indonesia—to observe wildlife and collect specimens.
分析:此句为复合句。what引导的是宾语从句,作介词to的宾语;to observe wildlife and collect specimens为to do不定式短语作目的状语。
翻译:华莱士对当时的荷属东印度群岛(现在的印度尼西亚)进行了为期8年的考察,观察野生动植物并收集标本,期间他形成了关于自然选择的最重要观点。

B(此篇精读)
Ask most folks who came up with the theory of evolution,and they’ll tell you it was Charles Darwin.In fact,Alfred Russel Wallace,another British naturalist,was a co-discoverer① of the theory—though Darwin has gotten most of the credit.Actually,Wallace outlived② Darwin by 17 years,long enough to see evolutionary theory gain acceptance.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阿尔弗雷德·拉塞尔·华莱士是如何形成他的自然选择理论的,以及他和达尔文共同发表进化论和自然选择理论的过程。
Wallace developed his most important ideas about natural selection during an eight-year expedition(探险) to what was then the Dutch East Indies—modern-day Indonesia—to observe wildlife and collect specimens(标本).Few places on earth can match this region’s huge diversity of plant and animal life.Wallace collected more than 100,000 insect,bird and animal specimens,which he gave to British museums.
By 1855,Wallace had come to the conclusion that living things evolve.But he didn’t figure out how until one night three years later.He was on the island of Halmahera,ill with a fever,when it came to him:Animals evolve by adapting to their environment.As soon as he could,Wallace wrote his theory down in a nine-page paper,says Tony Whitten,a Wallace expert.“He sent that to Darwin,as an older mentor(导师),if you like,to have a peer review before publication,” Whitten says.
Darwin had reached the same conclusion years earlier,and Wallace’s letter inspired him to act.The two men published a joint(联合的) paper in 1858,arguing the theory of evolution and natural selection.It shook mankind’s assumptions about its origins.The following year,Darwin published his book On the Origin of Species and rose to fame③.Over time,however,Wallace faded(逐渐消失) from the public memory.
5.How did Wallace develop his ideas about natural selection
A.By travelling around the world.
B.By studying specimens in the museums.
C.By researching wild animals and plants.
D.By debating with other scientists.

细节理解题。根据第二段中“Wallace developed his most important ideas about natural selection...to observe wildlife and collect specimens(标本).”可知,华莱士是通过研究野生动植物形成了他的自然选择理论的。故选C。
解析
6.Why did Wallace send his paper to Darwin
A.To claim authorship of the study.
B.To ask for financial support.
C.To challenge Darwin’s opinion.
D.To seek feedback before publication.

细节理解题。根据第三段中“He sent that to Darwin,as an older mentor(导师),if you like,to have a peer review before publication(他将这篇论文寄给了达尔文——可以说视其为前辈导师——希望在发表前获得同行评议)”可知,华莱士把他的论文寄给达尔文是希望在论文出版前得到达尔文的反馈。故选D。
解析
7.What happened after the joint paper was published
A.People began to doubt their origin.
B.The two scientists became well-known.
C.Darwin arrived at the same conclusion.
D.They immediately co-authored another book.
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The two men published a joint(联合的) paper in 1858,arguing the theory of evolution and natural selection.It shook mankind’s assumptions about its origins.(1858年,两人发表了一篇联合论文,论述了进化论和自然选择理论。它动摇了人类对其起源的假设)”可知,联合论文被发表后,人们开始怀疑自己的起源。故选A。
解析

8.What is the best title for the text
A.The Untold Story of Charles Darwin
B.The Other Man Behind Evolutionary Theory
C.The Development of the Theory of Evolution
D.The Expedition That Changed the World

标题归纳题。根据第一段和全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了阿尔弗雷德·拉塞尔·华莱士是如何形成他的自然选择理论的,以及他和达尔文共同发表进化论和自然选择理论的过程。全文围绕华莱士在进化论中的关键角色展开,强调他是被忽视的另一位贡献者。由此可知,B选项“进化论背后的另一个人”最符合文章标题。故选B。
