21、Tu Youyou, 84, honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Oct 5, 2015. She was the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in science for her work in helping to create an anti-malaria(疟疾) medicine.
In 1967, Communist leader Mao Zedong decided there was an urgent national need to find a cure for malaria. At the time, malaria spread by mosquitoes was killing Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later, Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of Mission 523. Researchers in Mission523 pored over ancient books to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for an anti-malarial drug, over 240,000 compounds(化合物) around the world had already been tested, without any success.
Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood（青蒿）, which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 AD. The team isolated one active compound in wormwood, artemisinin（青蒿素）, which appeared to battle malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）. The team then tested extracts（提取物） of the compound but nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she improved the drug recipe one final time, heating the extract without allowing it to reach boiling point.
After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. “As the head of the research group, I had the responsibility.” she explained.
【1】When did Ms. Tu start her malaria research?
A. When she was 84 years old
B. After she entered “Mission 523”.
C. In 1967
D. When malaria become serious among ordinary Chinese people.
【2】What can we learn about the discovery of anti-malaria drug?
A. The process of testing extracts of the compound is very smooth.
B. No one had ever done any research on it before Tu and her team.
C. The idea of using wormwood to treat malaria was from ancient Chinese text
D. Heating the extract until it reaches boiling point is necessary.
【3】 The underlined phrases “pore over” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. think about B. pay attention to
C. search for D. go over
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Tu Youyou?
A. Responsible B. Traditional
C. Stubborn D. Lucky
22、 Nowadays，cats and dogs are popular pets. However，when it comes to the relationship with their owners，cats are usually seen as unfriendly and distant with respect to their owners，compared with dogs. It is usual for them to be indifferent(漠不关心的)when humans call their names. Are we sure that they don't understand human voices at all？
A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we've been fooled.
Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them.
In the study，scientists studied 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words they heard were some nouns that resembled their names while the final word they heard was just the cat's name. Then they observed the cats' responses，if there were any.
Most cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names，while they made no response to other words which sounded seemingly like their names.
That suggested，"cats were paying attention to you，what you say and what you do，"John Bradshaw，an expert on human-animal relations at the University of Bristol，UK，told The Times.
“And cats were just as good as dogs at learning，"she added.
In the study，when people called their names，cats often connected the words with rewards，such as food or play，or with punishments such as having a bath or going to the vet. This made cats sensitive(敏感的)to words. After the cats had been called several times，they could respond to the words.
But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved to follow their owners' orders，cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant，they do have special relationships with their owners.
According to study co-author Atsuko Saito，cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness，which they tend to hide because in the wild，no one can save them and hunters are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.
However，technology may help bridge the communication gap between our feline(猫科的)friends and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So，the next time you hear "meow，meow"，your cat may be telling you:“Hi，you haven't cleaned my liter box recently.”
【1】The underlined word “resembled” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by______.
A.were limited to B.were similar to
C.were different from D.were away from
【2】The cats appear distant to their human owners in that______.
A.they are not sensitive to human voices
B.they want to protect themselves from harm
C.they always connect words with punishments
D.they failing to pay attention to their surroundings
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A.It's important to communicate with cats.
B.It's difficult to understand the cats' needs.
C.Cats have a good relationship with their owners.
D.We may know cats better with the help of technology.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Cats do understand their owners. B.Cats are cleverer than dogs.
C.Cats are distant from their owners. D.Cats show respect for their owners.

Graph can be a very useful tool for conveying information especially numbers， percentages, and other data . A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot more pages and pages and pages explaining the data .
Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a title ,a main idea ,and supporting details .You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text .
Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title , a legend or key, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well. The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown. A legend, also called a key ,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner, Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph .Each axis will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts. In Graph 1 ,we see that the x-axis shows grades that students earned, and the y-axis shows bow many students earned each grade .You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this(See Graph 1).
Line Graphs
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph ,but instead of Bars, it plots points and connects them with a line .It has the same parts as a bar graph – two labeled axes –and can be read the same way .To read a line graph, it’s important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points, This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time.
Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first Five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers. Thus we can see that ,on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled dawn, as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the bird’s migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections, and each section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents l00 percent, so each piece is a fraction of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows on month’s expense, (See Graph 3 ).
Food $ 25
Movies $ 12
Clothing $ 36
Savings $ 20
Books $ 7

24、If there is a building which symbolizes a country—such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia—then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India.
It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. From the time they got married, they wouldn't be separated. She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and was loved by his people for her good work. But she died in 1631 during childbirth. The emperor was heart－broken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.
It took more than 20 years for the Taj Mahal to be built. Workers were brought in, not only from all over India, but from Central Asia too. A total of 20,000 people worked on the building.
In 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill, and in 1658 his son Aurangzeb, imprisoned (囚禁) his father and seized power. Shah Jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666. He was finally buried there with his wife he could never forget.
The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit. As it is built with white marble stones, its character changes in different lights. It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. At sunset, for example, the colour of the Taj changes from white to yellow, then to pink. As the moon rises, it turns a silvery white.
