19.An eighteen-year-old high school student from Utah won the top prize in the Intel Science Talent Search in the United States.The winner received a computer and a scholarship for a college education.More than 1,500students from across the country entered projects in the competition this year.Their research included chemistry,medicine,physics,mathematics,engineering,and computer science-almost every area of science.
Forty students were invited to Washington,D.C.for the final judging.A group of scientists judged them on their research abilities,Critical thinking skills and creativity.The judges also questioned the students about scientific problems before deciding on the winners.
The top winner received 100,000dollars for college.Shannon Babb of American Fork High School studied the water quality of tile Spanish Fork River in Utah for six years.She found that people have a harmful effect on the river through human activity,including agriculture.And she suggested ways to improve the water quality in the future.These include educating the public not to put household chemicals down the drains(下水道),which lead to the river eventually.
Seventeen-year-old Yi Sun of the Hanker School in San Jose,California,earned the second place.He won a 75,000dollar scholarship for new discoveries about a mathematical theory known as random walks.His work could help computer scientists and chemists.Yi Sun was born in China.
The third-place winner was also seventeen and born in China.Yuan"Chelsea"Zhang of Montgomery Blair High School in Rockville,Maryland,won a 50,000dollar scholarship.She researched the molecular genetics(分子遗传学)of heart disease.Her findings could aid the development of new medicines.

分析 文章报道了美国的the Intel Science Talent Search 的比赛,介绍获奖学生的情况,和获奖的原因.
解答 51.C推理题:从第二段的第一句话,可知有1500名学生参加比赛,但是只有40个人被邀请参加决赛,所以只是小部分学生,选C
52.C细节题:从文章第四段的句子:Shannon Babb of American Fork High School studied the water quality of tile Spanish Fork River in Utah for six years.She found that people have a harmful effect on the river through human activity,including agriculture.And she suggested ways to improve the water quality in the future.These include educating the public not to put household chemicals down the drains(下水道),which lead to the river eventually.可知Shannon Babb 提出不止一个方法改善水的质量,选C
53.B细节题:从文章倒数第二段的句子:The third-place winner was also seventeen and born in China.Yuan"Chelsea"Zhang of Montgomery Blair High School in Rockville,Maryland,won a 50,000-dollar scholarship.She researched the molecular genetics(分子遗传学)of heart disease.Her findings could aid the development of new medicines.可知她的奖金是Shannon Babb.的一半,她的研究会有助于心脏病的疗法,并且她和第二名获胜者有相同的地方,但是没有说她的发现对中药有帮助,选B
54.D主旨题:从全篇文章和第一段的句子:可知这篇文章讲的是美国the Intel Science Talent Search比赛获胜者的情况,所以选 D
55.A文章出处题:文章报道了美国的the Intel Science Talent Search 的比赛,介绍获奖学生的情况,和获奖的原因,所以是新闻类的文章,应该出现在报纸上,选A
