Question

【题目】 Have you ever dreamed of meeting top scientists in person? If so, what would you want to ask them? For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No.2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true.

In October, she attended the World Laureates Forum(论坛)for a second time. Tan was by far the youngest participant among the scientists invited to be at the meeting of the world's sharpest minds. Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence(菲波那契数列)and Bézout numbers has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions. This finding has been praised by the famous Canadian mathematician, Professor Rankin. According to Guangming Daily, Rankin has been studying the same theme for five years but with no conclusions.

From a very young age, Tan has always been fascinated by mathematics. This is largely because of the influence of her father, who teaches mathematics in University. But she had not participated in any Mathematics Olympiad exams before. According to Xu Jun, Tan's head teacher from her middle and high school, she doesn't take after-school classes or too many extra exercises either. Her mastering of Further Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method.

Attending this forum enabled Tan to get more inspiration from top scientists. She asked Professor Miesenbock, the 2019 Warren Alpert Foundation Prize winner, what he considered were the best personal qualities for conducting scientific research. Miesenbock encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does. He stressed that people all knew that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb. Tan has met many barriers in her research and often feels upset. The words made Tan feel inspired. "I will keep my curiosity and interests in mathematics and overcome any obstacles(障碍)in my research," she told Chinese Business View.

本文是新闻报道。10月29日，第二届世界顶尖科学家论坛开幕，全球顶尖科学家汇聚上海，共同探讨科学发展前沿问题。本届大会还邀请了不少青少年，最年轻的一位就是来自华东师大二附中高一的谈方琳同学。谈方琳是迄今为止被邀请参加世界上最具头脑会议的科学家中最年轻的一位

【1】猜测词义题。第二段提到了Her discovery about the relationship between the Fibonacci sequence(菲波那契数列)and Bézout numbers has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions. 谈方琳在数学方面的突出成就。根据下文This is largely because of the influence of her father, who teaches mathematics in University.和Her mastering of Further Mathematics and her good grades in school are thanks to the right study method.可知她数学突出的原因是受父亲的影响，并且有好的学习方法。结合上下文可知画线词语的句意为：从很小的时候起，谈方琳就一直对数学着迷。fascinated “着迷”与attracted同义，故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据第一段For Tan Fanglin, a 15-year-old girl from No.2 High School of East China Normal University in Shanghai, her dream of meeting top scientists has already come true.可知谈方琳参加了世界顶尖科学家论坛，已经实现了会见顶尖科学家的梦想。故选A。

【3】推理判断题。根据最后一段Miesenbock encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does.和The words made Tan feel inspired. "I will keep my curiosity and interests in mathematics and overcome any obstacles(障碍)in my research," she told Chinese Business View.可知Miesenbock鼓励她不要失去对她所做的事情的热情和爱，这些话让谈方琳受到鼓舞，她表示将保持对数学的好奇心和兴趣，克服研究中的任何障碍。故选C。

【4】主旨大意题。本文报道的是来自华东师大二附中高一的谈方琳同学参加了世界顶尖科学家论坛，成为迄今为止被邀请参加世界上最具头脑会议的科学家中最年轻的一位。受科学家鼓舞谈方琳表示将保持对数学的好奇心和兴趣，克服研究中的任何障碍。Top Minds Inspire Student.概括了文章内容，适合作为标题。故选A。
