Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to cool off with a chocolate ice-cream. It was an old-time store with little round tables and chairs.

As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted by some sadness that her face nearly touched the table top. I sat down facing her several tables away.

“Poor woman,” I thought. “What does she get out of life? Why God let people live so long past their prime?”

As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years… In minutes, the two of them were trembling with laughter.

I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself.

I was wearing a dirty shirt. She was well dressed in white, her hands shining with gold rings.

I was gloomy(愁闷的). She was laughing, smiling.

I was putting the pieces of my life together. She had millions of wonderful memories to recall.

I sat alone. She was sharing the day with a good friend.

I was secretly worried about getting old. She was old, but it wasn’t hurting her.

As I left the shop, I thought of my foolish question about God letting people live past their prime. Why, that woman was more alive, more sensitive to life than I was. Age has not bent her spirit.

Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.

Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）.

However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.

The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.

As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.

1.It can be concluded from the text that __________.

A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research

B. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatment

C. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work

D. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate

2.The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with__________.

A. a sense of national pride

B. relevant academic knowledge

C. enthusiasm for scientific research

D. a desire to achieve success

3.In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.

A. remind readers of the principles of scientific research

B. discourage the pursuit of instant success in science

C. inform readers of the news and make comments

D. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research

Clive Roberts，a director at ELS Educational Services，says English tests are changing greatly in response to the global growth in the use of English as a lingua franca— the common language used among people with different native languages．For that reason，a lot of new tests are being developed while old tests are being improved to meet the needs of universities and employers worldwide.

Changes in language testing

“A lot of tests are now delivered online，all four skills are being tested，in some cases，by computer，in particular speaking and writing skills，which are the most difficult to assess on a computer environment，”says Mr.Roberts.

Computer testing will reduce the length of time required for testing，because the tests adjust to the test-taker’s ability．These computer-adaptive tests also increase accuracy in scoring．Computer-adaptive tests change depending on the test-taker’s responses．They can become more or less difficult during the testing session．For this reason，the set of correct answers will be different for each test-taker．

Cultural sensitivity

Another change to language testing relates to cultural sensitivity．The term refers to material on a test that is based on a certain culture or is hard for test-takers from different cultures to understand．

Mr．Roberts says test development companies are now hiring people with intercultural communication backgrounds to review test items．The companies want to make sure the test does not upset test-takers．

Proficiency(精通程度)in language

Changes to English proficiency tests make them better at measuring the learners’ ability．However，Mr．Roberts says the changes may mean the tests are more difficult for some students．

“The tests have become more proficiency-oriented．The items are being designed in such a way that they test real-world proficiency and not simply sort of an artificial environment or a specific set of skills that are taught in a classroom．So a lot of authentic texts，a lot of authentic listening passages are being used．”

The changes mean students have to be able to understand English the way it is used in everyday life， not just in textbooks．

1.Which of the following can best replace the underlined words“a lingua franca”in Paragraph l?

A． a universal language B．a second language

C．a native language D．a mother tongue

2.Which of the following is true about online English tests?

A．Listening is more difficult to be tested online than speaking．

B．Online English tests need more time．

C．Online English tests make scoring more accurate．

D．Online English tests are more difficult．

3.Why is proficiency stressed in language testing?

A．To make the test more difficult．

B．To get learners to learn textbooks well．

C．To test learners’speaking ability．

D．To test learners’ real ability to use the language．

4.Which words can best describe the new English tests?

A． More accurate but easier．

B．Less practical but harder．

C． Better but harder．

D．Less popular but easier．

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult（成年人）population has a “weight problem.”. To many people, the cause is clear: We eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were slimmer than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch television.

Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people don't eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations (researches), such as a 1970 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.

Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts.

The more the men ran, the greater loss of body fat.

The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake(吸收)。

Thus those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost greatest amount of body fat.

1.What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?

A. They are too slim B. They work too hard

C. They are too fat D. They lose too much body fat.

2.Based on the statistics (数据) given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have weight problems?

A. 30 B. 50 C. 100 D. 150

3. Is there scientific evidence to support eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?

A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.

B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.

C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.

D. We don't know because the information is not given.

4.In comparison(比较)with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910____

A. ate more food and had more physical activities

B. ate less food but had more activities

C. ate less food and had less physical exercises

D. had more weight problems

5.What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?

A. Fat people eat less food and are less active.

B. Fat people eat more food than slim people and are less active.

C. Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.

D. Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake
