Tu Youyou was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Oct. 5th, 2015. She was the first Chinese citizen 【1】(earn) a Nobel Prize in science. Tu shared the prize with the Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan.

Tu is a researcher at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences now. She was given the prize 【2】 developing artemisinin（青蒿素）--- 【3】 new drug method against malaria, with 【4】 millions of lives worldwide have been saved 【5】(incredible).

Tu and her colleagues joined a government project to find a new malaria drug in the late 1960s. 【6】 nearly two hundred failures Tu's team experienced, they finally found an extract（提取物） that was 100% effective against malaria in 1971. In 2001, artemisinin 【7】(make) the first choice in the treatment of malaria by the World Health Organization.

It was considered by some foreign scientists that 【8】 Tu discovered would definitely bring great reputation for herself. However, Tu said, "The discovery of artemisinin itself is a gift to human from traditional Chinese medicine. It's the 【9】(achieve) of the research team. " As China Daily has reported, 【10】(win) the prize is an honour for Chinese science and medicine.

I stood on the deck, 【1】( stare) at the huge waves. From the moment we had left port and sailed into the English Channel, 【2】 weather had got worse and worse. Now, lightning flashed across the sky , 【3】was covered in dark clouds.

Suddenly, the noise of the engines stopped. The ship slowed, rolling heavily in the rough sea. A voice over the loudspeaker told us 【4】(remain) calm — then added that a fire 【5】(start) in the engine room, and said that all passengers must go 【6】(immediate) to the nearest lifeboat station.

We all ran onto the deck, following the signs to the lifeboats. The ship’s officers arrived, made sure we had life jackets and showed us 【7】 to put them on.

I looked again in horror at the wild, stormy sea. The 【8】(think) of being out there in a tiny boat was 【9】 (terrify). Minutes passed like hours, until at last a voice announced that everything was 【10】 control and the danger was over.We all cheered as the engines started again and the ship moved forward into the waves.

I still couldn’t believe it was over, though — not until we had reached port and I was standing on solid ground again!

On a spring day around 1，300 years ago，Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei was on his way to a border town in northwestern China. Impressed by the 【1】 （beautiful）of a desert beside the Yellow River，he stopped off and wrote a timeless classic poem："In the vast desert rises straight，lonely smoke；the grand，long river 【2】（reflect）the round setting sun."

Most people think of Ningxia 【3】 a dry and remote place. This is true in some ways. However，what makes Ningxia unique is 【4】 it is both rough，like much of northern China，and also delicate，like southern China. The Yellow River provides Ningxia with wide plains and rich soil. It is rich enough that people can grow rice there. Unlike most northerners，rice is the 【5】 (big) crop in Ningxia.

Although Ningxia is old-fashion and traditional in many ways, it is also making new technological 【6】 (achievement) as well. For example, Ningxia is developing 【7】 (it) cloud computing industry. The city of Zhongwei is home 【8】the Western Cloud Base. Poor transportation has limited Ningxia's development for some time, as the area is landlocked. But that is starting【9】 (change) as well. There are three high-speed railways being 【10】(build) in Ningxia, which will connect the region with Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and Gansu.

Developers now have Chinatown in their sights. Two years ago one built a 17-storey apartment building on its edge. This alarmed many residents，who had formed a group to stop the high-rise advance，now called #SaveChinatownYVR. Ms Melody Ma is its leader. Recently it has been successful.

The main theatre of battle is a car park known as 105 Keefer，where Beedie Living plans to build a nine-storey brick-and-glass apartment block. The developer promises 111 luxury flats，with rooftop landscaping and shops below.

105 Keefer is in an area rich with cultural associations. Just to the south is a monument to Chinese-Canadian builders of the Canadian Pacific Railway and veterans of the Second World War. Across the street is the Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum. "A lot of people were frightened" because of the building's "closeness to sacred sites in the heart of Chinatown", says Ms Ma. Some residents also fear that it will push up rents.

Conservationists hope that the parking lot is where they can stop development, which they say has spoil the charm of other Vancouver neighbourhoods such as Mount Pleasant. The dispute（分歧）is part of a debate about the city's identity，says Andy Yan，an urban planner. Vancouverites， he says，are asking themselves，"Who are we？And what are we building for？"The people who might want to buy the flats that do not yet exist are，of course，not being consulted.

In a newspaper, researchers find that a prolonged(延长的) growing season due to increased temperatures, combined with the natural cooling effects of large fields of plants, have had a major contribution to improved corn production in the U.S. “Our research shows that improvements in crop yields depend, in part, on improvements in climate,” said Peter Huybers, professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences. “In this case, changing temperatures have had a beneficial impact on agricultural production, but there is no guarantee that benefit will last as the climate continues to change.

Understanding the detailed relationships between climate and crop yields is important as we move towards feeding a growing population on a changing planet. ” The researchers modeled the relationship between temperature and crop yields from 1981 to 2017 across the so-called Corn Belt. They found that as temperatures increased due to global climate change, planting days got earlier and earlier, shifting by about three days per decade. Early planting means the corn has more time to mature before the end of the growing season.

There is also a second, more surprising trend that has benefited corn yields. Whereas the vast majority of temperatures have warmed over the last century, the hottest days during the Midwestern growing season have actually cooled.

The researchers estimate that more than one quarter of the increase in crop yields since 1981 can be attributed to the twin effects of a longer growing season and less exposure to high temperatures, suggesting that the crop yield is more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.

The researchers also show that the planting and harvest dates farmers currently use is significantly better adapted to the present climate than it would be to climates in earlier decades.

【1】What is previously thought to be the reason for the increase of corn production?

A.Local temperature change.B.Advanced farming technology.

C.Climate change.D.Production efficiency.

【2】Why is it important to understand the relationships between climate and crop yield?

A.The climate has a beneficial impact on agriculture.

B.We can change the climate to improve crop yield.

C.We depend on the climate to get food.

D.Crop yield relies less on the climate.

【3】How many factors that benefit corn yields are mentioned in the text?

A.4.B.3.

C.2.D.1.

【4】What is the main purpose of the text?

A.To explain a mystery.B.To question a common sense.

C.To show a new trend.D.To introduce a research result.

Every four years, millions of people gather in summer 【1】(watch) soccer games. This year, the World Cup kicked off on June 14 in Russia.

Specially prepared for the most exciting sporting event, Live It Up, the official World Cup song, was released on May 25. 【2】(perform) by US artists Nicky Jam, Will Smith, and Albanian singer Era Istref, the song has a line that goes, "One life, live it up, because we got one life."

With a great melody(旋律)and attractive lyrics, the song stands for "the 【3】(excite), the celebration and the unity 【4】 people all over the world would share during the 2018 World Cup". In fact, the relationship between soccer and music 【5】(grow) stronger and stronger since the first official World Cup song came out in 1966. As a newspaper The Telegraph said, "Listening to inspiring music encourages people to take more risks."

One of the greatest soccer 【6】(coach), Giovanni Trapattoni, even believes that listening to music can teach players great lessons. "It is the intervals(中间休息), speed, and rhythm 【7】 help you learn the logical skills you need to read a game." he said.

【8】（actual）, the right music can make all the difference. As Colombian musician Juanes said, soccer and music have a lot 【9】 common. "You need your feet for soccer and you need words for music, but they make us think of one and 【10】 same thing--- passion."
