分析 据报道，2015年诺贝尔奖已在十月五号宣布．瑞典的诺贝尔奖委员会说诺贝尔医药学奖由爱尔兰，日本，中国的科学家获得．中国获得医药学奖的是屠呦呦．她发现了青蒿素，青蒿素可以降低疟疾患者的死亡人数的一种药物．委员会说，她最大的成就在于，青蒿素的发现打开了全世界对抗两种恶疾的新大门．据统计那些疾病每年影响上百万的人．屠女士是中国中医科学院的首席教授．她也是第一个获得诺贝尔医药学奖的中国人．屠女士成功前经历了四十次失败．但她从不放弃，一直在战斗．

解答 36：D  此处考查名词词意   physics 物理学；math 数学； chemistry 化学；medicine 医药学  由下文"The prize for medicine is going to Chinese researcher Tu Youyou"可知，此处为"medicine"故选D
37：A  此处考查几个同义词的用法   discover 发现，发现的事物是本来存在的； find 找到，发现 强调找到的结果；invent 发明，发明的事物是本不存在的． 青蒿素是本就存在的，只是刚开始没被发现，故选discovered
38：C  此处考查动词短语    fight for 为…而战；fight against 与…作斗争；at，in没有此搭配． 此处意为"与两种恶疾作斗争"，故选C against
39：A  此处考查序数词    众所周知屠呦呦是我国第一位获得诺贝尔医药学奖的人． 根据事实推断，此处应选A first
40：B  此处考查动词短语   ate up吃完； gave up 放弃； took up开始从事； made up编造   根据语境她从不_，一直在战斗．可知知，此处为"放弃"的意思，never give up从不放弃．故选B
