阅读理解

"I spent my whole life doing one thing," Gu Fangzhou once said. Known as "the father of sugar pills (糖丸)", Gu passed away on January 2, 2019. Eight months later, he received a national honorary-title (荣誉称号) "the People's Scientist" for his polio (脊髓灰质炎) research.

Gu Fangzhou, a famous medical scientist, was born in June, 1926. Gu's family faced a difficult time with the sudden death of his father. He studied hard and finally entered Peking University as a medical student in 1944. After graduation, Gu made the decision to work to help improve public health.

In 1955, polio broke out in Nantong, Jiangsu Province. It paralyzed (使瘫痪) 1,680 people, mostly children aged below seven. It spread to neighboring areas and resulted in 466 deaths. Gu was asked to lead polio research in 1957. "At that time the only way to prevent polio was to invent a vaccine (疫苗)," said Gu.

In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine. Later, he developed the "sugar-coated pill" vaccine in the early 1960s. It not only tasted better but was more affordable and easier to keep. To test the vaccine, Gu tried the vaccine in person and later his one-month-old son was vaccinated. This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids. They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. "If we don' t believe in what we produce, how can others believe in it?" said Gu.

Gradually, the sugar-coated polio vaccine was made available in China. It saved millions of people, especially kids, from being disabled. In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that China was already a polio-free country. "We feel satisfied. I can tell people that I tried my best, and your kids will no longer get polio," said Gu. "That's all we hoped for. "

 阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。

Daisy forgot to set the alarm clock (闹钟) so she had to run to catch the bus. This made her feel tired and rushed when she started her science test. After she handed in her test paper, she was certain that the test had not gone well. With a heavy heart, she left the classroom.

That afternoon, Daisy left school to work part-time at Beckman's. After she finished her work, Mrs. Beckman called her into the office. "Daisy," she said, "you have been a great worker. But business has been slow; we have to let you go."

Feeling down, Daisy left the office. As she walked slowly towards her aunt's house, she tried to think about the new hairstyle her aunt had promised her. When she arrived, Daisy showed her aunt a picture of the style she wanted.

"Well, you're done. What do you think?" Her aunt asked about an hour later.

What Daisy saw in the mirror left her speechless. It was nothing like the picture! How could she possibly go to school again?

The next morning, putting her things in her locker, she ran into Ms. Wilson, her science teacher.

"I know, Ms. Wilson, I did very poorly on the test. It's just that I forgot…"

"What are you talking about? Daisy, you did a great job!" Ms. Wilson said. "What I wanted to ask you is if you would be interested in working a few days a week after school as a lab assistant (助手). I need some help organizing all the materials." Daisy happily accepted.

"Daisy!" she heard as the rest of the students began to enter the building. "Where did you get your hair done?" She was so excited about her test and new job that she had completely forgotten about her hair.

"Wow! That is so cool!" she was told. She couldn't believe her ears. Everyone loved her hair.

What a couple of days it had been! Walking home, she smiled as the radio of a passing car played the song "What a Difference a Day Makes".

 请阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出一个最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Juice tastes good. But is it wise and healthy to drink juice? We asked three experts for their ideas. 

Bec Reynolds, a nutritionist(营养学家)

Drinking water is the best choice. However, if you don't like it and cannot drink milk, then it's better to drink juice than to have drinks that are "worse," like soft drinks. Both juice and soft drinks are sugary, but juice often have some vitamins, so you'd better not drink them. 

It would be better to drink juice that is made from many different vegetables. Few children eat enough vegetables. But vegetables are very important for the growth of your body. 

David Manton, a ____

There are two main reasons for not drinking juice. First, the sugar in it feeds the bacteria(细菌)on your teeth. In Australia, nearly half of all six-year-olds have at least one hole in their teeth. Drinks like fruit juice are part of the reason for this. 

Second, the acid(酸) in many different fruit juices can destroy the hard outer coating of your teeth. Once it's gone, it can't grow back. 

Sandro Demaio, a doctor 

Fruits like oranges and apples have fiber(纤维素). Fiber is very important. First, it slows down our eating. Second, it makes us feel full for longer. And third, it helps prevent the sugars going into our blood. Then we have fewer chances of getting weight, which can lead to many health problems. 

When we tum apples into apple juice, we remove most of the fiber. Sometimes, even the vitamins are lost. What we don't lose, though, is the sugar. So try not to drink juice.

In China, it's common to see people on the streets using their fans(扇子) to beat the heat in summer. However, the traditional Chinese fan is not just a tool for cooling down, but a symbol of traditional Chinese culture.

The history of Chinese fans goes back to the Shang Dynasty (朝代) ( about 1600 B. C~1046 B. C). One of the earliest fans was known as Shanhan. It was a bit like today's umbrella. It tried to keep people away from the strong sunshine and rainfall. Later, Shanhan developed into a long- handled fan called Zhangshan(障扇).

In fact, the fan was not used to help people cool down until the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, fans were usually made of birds' feathers and mainly used by the emperors. Later, bamboo fans and cattail- leaf fans(蒲扇) were invented during the Han Dynasty. Both were most popular among the common people during the Song Dynasty.

Years later, the folding fan was introduced. It soon became popular. However, the best thing of a folding fan was the pictures on it. If a famous person painted the fan, it could cost a lot of money. For example, a folding fan painted by Zhang Daqian was sold for$252,000. Qi Baishi and Xu Beiho ng were also well known.

Throughout history, Chinese fans have stood the test of time. Today, there are more than 500 kinds of fans in China, attracting a great number of fan lovers both at home and abroad. However, it's difficult to carry on our traditional skills of making fans among young people now for many reasons. Luckily, Tag Design madea meaningful try. It developed an app " Folding Fan" which introduces the skills for making traditional folding fans. With the help of technology, these fan- making skills are surely able to stay alive forever.
