1.
Tu Youyou (1930-now, China)
In 1971, after she failed more than 190 times, Tu finally found artemisinin(青蒿素) in a plant. It's very effective against malaria(疟疾). This helped to save many lives around the world. In the past, about 30 million people in China suffered from malaria each year. Now, the number is zero. In 2015, Tu won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine(诺贝尔生理学或医学奖). She was the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize.

2.
Jane Goodall (1934-2025, the UK)
As a zoologist(动物学家), Jane Goodall spent her life studying chimpanzees(黑猩猩). She went to wild forests in Africa to live among chimpanzees and became their friend. She found that chimpanzees could make and use tools, have feelings like humans and show love and violence(暴力). Because of her findings, we see chimpanzees as smart and social animals.

Passage 31
全文翻译
两位研究者是怎样改变世界的
在植物中寻找希望
屠呦呦(1930年至今,中国)
1971年,在失败了190多次后,屠呦呦终于从一种植物中发现了青蒿素。它对治疗疟疾非常有效。这帮助拯救了世界各地的许多生命。过去,中国每年约有3000万人遭受疟疾之苦。如今,这个数字为零。2015年,屠呦呦荣获诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。她是首位获得诺贝尔奖的中国女性。
与野生动物共处
珍·古道尔(1934年至2025年,英国)
作为动物学家,珍·古道尔一生致力于研究黑猩猩。她前往非洲的原始森林,与黑猩猩共同生活,并成了它们的朋友。她发现黑猩猩能够制造和使用工具,拥有像人类一样的情感,并能表达爱与暴力。由于她的发现,我们将黑猩猩视为聪明且具有社会性的动物。
答案详解
任务一:
1. B 2. A 【主旨大意】屠呦呦从植物中发现青蒿素,拯救了许多人的生命,因此该展板主题应与植物相关。珍·古道尔一生致力于研究黑猩猩,并揭示了它们的行为模式和情感世界,因此该展板主题应与野生动物相关。
任务二:
3. A 【词义猜测】由文章中的“It's very effective against malaria. This helped to save many lives around the world.”可知,青蒿素对治疗疟疾非常有效,帮助拯救了世界各地的许多生命。由此可推知,此处“effective”意为“有效的”。
4. C 【数字计算】文中提到屠呦呦生于1930年,于2015年获得诺贝尔奖。经计算可知,她获得该奖时85岁。
任务三:
5. F 【细节理解】由文章中的“... Jane Goodall ... She went to wild forests in Africa to live among chimpanzees ...”可知,珍·古道尔在原始森林里研究黑猩猩。
6. T 【细节理解】由文章中的“She found that chimpanzees could make and use tools, have feelings like humans and show love and violence.”可知,黑猩猩在许多方面与人类相似。
