Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in physiology (生理学）or medicine. Also, in 2011, she became the first Chinese person to receive the US-based Lasker Award for clinical medicine.‎ ‎ Based on a fourth-century Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM) text, together with her team, she managed to get artemisinin (青嵩素）from sweet wormwood through trial and error and developed an important drug that has significantly reduced death rates among patients suffering from malaria. Tu delivered a speech tided Artemisinin is a Gift from TCM to the World. She has urged more research into the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine and called for joint efforts worldwide to fight against malaria and develop more potential uses for TCM, which she called a “great treasure” with thousands of years’history and empirical knowledge. She said that by combining TCM with modem scientific technologies, “more potential can be discovered in searching for new drugs”.‎ According to the WHO, more than 240 million people in sub-Saharan Africa have benefited from artemisinin，and more than 1.5 million lives are estimated to have been saved since 2000 thanks to the drug. Apart from its contribution to the global fight against malaria, TCM played a vital role in the deadly outbreak of SARS across China in 2003.‎ Besides treating viruses, TCM has been most effective in diagnosing diseases, cultivating fitness, treating difficult multisource illnesses, and using nonmedicinal methods such as acupuncture (针剌疗法）and breathing exercises.‎ ‎ However, TCM，which is based on a set of beliefs about human biology,is seldom understood or accepted by the West.

TCM is based on thousands of years of practice in China.‎ B. Nobel winner, Tu Youyou, strongly supports TCM research.‎ C. Artemisinin is now widely used to fight against Malaria.‎ D. Westerners will appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎ ‎ C The UK has voted by 52% to 48% to break away from the European Union after 43 years in an historic referendum（公投）, a BBC forecast suggests.The currency of UK fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 1985 as the markets reacted to the results.The population of referendum was 71.8% - with more than 30 million people voting - the highest percent since 1992.Britain would be the first country to leave the EU since its set up - but a leave vote will not immediately mean Britain stops to be a member of the 28-nation group. That process could take two years at least, with Leave campaigners suggesting during the referendum campaign that it should not be completed until 2020 – the date of the next scheduled general election.‎ The Leave campaign argued during a bitter four-month referendum campaign that the only way Britain could "take back control" of its own affairs would be to leave the EU.‎ ‎ On Friday morning, the mayor of the southern French town of Béziers, Robert Ménard — a man with close ties to the National Front — claimed that English no longer had “any legitimacy（合法性）” in Brussels.Left-wing presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who supports moving English away from European agreements.For his part, said that English can no longer be “the third working language” of the European Union.‎ ‎ In various ways, they’re both wrong. The very complex operation of multilingualism in European institutions doesn’t rely on the single standard of a member state’s membership in — or break away from — the EU.‎ ‎ So although the U.K. doesn’t use the euro（欧元） and has preserved its monetary sovereignty（货币主权）, the European Central Bank has, since its creation, always and only used the English language. And this is not cater to（迎合）London, but for makes its extremely sensitive communication more complicated by adding the channels of translation.‎ ‎9. The Para1 inform us of .‎ A.Most of people in UK support the referendum.‎ B. UK will break away from EU at once.‎ C.Britain would be the second country to leave the EU ‎ D. The currency of UK fell to its lowest level against any other currencies. ‎ ‎10. In the eyes of Robert Ménard and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, English ?‎ A.Will not work as an official language in UK . ‎ B. Will not have ang legitimacy.‎ C. Will still exist in the European Union . ‎ D. Wll not serve as a working language in European Union .‎ ‎11.Why did the European Central Bank only use the English language?【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ A.It is too lazy to add other languages. ‎ B. It is easy to communicate.‎ C. It wants to cater to London. ‎ D.Because U.K. has preserved its monetary sovereignty.‎ D ‎ Taylor Swift has been named Billboard’s Woman of the Year 2014, making her the first artist to receive the award twice.‎ ‎ The award goes to the female artist who “has shaped and inspired the music industry with her success, leadership and innovation” over the last year. Previous winners include Pink, Beyonce and Katy Perry.‎ ‎ Swift will receive the prize at the Billboard Women in Music Award Ceremony on 12 December in New York.‎ ‎ “As one of the most influential artists of her generation, Taylor Swift has seen incredible success on the Billboard charts,” said Janice Min, co-president and chief creative officer of Guggenheim Media’s Entertainment Group, which includes Billboard.‎ ‎ “Over the course of her career, she’s charted 60 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 - the most of any female artist since her debut in 2006. We are tremendously excited to be honouring her as the 2014 Billboard Woman of the Year for the second time.”‎ ‎ Taylor Swift is a seven-time Grammy winner and the best-selling digital music artist of all time. Earlier this week it was announced she would be performing on The X Factor results show this weekend.‎ ‎ On Thursday she appeared in the performed in the Radio 1 Live Lounge, where she sang her current hit Shake It Off and covered Vance Joy’s Riptide.‎ ‎ Swift has just featured on the cover of British Vogue and explained what it was like to do high profile interviews.‎ ‎ “I don’t really have anything to hide at this point,” she told Fearne Cotton. “It’s sort of understood that anything I do is going to be discussed and dissected and debated and I’m used to that dynamic now.” She added: “I’m very proud of the way my life is. I’m 24, I’m single, feeling very independent. A lot of fun things have happened in my life.”‎ ‎12.What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? _____.‎ A.

It is normally taken ‎ for granted since most people think that soaking (浸泡) the burn with water is the way to go.16. ‎ ‎ Once the burn appears, you will surely feel much pain on the actual burned skin. Technically, this is the time to stay calm.17. .Finding a source of running water is recommended. However, if there is none, any source will do. If there is running water, simply place the burned area under it and allow it to soak the water for about 5 to 10 minutes.18. .If you have access to ice or a cold compress（冷敷布）, you can use that as well. You can place the ice or cold compress on the affected area and leave it there about 15 to 30 minutes. The ice will numb the pain and will also stop more injury on the skin.‎ ‎ After soaking in water or cooling the area with ice, remove from the water source and allow the moisture to dry naturally. You may also consider putting it down dry with a towel or napkin, however, this could damage the burnt skin even more.19. ‎ As soon as the area dries up completely, get a bandage or a strip of cloth.20 .This will protect that area from infection caused by outside dirt and dust getting into the open burn.‎ A. Call a doctor may as well help in most burn cases.‎ B. The thing is that treating a mild burn goes deeper than just soaking the affected part in water.‎ C. It is best to dry it naturally instead.‎ D. Wrap it around the burn to cover the open area of skin.‎ E. The truth is that soaking is the last thing to do to deal with mild burn.‎ F. The first thing you will need to do will be to find a clean water source.‎ G. This will relieve some of the pain, cool down the skin, and stop additional burning.‎ 第二部分：英语知识应用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完型填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ ‎ For Nick Vujicic, life was going to be difficult from the day he was born.
