called a “novel therapy.” the treatment fights infections caused by roundworm parasites. the prize for medicine is also going to chinese researcher tu youyou. she discovered artemisinin(青蒿素). artemisinin is a drug that has sharply lowered the number of people who die from malaria. the committee said the discoveries had given the world powerful new ways to fight two powerful diseases. it is said those diseases affect hundreds of millions of people every year. the committee added that, “the consequences in terms of improved human health and reduced suffering are immeasurable” ms. tu is the chief professor at the china academy of traditional medicine. she is also the first chinese citizen to be awarded the nobel prize in medicine. mr. campbell currently works as a researcher at drew

occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. the simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. there are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. in addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. all these factors （因素）tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. in a society where people are similar in many ways, there are fewer situations for people to see the need or the chance for change because everything seems to be the same. and although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and clear.within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material aspects, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the simple elements（要素）rather than in the complex ones; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange ones.besides, social change is easier if it is gradual. for example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with a sharp division. this is one reason why change has not come more quickly to black americans as compared to other american minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white fellows.24. the underlined part “greater tolerance” in paragraph 1 probably refers to “_”.a. quicker adaptation to changing conditionsb. greater willingness to accept social changec. more respect for different beliefs and behaviord. greater readiness to agree to different conditions25. why is social change less likely to occur in a society where people are similar in many ways?a. they are so conservative that they tend to slow down social change.b. they can easily get what they want in the material aspect of society.c. they are so used to their conditions that they seldom want to change.d. they have similar needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty.26. which of the following factors probably tends to promote social change fast?a. different points of view. b. traditional values.c. sharp divisions in relations. d. similar appearances.27. what is this passage mainly discussing?a. two different kinds of society. b. consequences of social change.c. the importance of social change. d. certain factors affecting social change.calibaba started taking the lead in china by connecting big chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world. its business-to-business site, a allowed business to buy almost everything. alibabas advantage wasnt hard to judge: size. alibaba is just big, even by chinese standards. its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year and alibaba is just the middleman. it encourages people to use its markets not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale. if you want a quick look into the influence of alibaba on daily chinese life, take my experience. i moved to beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “youre looking for what exactly? why not try it? ” my chinese teacher asked me one day. with that, my wonderful new relationship with alibaba began. alibabas original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of alibabas profit, and leading that group is taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find. tm is alibabas other big site, where you can find brand name goods from nike and unilever near the lowest prices. what i have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the u.s. is how china has gone beyond traditional shopping big-box retailers especially in favor of online purchases on taobao and a few other sites. in smaller towns than beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is taobao.i have a list of some of my recent purchases on taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. im not even a big buyer, because i need friends to help me search the chinese-language site. when i was searching my purchase history on my chinese teachers ipad, which helps me buy goods, i looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.28. alibabas advantage mainly lies in .a. its low price b. its big sizec. its not charging small sellers d. its business-to-business service29. we know from the passage that alibaba .a. will continue to develop.b. charges all the sellers on its site a percentage of the sale.高考学习网 c. acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellersd. is of middle size among all the online sites.30. what can be inferred from the passage?a. alibabas business-to-business service earns more money thanretail.b. tm provides more profit than taobao.c. taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.d. the authors chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.31. what is the passage mainly about?a. shopping online in china is taobao.b. how the author purchases online in china.c. shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.d. alibaba influences peoples daily purchase in china.dwill nanfang university of science and technology in shenzhen announce a new beginning for chinas higher education reform? its too early to answer. but its presence is challenging the ministry of education. even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students, socalled child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on march 1，2011.on graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the ministry of educationunlike the students of their age from the staterun universities.the school is committed to modeling itself on hong kong university of science and technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions. other schools could turn their applications down for their unathorized diplomas.the difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away. on dec. 18, 2010 more than 1，000 students and their parents visited nanfang university of science and technology for interviews.private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation. not a penny comes from the government. so the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.the ministry of education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020. the goal is to make chinas higher education internationally competitive. to accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out. the ministry should have applauded the independence the school in shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.education reform in china has reached a new and crucial stage. nanfang university of
