Unit 20 New FrontiersOn October 5, Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her role in creating a drug that helped cure malaria in Africa and Asia, saving millions of lives.Tu was born in Ningbo in 1930. She chose medicine when she left Zhejiang and headed to Beijing to further her studies in 1951. She attended the Peking University School of Medicine and graduated from its Department of Pharmacology four years later.From university Tu moved to the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Then, in 1969, Tu was tasked with searching for a new malaria treatment and was sent to Hainan. There she saw a lot of children who were in the latest stages of malaria. “Those kids died very quickly，” she said.But it was in ancient Chinese books that Tu found the key to beating the disease. Back in Beijing, Tu and her team read through books about traditional Chinese medicine for information on substances (物质) that might help them defeat malaria.In a hundredsofyearsold text, they found a mention of sweet wormwood or in Chinese qinghao being used to treat malaria.Tus team put it to the test. The researchers found an active compound (化合物) in the plant that attacked malariacausing parasites (寄生虫) in the blood which would later become known as artemisinin (青蒿素)After it had been tested on animals, Tu took it upon herself to test it. “As the head of this research group, I had the responsibility，” she said.The treatment worked and was proved safe for humans. Artemisinin became a crucial tool in the fight against malaria in Africa and Asia.Tu Youyou, a famously modest woman, once remembered the moment of her discovery by saying: “Of course that was a really happy moment in my career as a researcher.”Section_Warmup_&_Lesson_1_Prereading_原文呈现Hannah Jones looks into the future.I love talking about the future and I am not the only one. Over the centuries, people have always wondered about the future. Some like to read fantasy stories and imagine what the world will be like in 10,50 or even 1,000 years time. Others write about the future themselves. In the 18th and 19th centuries, especially the latter， the most common theme in science fiction novels was the future. Some authors even predicted things that have since happened, for example, landing on the moon! But for some people, thinking about the future is not just for fun. They plan the future of the world for a living. These people are called futurologists.This weekend, hundreds of futurologists are meeting at Newcastle University. The seminar starts on Friday and the experts will be discussing the endless possibilities of the future. The future is now big business and many people will attend the seminar with dreams of starting new enterprises based on the predictions they will hear this weekend. I clicked into the websites of a few futurologists and heres what theyre predicting：读文清障look into窥视，调查what the world will be like .作imagine的宾语。latter/lt/n.后者the former ., the latter .前者，后者common adj.共同的，共有的predict v预告，预言，预报since在此是“早已，已经”的意思。that have since happened是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词things。thinking about the future是动名词短语作主语。futurologist/fjutrldIst/n.未来学家seminar/semIn/n.研讨会will be discussing是将来进行时，表示将来某一时刻正在进行的动作。enterprise/entpraIz/n.事业，企业based on . this weekend是过去分词短语作定语，修饰enterprises，其中they will hear this weekend又作predictions的定语。click/klIk/vi.点击汉娜琼斯展望未来。第12段译文我喜欢谈论未来而且我不是仅有的一个。很多世纪以来，人们对未来总是好奇。有些人喜欢阅读幻想故事，想象世界在10年、50年甚至1 000年后会变成什么样。其他人写关于自己未来的事。在18和19世纪，特别是后者，科幻小说的最常见主题就是未来。一些作者甚至预测到此后所发生的事情，例如登陆月球！但是对一些人来说，思考未来不仅仅是为了有趣。他们以设计世界的未来为生，这些人被称为未来学家。这个周末，数百个未来学家将在纽卡斯尔大学举行会议。会议于星期五开始，专家们将会讨论未来的无数个可能。现在“未来”是个大的热门议题，许多人将参加研讨会，他们梦想在这个周末听到的预测的基础上开始新事业。我登陆了一些未来学家的网站，以下是他们的预言：In the next few years, computers will become handier. Shortly all of us are going to use our voices to give instructions to computers. We will be able to download any file or update our computers just by saying a few words.By the year 2015, the clothing industry will have produced new types of material that will remain stainless no matter what you spill on them. Red wine stains will no longer ruin clothes. Garments will also be so strong that they will never get old and worn.By the year 2025, no one will die of starvation because there will be food for everyone. No one will have to live on welfare as everyone will have jobs and discrimination will be a part of the past. There will therefore no longer be any conflict and people will be able to live together in peace and equality .By the year 2030, development in biochemistry and medical science will have made it theoretically possible for us to live for at least 150 years. Tiny, insectlike robots may be sent around the cells of our bodies to assess our health and carry out repairs to keep us healthy.By the middle of the century, computers that are millions of times smarter than us will have been developed. We will be linking our brains to these computers and a huge database. A new type of electronic human might have developed!By the end of the century, we will have discovered other places in our solar system suitable for living and we will have discovered ways to go further into space.Ill be there in Newcastle this weekend. At nine oclock on Saturday morning, Ill be sitting in the front row and listening to the great Professor Willard talking about the future of my brain.
