【导语】这是一篇议论文.本文主要介绍伟人的事迹，告诉我们伟大的成就不是天生的，所

有这些伟人的共同点就是无论发生什么都坚持自己的目标。

I.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“YuanLongpinggotovergreatdifficultiesandspenthiswhole

lifeworkingIoreduceworldhungerandhelpingtofeedthecountrywiththelargest

population.（作为“杂交水稻之父”，袁隆平克服重重困难，终其一生致力于减少世界饥饿，帮

助养活世界上人口最多的国家。户以及文章第二段“WuMengchao,the“FatherofChinese

HepatobiliarySurgery”，focusedonsavingpeople'slivesfornearlyeightyyears.（吴孟超，“中国

肝胆外科之父“，近八十年来专注于挽救生命。）”可知，袁隆平和吴孟超一生都在为人民服

务。故选B项。

2.词义猜测题。根据卜文which引导定语从句“whicharcnotintheshapeofnormalones.（它

们不是正常的形状。）分析可知,which指代上文“Holdingthesurgeon'sknifeforsuchalong

lime”，因此推断，长时间握手术刀导致对他的手指造成了一定的影响，他的手指变形了，

这不是正常的形状。所以划线词意为“使手指变形与A项”使他的手指变形了“意思相近。

故选A项。

3.细节理解题。根据文章第三段"In1969,inordertosolvetheproblemoftreatingmalaria,Tu

Youyou,thepharmacologisttookonthejobasheadofaresearchteam.（1969年，为了解决治疗

疟疾的问题，药理学家屠呦呦担任了一个研究小组的负责人。户以及“Finally,in1972,they

madeit!（最终,在1972年,他们成功了！）“
