15、y Tu became interested in an extract of the plant qinghao, or sweet wormwood . According to an ancient Chinese medicine book, qinghao was once used to treat malaria. However, the extract they made in the lab didnt work well. Maybe, thought Tu, the effective ingredient in qinghao was destroyed by hig
16、h temperatures. Therefore, Tu tried to make the extract with an ether which has a much lower boiling point than water.

24、中的 It is especially important for children in the poorest and least developed parts of the world，可推断由于发展中国家和其它贫穷落后的地区的人们没有钱，因此屠呦呦研究出来的这种青蒿素是一种比较便宜的药物，这些地区的人们都能买得起，故选 A。 8细节理解。根据文章第二段中的 the 81-year-old pharmacologist has become the first scientist on the Chinese mainland to win a Lasker Award， the me

27、uch, and iPad. It allows users to gain full access to the operating system and download additional materials that are unavailable through the official Apple App Store.

They steal from peoples bank accounts, download sensitive information and attack legal websites. Among computer lovers, it means a cool programmer who can
32、make a computer do whatever he wants. Hiring a hacker does have its advantages. A talented hacker is probably quite capable of finding problems and suggesting corrections.

38、 ，故选 C。 12细节理解 。 根据文章第七段中的 On the other hand， because of a hackers former behavior，many people doubt their morals Can the company trust them with its valuable assets ?
