题型：广东省同步题难度：来源：
respected Lasker Award for her discovery of a new approach to malaria (疟疾) treatment.
The 81yearold was presented with the medical prize by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation on
September 23, 2011 in New York.
Tu, a scientist at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing, was praised by the jury (评判委员会) for her "drug therapy (治疗) for malaria that has saved millions of lives across the globe,
especially in the developing world," according to a statement on the foundation"s website.
In early 1969, Tu was appointed head of a government project that aimed to eradicate(消灭) malaria, and it was then that she began applying modern techniques with Chinese traditional medicine to find drug
therapy for malaria.
After detecting (检测) 380 extracts (提取物) made from 2,000 candidate recipes, Tu and her
colleagues obtained a pure substance called "Qinghaosu", which became known as artemisinin in 1972.
An artemisininbased drug combination is now the standard regimen (养生法) for malaria, and the
World Health Organization lists artemisinin and related agents in its catalog of "Essential Medicines", said
a statement from the foundation.
The Lasker Awards are given annually to people who have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of human diseases since 1945.
Lasker Awards are known as "America"s Nobels" for their knack (熟练技术) of gaining future

on to receive the Nobel Prize, and 80 since 1945.

PvD is wellknown as one of the hardest working artists, with soldout tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career.With over 3 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally. Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in East Berlin.Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music-he wanted to create a different, more unique sound.In the early 1990"s Paul van Dyk was performing regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994.But it was the release of his second album Seven Ways that put him into Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single "For An Angel, " which began to earn him praise across the globe.By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000, it became clear that the Berlinbased musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time.His first mix CD Politics of Dancing was released in 2001, followed by Global in 2003-a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world. |
