春暖花开,又到了每年BBO/USABO考试的季节,大家的辛苦备考也到了最后的冲刺阶段,为了帮助各位考生充分利用这最后的一周时间,我们分析一下2021bbo考题,希望能够帮助大家理清思路,轻松迎战,考出理想的成绩。
赛事简介
英国中学生物奥林匹克 (British Biology Olympiad,简称 BBO),该比赛由英国皇家生物学(简称 RSB)会主办,是英国中学历史最长、影响最大的理科活动之一,每年英国有近万名高中生参与。
我们知道BBO和USABO的考试大纲是一样的,考察的内容和所占的分值比例分别为:
Animal anotomy & Physiology(25%)
Cell Biology (20%)
Genetics & Evolution (20%)
Plant Anatomy & Physiology (15%)
Ecology、Ethology & Biosystematics (20%)
下面我们就对2021年BBO考题在这5大部分里面构成的情况和具体考察内容进行逐一分析:
考题分析
01.Animal anotomy & Physiology
Q2 Part 1-8 5分,Q8 Part1-5 10分,共计15分。占比17%以上
Q2主要考察了免疫系统的humoral response 和cell-mediated response,抗原与抗体的结合。同时也考察了学生对通路(Pathway)和限速蛋白的理解,相关概念我们在课程里酶的章节有过详细讲解。Q8 考察了新冠疫苗开发的原理以及如何进行疫苗有效率的计算,也是我们课程里面讲过的内容,先特将疫苗有效率的计算公式分享给没有上过课的同学:
02.Cell Biology
Q6 Part 1-8 5分,Q7 Part1-7 8分,共计13分。占15%
Q6 以penicillin这个抗生素为例,考察学生对化学结构决定功能这一规律的理解以及对蛋白质活性、酶竞争性抑制、反馈调节、酶催化效率等细胞生物学基础知识掌握的程度。Q7以病毒为例,考察了学生对中心法则的理解以及疫苗的开发原理。这两个考点都是我们在课堂上花了大量时间讲解的内容,同学们一定要掌握。
03.Genetics & Evolution
Q3 Part 1-4 10分,Q5 Part 1-4 7分,Q10 Part 1-15 14分,共计21分。占24%
Q3考察了遗传疾病,遗传题考查主要集中在非孟德尔遗传规律的部分,要充分理解Multiple Alleles, Codominance,Pleiotropy, Epistasis, Polygenic inheritance, Linked gene and crossover, Mitochondrial inheritance, sex-linked 这些各种inheritance pattern 的原理。这一部分的内容我们已经在课堂上进行了充分的练习和讲解,同学们可以把常染色体显性遗传、常染色体隐性遗传、X染色体连锁显性遗传、X染色体连锁隐性遗传和Y染色体连锁等遗传的pattern of inheritance 记下来,对快速解题会有帮助。
Q5以baobab trees这个巨大基因组物种为切入点,考察了学生对基因组、染色体数目以及减数分裂的理解。
Q10介绍了基因比对alignment的原理,考察学生对转录、翻译等分子生物学的基础概念。以及突变和进化的分子生物学基础。
04.Plant Anatomy & Physiology
Q4 Part 1-10 9分,共计9分, 占10%
Q4考察的是学生对桃子外皮有毛和无毛的理解,这与我们讲过的植物叶片的trichomes很类似,同时也结合了遗传学的内容。
05.Ecology、Ethology & Biosystematics
Q1 Part1-13,Q9 Part1-5 14分,共计27分。占30%
Q1考察了学生对生物群体进行统计的能力,关于一个生物群体的Size、Density、Dispersion这些基本概念以及上述指标的取样测定方法同学们一定要熟练掌握。Q9以新冠病毒的英国变种为例,考察了学生对于进化的推动力和进化的规律的理解。

考点预测
可以看到,去年的题目有大量关于人体免疫系统和病毒的内容,今年我们仍然处在新冠疫情大流行中,人体免疫系统和病毒的内容我认为任然会是今年的考试热点。
同时,20种氨基酸的化学特性及他们对蛋白质功能和结构的影响,CRISPR/Cas9转基因技术的原理,植物光合作用C4途径,神经细胞信号传导这些非常重要但是去年没有考察到的内容很有可能出现在今年的考试中。
最后,特将BBO/USABO考试的重要知识点和重点考察内容提供给大家,大家可以按照这个知识点列表,对自己的知识体系进行梳理,希望能够对大家有所帮助。
