Donna
Strickland
was
awarded
the
2018
Nobel
Prize
in
Physics
jointly
with
Arthur
Ashkin
and
Gérard
Mourou.
It's
the
first
time
in
55
years
that
a
woman
has
won
this
famous
prize,
but
why
has
it
taken
so
long?
We
look
at
five
other
pioneering
female
physicists—past
and
present—who
actually
deserve
the
prize.
???
Jocelyn
Bell
Burnell
???
Perhaps
the
most
famous
snub(冷落):
then-student
Bell
discovered
the
first
radio
pulsars
in
1967,
when
she
was
a
PhD
student
at
Cambridge.
The
Nobel
Prize
that
recognised
this
landmark
discovery
in
1974,
however,
went
to
her
male
supervisor,
Antony
Hewish.
Recently
awarded
a
?2.3
million
Breakthrough
Prize,
which
she
gave
away
to
help
under-represented
students,
she
joked
to
The
Guardian,
"I
feel
I've
done
very
well
out
of
not
getting
a
Nobel
Prize."
???
Lene
Hau
???
Hau
is
best-known
for
leading
the
research
team
at
Harvard
University
in
1999
that
managed
to
slow
a
beam
of
light,
before
managing
to
stop
it
completely
in
2001.
Often
topping
Nobel
Prize
prediction
lists,
could
2019
be
Hau's
year?
???
Vera
Rubin
???
Rubin
discovered
dark
matter
in
the
1980s,
opening
up
a
new
field
of
astronomy.
She
died
in
2016,
without
recognition
from
the
committee.
???
Chien-Shiung
Wu
???
Wu's
"Wu
experiment"
helped
disprove
the
"law
of
conservation
of
parity".
Her
experimental
work
was
helpful
but
never
honoured,
and
instead,
her
male
colleagues
won
the
1957
Nobel
Prize
for
their
theoretical
work
behind
the
study.
???
Lise
Meitner
???
Meitner
led
groundbreaking
work
on
the
discovery
of
nuclear
fission.
However,
the
discovery
was
acknowledged
by
the
1944
Nobel
Prize
in
Chemistry,
which
was
won
by
her
male
co-lead,
Otto
Hahn.

We
walked
in
so
quietly
that
the
nurse
at
the
desk
didn't
even
lift
her
eyes
from
the
book.
Mum
pointed
at
a
big
chair
by
the
door
and
I
knew
she
wanted
me
to
sit
down.
While
I
watched
mouth
open
in
surprise,
Mum
took
off
her
hat
and
coat
and
gave
them
to
me
to
hold.
She
walked
quietly
to
the
small
room
by
the
lift
and
took
out
a
wet
mop.
She
pushed
the
mop
past
the
desk
and
as
the
nurse
looked
up,
Mum
nodded
and
said,
"Very
dirty
floors."
???
"Yes,
I'm
glad
they've
finally
decided
to
clean
them,"
the
nurse
answered.
She
looked
at
Mum
strangely
and
said,
"But
aren't
you
working
late?"
???
Mum
just
pushed
harder,
each
swipe(拖一下)
of
the
mop
taking
her
farther
and
farther
down
the
hall.
I
watched
until
she
was
out
of
sight
and
the
nurse
had
turned
back
to
write
in
the
big
book.
???
After
a
long
time
Mum
came
back.
Her
eyes
were
shining.
She
quickly
put
the
mop
back
and
took
my
hand.
As
we
turned
to
go
out
of
the
door,
Mum
bowed
politely
to
the
nurse
and
said,
"Thank
you."
???
Outside,
Mum
told
me,
"Dagmar
is
fine.
No
fever.
"
???
"You
saw
her,
Mum?"
???
"Of
course.
I
told
her
about
the
hospital
rules,
and
she
will
not
expect
us
until
tomorrow.
Dad
will
stop
worrying
as
well.
It's
a
fine
hospital.
But
such
floors!
A
mop
is
no
good.
You
need
a
brush."
1.When
Mum
took
a
mop
from
the
small
room,

LONDON—A
British
judge
sentenced
a
businessman
who
sold
fake
bomb
detectors(探测器)
to
10
years
in
prison,
saying
the
man
hadn't
cared
about
potentially
deadly
consequences.
???
It
is
believed
that
James
McCormick
got
about
$
77.
8
million
from
the
sales
of
his
detectors—which
were
based
on
a
kind
of
golf
ball
finder—to
countries
including
Iraq,
Belgium
and
Saudi
Arabia.
McCormick,
57,
was
convicted
of
cheats
last
month
and
sentenced
Thursday?at
the
Old
Bailey
court
in
London.
???
"Your
cheating
conduct
in
selling
a
great
amount
of
useless
equipment
simply
for
huge
profit
promoted
a
false
sense
of
security
and
in
all
probability
materially
contributed
to
causing
death
and
injury
to
innocent
people,"
Judge
Richard
Hone
told
McCormick.
"You
have
neither
regret,
nor
shame,
nor
any
sense
of
guilt."
???
The
detectors,
sold
for
up
to
$42,000
each,
were
said
to
be
able
to
find
such
dangerous
objects
as
bombs
under
water
and
from
the
air.
But
in
fact
they
"lacked
any
grounding
in
science"
and
were
of
no
use.
???
McCormick
had
told
the
court
that
he
sold
his
detectors
to
the
police
in
Kenya,
the
prison
service
in
Hong
Kong,
the
army
in
Egypt
and
the
border
control
in
Thailand.
???
"I
never
had
any
bad
results
from
customers,"
he
said.
1.Why
was
McCormick
sentenced
to
prison?
A.He
sold
bombs.
B.He
caused
death
of
people.
C.He
made
detectors.
D.He
cheated
in
business.
2.According
to
the
judge,
what
McCormick
had
done
_________.
A.increased
the
cost
of
safeguarding
B.lowered
people's
guard
against
danger
C.changed
people's
idea
of
social
security
D.caused
innocent
people
to
commit
crimes
3.Which
of
the
following

TRUE
of
the
detectors?
A.They
have
not
been
sold
to
Africa.
B.They
have
caused
many
serious
problems.
C.They
can
find
dangerous
objects
in
water.
D.They
don't
function
on
the
basis
of
science.
4.It
can
be
inferred
from
the
text
that
McCormick
_______.
A.sold
the
equipment
at
a
low
price
B.was
well-known
in
most
countries
C.did
not
think
he
had
committed
the
crime
D.had
not
got
such
huge
profit
as
mentioned
in
the
text
D
?
The
school
is
much
more
than
a
place
where
students
gather
to
learn.
For
children,
school
is
their
first
opportunity
for
social
development
and
introduction
to
people
outside
of
their
family
unit.
Lessons
learned
in
school
go
beyond
mathematics
and
language
arts.
Students
learn
to
develop
individual
interests
and
find
other
people
who
share
their
interests.
???
Music
is
one
of
the
ways
like-minded
children
come
together.
When
many
people
talk
about
the
benefits
of
music
education,
they're
quick
to
point
out
all
of
the
numerous
and
measurable
results
of
music
education:
many
studies
show
the
positive
impact
music
programs
can
have
on
children
in
other
areas
of
study.
???
Dr.
Laurel
Trainer,
a
professor
of
psychology
at
McMaster
University,
has
found
young
children
who
take
music
lessons
show
different
brain
development
and
improved
memory
compared
to
children
who
do
not
receive
musical
training.
Stanford
University
researchers
have
found
that
musical
training
improves
how
the
brain
processes
the
spoken
word,
a
finding
that
researchers
said
could
lead
to
improving
the
reading
ability
of
children
who
have
dyslexia
and
other
reading
problems.
???
Furthermore,
in
an
analysis
of
data
on
more
than
25,000
secondary
school
students,
researchers
at
the
United
States
Department
of
Education
found
that
students
who
reported
consistent
involvement
in
instrumental
music
during
middle
school
and
high
school
performed
significantly
better
in
mathematics.
???
There
are
many
reasons
why
music
education
can
help
to
make
a
child
a
better
student,
and
being
involved
in
music
is
also
a
social
endeavor(努力)
that
can
set
the
course
for
lifelong
friends
and
help
create
social
groups
that
last
through
school
and
beyond.
Music
education
breeds
familiarity
during
a
school
career,
when
going
from
class
to
class
or
from
school
to
school
every
year
can
be
nerve-wracking
and
unfamiliar.
1.
What
is
the
function
of
the
first
paragraph?
A.
To
show
the
school
is
the
place
for
students
to
learn.
B.
To
stress
the
importance
of
learning
knowledge.
C.
To
lead
to
the
main
topic
of
the
passage.
D.
To
explain
what
the
author
really
thinks
of.
2.
What
does
the
underlined
word
"dyslexia"
mean?
A.
Having
difficulty
in
reading.
B.
Receiving
music
training.
C.
Gaining
knowledge
through
learning.
D.
Losing
the
ability
to
read
music.
3.
According
to
the
researchers,
we
can
know
that
_____.
A.
music
lovers
tend
to
use
their
brain
in
a
wise
way
B.
music
training
can
cure
children
of
many
diseases
C.
learning
music
is
beneficial
to
students'
performance
in
mathematics
D.
senior
students
dislike
attending
music
lessons
4.
It
can
be
concluded
from
the
passage
that
_____.
A.
music
can
ensure
you
have
a
lot
of
close
friends
B.
changing
schools
is
a
bad
experience
for
everyone
C.
music
does
offer
social
and
understanding
benefits
D.

In
Spain,
as
the
clock
strikes
midnight,
people
eat
12
grapes,
which
represent
the
12
months
of
the
year.
It
guarantees
that
the
year

???
Clothing
traditions
???
Many
people
like
to
wear
new

A
man
came
home
from

late,
tired

irritated(不耐烦的)
to
find
his
5-year-old
son
waiting
for
him
at
the
door.
???
"Daddy,
may
I
ask
you
a
question?"
???
"Yeah
sure,
what
is
it?"
replied
the
man.
???
"Daddy,
how
much
do
you
make
an
hour?"
???
"That's
none
of
your
business.
Why
do
you
ask
such
a
thing?"
the

said
angrily.

"I
just
want
to
know.
Please
tell
me.
How
much
do
you
make
an
hour?"
pleaded
the
little
boy.

"If
you
must
know,
I
make
$
20
an
hour."
???
"Oh,"
the
little
boy
replied,
with
his
head
down.
Looking
up,
he
said,
"Daddy,
may
I
please
borrow
$
10?"
???
The
father;
was
angry,
"If
the
only
reason
you
asked
that
is
that
you
can
borrow
some
money
to
buy
a
silly
toy
or
some
other
nonsense,
then
you
march
yourself
straight
to
your
room

go
to
bed.
Think
about
why
you
are
being
so
selfish.
I
work
hard
every
day
for
such

behaviour."
The
little
boy
quietly
went
to
his
room
and
shut
the
door.
The
man
sat
down
and
started
to
get
even
angrier
about
the
little
boy's
questions.
“How
dare
he
ask
such
questions
only
to
get
some
money?"
he
thought
to
himself.
After
about
an
hour
or
so,
the
man
calmed
down,
and
started
to
think:
Maybe
there
was
something
he
really
needed
to
buy
with
that
$
10
and
he
really
didn't
ask
for
money
very
often.
The
man
went
to
the
door

the

boy's
room
and
opened
the
door.
"Are
you
asleep,

he
asked.

"No,

awake,"

"I've

Burnell段落中的then-student
Bell
discovered
the
first
radio
pulsars
in
1967,
when
she
was
a
PhD
student
at
Cambridge.
The
Nobel
Prize
that
recognised
this
landmark
discovery
in
1974,
可知第一个射电脉冲星(radio
pulsars)在1967年被发现,
它的发现被授予诺贝尔奖是在1974年。故选C项。

the
first
time
in
55
years
that
a
woman
has
won
this

but
why
has
it
taken
so
long?
We
look
at
five
other
pioneering
female
physicists—past
and
present—who
actually
deserve
the
prize.可知唐娜?斯特里克兰是五十五年来第一个获诺贝尔物理学奖的女性,
而文中介绍的五位女科学家都应该获得这个奖,
但由于各种原因未能获奖。故选D项。
B
答案：1-4.CDAC
解析：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的妈妈悄悄进医院,假装清洁工拿拖把拖地,然后借此机会去看了病人
Dagmar,得知她很好,才放心离开的故事。
1.推理判断题。根据第三段"Mum
just
pushed
harder,
each
swipe
(拖一下)
?of
the
mop
taking
her
farther
and
farther
down
the
hall.
I
watched
until
she
was
out
of
sight."可知,作者的妈妈使劲拖地,离医院大厅越来越远,最后从作者和护士的视线消失。再结合文章最后三段的对话内容可知,作者的妈妈趁拖地之际,见到了
Dagmar并得知她很好,没发烧。由此推知,作者的妈妈拿拖把拖地的真正目的是为了见一位病人。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第一段"She
walked
quietly
to
the
small
room
by
the...
and
said,
'Very
dirty
floors.'"可知,作者的妈妈悄悄地走到电梯旁的小房间,拿出一把湿拖把。她把拖把推过桌子,然后对抬头看的护士说:“地板很脏。”再根据第二段的内容可判断出,护士以为作者的妈妈是医院的清洁工。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据文章最后三段妈妈说的话可知,
Dagmar她很好,没发烧,明天才能见到作者和妈妈,有了
Dagmar的消息爸爸不会再担心了。通过几个人的关系可推测,
Dagmar有可能是作者的妹妹。故选A。

答案：1-4.DBDC
解析：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了McCormick因卖假冒的探测器而被判入狱,法官认为他危害了大众的安全,但McCormick本人并不认为自己有罪。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知,英国一名法官判处一名出售假炸弹探测器的商人10年监禁,称这名商人根本不在乎潜在的致命后果。由此可知,
McCormick被判入狱是因为他在商业上有欺诈行为。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的"'Your
cheating
conduct
in
selling
a
great
...
contributed
to
causing
death
and
injury
to
innocent
people,'
Judge
Richard
Hone
told
McCormick."可知,法官Richard
Hone认为McCormick为了巨额利润而出售大量无用设备的欺骗行为,助长了一种虚假的安全感,很可能在很大程度上造成了无辜人民的伤亡。由此可知,法官认为McCormick的所作所为降低了人们对危险的警惕。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中的"But
in
fact
they
'lacked
any
grounding
in
science'
and
were
of
no
use."可知,但事实上,它们“缺乏任何科学基础”,毫无用处。由此可知,这些探测器的作用不是建立在科学的基础上的。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据文章第三段法官对McCormick说的"You
have
neither
regret,
nor
shame,
nor
any
sense
of
guilt.

results
from
customers,'
he
said.
(‘我从来没有收到过来自客户的任何不良结果,’他说)"可推知,

2.词义猜测题。根据画线词后的other
reading
problems可推断该词指的是一种“阅读问题”。故选A。B项“接受音乐培训”；C项“通过学习获得知识”；D项“失去读乐谱的能力”。
3.细节理解题。根据题干关键词researchers定位到文章第四段，由…students
who
reported
consistent
involvement
in
instrumental
music
during
middle
school
and
high
school
performed
significantly
better
in
mathematics.可知学音乐有利于孩子的数学学习。故选C。A项“音乐爱好者往往以明智的方式使用大脑”；B项“音乐训练可以治愈儿童的多种疾病”；D项“高年级的学生不喜欢上音乐课”。
4.推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的improving
the

the
course
for
lifelong
friends
and
help
create
social
groups
that
last
through
school
and
beyond可知音乐确实对社交和理解力有益。故选C。A项“音乐可以确保你交到很多亲密的朋友”中“确保”过于绝对;B项“转学对每个人来说都是不好的经历”和D项“很少有学校真正关注音乐教育”文中均未提及。

第二节
答案：???
The
man
seer
ng
that
the
boy
already
had
money
started
to
get
angry
again.
"How
can
you
be
so
selfish?
Why
do
you
want
more
money
since
you
already
have
these
bills?"
the
father
could
hardly
hold
his
anger
back
and
inquired
with
two
eyebrows
knitted
into
one.
With
held-back
tears
in
his
eyes,
the
little
boy
slowly
and
carefully
counted
out
his
money,
and
then
looked
up
at
his
father,
replying,
"Because
I
didn't
have
enough
before,
but
now
I
do."
???
Not
knowing
what
his
son
meant,
the
father
just
stood
there,
waiting
for
his
boy's
explanation.
Wiping
away
his
tears
and
an
innocent
smile
appearing
on
his
face,
the
boy
requested
in
a
relieved
voice,
"Daddy,
I
have
$20
now.
Can
I
buy
an
hour
from
you?
Please
come
home
early
tomorrow.
I
want
to
have
dinner
with
you."
Hearing
the
ne
boy's
small
but
sincere
request,
the
father
couldn't
hold
back
his
tears.
Realizing
he
was
too
busy
with
his
business
to
spare
some
time
with
his
beloved
ones,
he
gathered
his
son
into
his
arms
and
apologized
again
and
again,
"Sorry
...,
and
I
promise
I'll
be
back
early
tomorrow."
