It was about five in the morning in Ontario, Canada, when Donna Strickland's phone rang.The Nobel Prize committee was on the line in Stockholm, calling to tell her she had won the prize in physics.
“I wondered if it was a joke，” Strickland said in an interview with a Nobel official after the call.She had been asleep when the call arrived.“Something was wrong because it came so early in the morning.But then I knew it was the right day, and it would have been a cruel joke.”
Strickland, an associate professor at the University of Waterloo, shares the honor with two other scientists for their work in the 1980s in transforming lasers (激光) into tiny tools that today have countless applications.The prize money ＄1.4 million will be shared among the three.Half the prize went to Strickland and her cooperator Gerard Mourou, a professor at the Ecole Poly technique in France.The other half was awarded to Arthur Ashkin, a retired physicist who worked at the famous Bell Labs in the United States.
Strickland's win is historic in more than one way.It's been over 55 years since a woman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.In 1903, Marie Curie became the first ever woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics.For the next 60 years, no women physicists were awarded.Maria Goeppert Mayer became the second woman physicist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963.
Strickland herself was surprised to learn she was the third woman to receive the honor in physics.“Is that all, really I thought there might have been more，” she said at a press conference Tuesday.“We need to celebrate women physicists, because we're out there.Hopefully, in time, it will start to move forward at a faster rate.”
24．What was Donna's first reaction after she received the call
A．She felt all efforts paid off.
B．She was too excited to say a word.
C．She was doubtful about it.
D．She was annoyed at being waken up.
25．How much was Donna rewarded for winning the Nobel Prize
A．About ＄350,000.
B．About ＄2.8 million.
C．About ＄700,000.
D．About ＄1.4 million.
26．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Strickland's achievements in physics.
B．The history of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
C．Strickland's struggle to win the Nobel Prize.
D．Three women winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics in history.
27．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A．The Nobel Prize in Physics.
B．The achievement of men physicists.
C．The celebration of the Nobel Prize winners.
D．Awarding women physicists the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines.That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.
It is not always the case, though.When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear generational divide.The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car.In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be.Not everyone wants a driverless car now — and no one can get one yet — but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.
Actually, this isn't surprising.Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular.Older adults, especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use cases for driverless cars.
This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel related technologies than older ones.
When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age.College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education.59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high school diploma or less.
Where a person lives matters, too.More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who live in rural areas.
While there's reason to believe that interest in self driving cars is going up across the board, a person's age will have little to do with how self driving cars can become mainstream.Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
28．What happens when a new technology appears
A．It often leads to great inventions in other related fields.
B．It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.
C．It further widens the gap between the old and the young.
D．It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.
29．What does the author say about the driverless car
A．It does not seem to create a generational divide.
B．It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.
C．It has given rise to unrealistic expectations.
D．It may start a revolution in the car industry.
30．Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people
A．It helps with their mobility.
B．It saves their money and energy.
C．It adds to the safety of their travel.
D．It makes their life more interesting.
31．What is likely to affect one's attitude toward the driverless car
A．The field of their special interest.
B．The location of their living place.
C．The amount of training they received.
D．The length of their driving experience.
D
Bad news sells.If it bleeds, it leads.No news is good news, and good news is no news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored (监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media，” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word of mouth communication — e mails, Web posts and reviews, face to face conversations — found that it tended to be more positive than negative (消极的), but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things To test for that possibility, Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times' website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e mailed” list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non science articles.He found that science amazed The Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused (激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr.Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On”．
32．What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to
A．News reports. B．Research papers.
C．Private e mails. D．Daily conversations.
33．What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer
A．They're socially inactive.
B．They're good at telling stories.
C．They're inconsiderate of others.
D．They're careful with their words.
34．Which tended to be the most e mailed according to Dr.Berger's research
A．Sports news. B．Science articles.
C．Personal accounts. D．Financial reviews.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B．Online News Attracts More People
C．Reading Habits Change with the Times
D．Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

Chalk used in school classrooms comes in thin sticks.Lessons are often presented to entire classes on chalkboards (or blackboards, as they were originally called) using sticks of chalk. 36
As found in nature, chalk has been used for drawing since prehistoric times.And it helped to create some of the earliest cave drawings.Later, artists of different countries and styles used chalk mainly for sketches (素描), and some such drawings have survived. 37 The method was to grind (碾碎) natural chalk to a fine powder, then add water, clay, and various dry colors.It was then rolled into stick shape and dried.
38 Class sizes began to increase at that time.Therefore, teachers needed a convenient way of conveying information to many students at one time.Not only did instructors use large blackboards, but students also worked with personal chalkboards, completing with chalk sticks and a sponge (海绵块) or cloth to use as an eraser.These small chalkboards were used for practice, especially among the younger students.
An important change in the nature of classroom chalk brought was in chalkboards.Blackboards used to be black, because they were made from true slate (石板)．While some experts advocated a change to yellow chalkboards and dark blue or purple chalk to copy writing on paper, when makers began to shape chalkboards from synthetic(合成的)materials during the 20th century, they chose the color green, arguing that it was easier on the eyes. 39
Almost all chalk produced today is dustless.Earlier, softer chalk tended to produce a cloud of dust that some feared might contribute to breathing problems. 40 It's just that the dust settles faster.
A．Dustless chalk still produces dust.
B．Yellow became the preferred color for chalk.
C．Paper made only from rags at this time was expensive.
D．That's because this method has been proven cheap and easy.
E．Chalk was first formed into sticks for the convenience of artists.
F．Baking chalk longer to harden it more helps to produce less dust.
G．Chalk didn't become standard in schoolrooms until the 19th century.

The next night, the young artist came to the gate of the subway station as usual, and put his hat on the ground gracefully.Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground and put some stones on it.Then he began playing the violin.
Before long, the young artist was surrounded with many passers by, who were all attracted by the words on that paper.It said, “Last night, a gentleman put an unexpected thing into my hat by mistake.Please come to claim it as soon as possible.” It caused great excitement and curiosity.They were dying to know what the unexpected thing could be.

Malls are popular places for Americans to go. Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called “mall rats”. Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.
People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations or private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the atmosphere inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.
The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven acre park! There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop every week.
The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. Now people shop in malls, of course. They also eat in food houses that have food from all over the world. They see movies here. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of mall walking. Others go to malls to meet friends. In a word, now residents can actually live in their favorite shopping center.

It was about five in the morning in Ontario, Canada, when Donna Strickland's phone rang.The Nobel Prize committee was on the line in Stockholm, calling to tell her she had won the prize in physics.
“I wondered if it was a joke，” Strickland said in an interview with a Nobel official after the call.She had been asleep when the call arrived.“Something was wrong because it came so early in the morning.But then I knew it was the right day, and it would have been a cruel joke.”
Strickland, an associate professor at the University of Waterloo, shares the honor with two other scientists for their work in the 1980s in transforming lasers (激光) into tiny tools that today have countless applications.The prize money ＄1.4 million will be shared among the three.Half the prize went to Strickland and her cooperator Gerard Mourou, a professor at the Ecole Poly technique in France.The other half was awarded to Arthur Ashkin, a retired physicist who worked at the famous Bell Labs in the United States.
Strickland's win is historic in more than one way.It's been over 55 years since a woman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.In 1903, Marie Curie became the first ever woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics.For the next 60 years, no women physicists were awarded.Maria Goeppert Mayer became the second woman physicist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963.
Strickland herself was surprised to learn she was the third woman to receive the honor in physics.“Is that all, really I thought there might have been more，” she said at a press conference Tuesday.“We need to celebrate women physicists, because we're out there.Hopefully, in time, it will start to move forward at a faster rate.”

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines.That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.
It is not always the case, though.When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear generational divide.The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car.In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be.Not everyone wants a driverless car now — and no one can get one yet — but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.
Actually, this isn't surprising.Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular.Older adults, especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use cases for driverless cars.
This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel related technologies than older ones.
When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age.College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education.59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high school diploma or less.
Where a person lives matters, too.More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who live in rural areas.
While there's reason to believe that interest in self driving cars is going up across the board, a person's age will have little to do with how self driving cars can become mainstream.Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。人们对新技术的态度通常以年龄层为分界，但在无人驾驶汽车方面却不是这样。文章主要介绍了影响人们对无人驾驶汽车的态度的几个因素。

Bad news sells.If it bleeds, it leads.No news is good news, and good news is no news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored (监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media，” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word of mouth communication — e mails, Web posts and reviews, face to face conversations — found that it tended to be more positive than negative (消极的), but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things To test for that possibility, Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times' website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e mailed” list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non science articles.He found that science amazed The Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused (激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr.Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On”．
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。人们常说“没有消息就是最好的消息”，类似的传统说法只适合于大众媒体。在网络普及的时代，好消息在网络上的传播速度比坏消息要快很多。

A．They're socially inactive.
B．They're good at telling stories.
C．They're inconsiderate of others.
D．They're careful with their words.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react.可知，传统的媒体只想吸引人们的眼球，不在乎你的感受；但当你和朋友分享一个故事时，你更关心他们的反应。Debbie Downer和前文中care how you're feeling和 care a lot more how they react意思相反。故选C。
34．Which tended to be the most e mailed according to Dr.Berger's research
A．Sports news. B．Science articles.
C．Personal accounts. D．Financial reviews.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non science articles.可知，科技类的文章比非科技类的更有可能被人们转发。故选B。
35．What can be a suitable title for the text

Chalk used in school classrooms comes in thin sticks.Lessons are often presented to entire classes on chalkboards (or blackboards, as they were originally called) using sticks of chalk. 36
As found in nature, chalk has been used for drawing since prehistoric times.And it helped to create some of the earliest cave drawings.Later, artists of different countries and styles used chalk mainly for sketches (素描), and some such drawings have survived. 37 The method was to grind (碾碎) natural chalk to a fine powder, then add water, clay, and various dry colors.It was then rolled into stick shape and dried.
38 Class sizes began to increase at that time.Therefore, teachers needed a convenient way of conveying information to many students at one time.Not only did instructors use large blackboards, but students also worked with personal chalkboards, completing with chalk sticks and a sponge (海绵块) or cloth to use as an eraser.These small chalkboards were used for practice, especially among the younger students.
An important change in the nature of classroom chalk brought was in chalkboards.Blackboards used to be black, because they were made from true slate (石板)．While some experts advocated a change to yellow chalkboards and dark blue or purple chalk to copy writing on paper, when makers began to shape chalkboards from synthetic(合成的)materials during the 20th century, they chose the color green, arguing that it was easier on the eyes. 39
Almost all chalk produced today is dustless.Earlier, softer chalk tended to produce a cloud of dust that some feared might contribute to breathing problems. 40 It's just that the dust settles faster.
A．Dustless chalk still produces dust.
B．Yellow became the preferred color for chalk.
C．Paper made only from rags at this time was expensive.
D．That's because this method has been proven cheap and easy.
E．Chalk was first formed into sticks for the convenience of artists.
F．Baking chalk longer to harden it more helps to produce less dust.
G．Chalk didn't become standard in schoolrooms until the 19th century.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了粉笔的发展历史，功能和制作等相关信息。
36．选D 根据前句Lessons are often presented to entire classes on chalkboards (or blackboards, as they were originally called) using sticks of chalk.可知，一般老师给全班同学上课都是用粉笔在黑板上进行。D项(那是因为这种做法被证实是既廉价又简单)承接上句，解释了用粉笔在黑板上写字的原因。且D项中的this method指前句中的using sticks of chalk。
37．选E 根据前句Later, artists of different countries and styles used chalk mainly for sketches (素描)可知，后来，不同国家和风格的艺术家使用粉笔作画。E项(粉笔最初被做成棍状是为了方便画家)承接上句。前后句中的artists为原词复现。
38．选G 根据后句Class sizes began to increase at that time.Therefore, teachers needed a convenient way of conveying information to many students at one time.可知，那时班级规模开始扩大，教师们需要一种便捷的方法把信息同时传递给很多学生。G项(粉笔直到19世纪才成为教室里的标配)承接下句。the 19th century指的就是后文中的that time。
39．选B 根据前文during the 20th century, they chose the color green, arguing that it was easier on the eyes可知，出于对眼睛的考虑，20世纪黑板的颜色变成了绿色。B项(黄色成为粉笔的首选颜色)承接自然，黑板颜色的变化导致粉笔颜色选择的变化，符合逻辑。
40．选A 后文It's just that the dust settles faster.(只不过是粉尘沉降得更快而已)与A项(无尘粉笔仍然会产生粉尘)承接自然。上下句的dust是原词复现。

The next night, the young artist came to the gate of the subway station as usual, and put his hat on the ground gracefully.Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground and put some stones on it.Then he began playing the violin.
Before long, the young artist was surrounded with many passers by, who were all attracted by the words on that paper.It said, “Last night, a gentleman put an unexpected thing into my hat by mistake.Please come to claim it as soon as possible.” It caused great excitement and curiosity.They were dying to know what the unexpected thing could be.
