9、eep when the call arrived. “Something was wrong because it came so early in the morning.

10、0s in transforming lasers(激光)into tiny tools that today have countless application. 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
11、 Ashkin, a retired physicist who worked at the famous Bell Labs in the United States. Stricklands win is historic in more than one way. Its 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 t
12、he 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.

C Step into Moving to Mars, an exhibition of Mars mission and colony design at Londons Design Museum, and immediately you have good reasons not to move there. Frightening glowing wall-texts announce that Mars
17、wasnt made for you; that there is no life and precious little water; that, dressed in a spacesuit, you will never touch, taste or smell the planet you now call “home”. As Lisa Grossman wrote for New Scientist a couple of years ago, “Whats different about Mars is that there is nothing to do there exc
18、ept try not to die.” It is an odd beginning for such a celebratory exhibition, but it provides a valuable, dark background against which the rest of the show can sparkle (闪耀)a show that is,as its chief manager Justin remarks,not about Mars; this is an exhibition about people. Moving along, there is
19、a quick yet clear flash through what the science-fiction writer Robinson calls “the history of Mars in the human mind”. A Babylonian clay tablet and a Greek vase speak to early ideas about the planet. A poster for the original Total Recall film reminds us of Mars psychological threat. The main part

Mission architectures and engineering sketches line the walls. Real hammers meant for the International Space Station are wall-mounted besi
21、de a low-gravity table that has yet to leave, and may indeed never leave, Earth.

D Google has reported progress in its plan called “Project Loon” to provide Internet service to rural(农村的) areas without Internet connectivity around the world. The company has no plans to use traditional wiring, which can be co
25、stly. Instead the idea is to float (飘动) huge balloons (气球) about 20 kilometres above the surface of the Earth. The balloons would act like telecommunications satellites, providing Internet service to the rural areas. The huge objects would ride air currents (气流) to either stay in place or move to an
26、other position high in the skies. At first, the idea was to have a large number of balloons circling the planet. One balloon would move away from an area while another arrived to ensure service in the affected areas. But the company said it has found a way to make balloons float over one area for a
27、long period. In a report published online, the company said its software “can now send small teams of balloons over a specific area where people need Internet access”. The company said some of the balloons stayed in the same area for as long as three months. The company also said the discovery shoul
28、d speed up the project and reduce costs: “Well reduce the number of balloons we need and get greater value out of each one.” But Project Loon workers must still find ways to increase the life of the balloons. A report from British Broadcasting Corporation said the longest service for a single balloo
29、n was 190 days. Google has also explored the idea of providing Internet service to rural areas using solar-powered drone aircraft (太阳能无人机). However, it gave up that project because of technological difficulties and high costs. ()12.Whats the aim of the “Project Loon”? A.To float huge balloons above
30、the rural areas. B.To help rural areas have access to the Internet. C.To increase Googles income in the rural areas. D.To advertise Googles new product in the rural areas. ()13.Why wouldnt Google use traditional wiring? A.It could be too expensive. B.It could put off the project. C.It couldnt provid
31、e greater value. D.It couldnt work for a long period. ()14.What do we know about the balloons? A.They must be used in a large number. B.They could provide service as long as 3 months. C.Theyll be sent up by solar-powered drone aircraft. D.They would work like telecommunications satellites. ()15.What
32、 is the passage mainly about? A.An unexpected discovery. B.Some unknown facts about balloons. C.Googles using balloons to provide Internet service. D.The differences between the new and traditional wiring. 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Developing a hobby
