Ⅵ.阅读理解

主题语境:人与社会　语篇类型:应用文

Donna Strickland was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize for 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 ￡2.3million 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 2021 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 (开创性的) work on the discovery of nuclear fission.However,the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel Prize for chemistry,which was won by her male co-lead,Otto Hahn.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章从50年来第一个获诺贝尔物理学奖的女性谈起,介绍了另外五位原本有资格获得这个奖项的五位女科学家。

1.When was the discovery of radio pulsars recognised by the Nobel?

A.In 1944. B.In 1967.

C.In 1974. D.In 1980.

答案C

解析根据Jocelyn Bell Burnell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radio pulsars在1967年被发现,被授予诺贝尔奖是在1974年。故选C项。

2.Which woman is most likely to win a Nobel Prize later according to the text?

A.Lene Hau.

B.Vera Rubin.

C.Donna Strickland.

D.Jocelyn Bell Burnell.

答案A

解析根据Lene Hau中的“Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists”可知Lene Hau经常被列于诺贝尔奖预测名单上榜首,她最有可能获诺贝尔奖。故选A项。

3.What do we know about the five females?

A.The five female scientists did greatly in chemistry.

B.Vera Rubin had opened up a new field in geometry.

C.Lise Meitner’s teacher won a Noble Prize for her work.

D.All their findings haven’t been recognised by the Nobel.

答案D

解析根据第一段总述中的“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.”可知Donna Strickland是50年来第一个获诺贝尔物理学奖的女性,而文中介绍的5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。

2.whose　考查定语从句引导词。whose引导定语从句修饰先行词a writer and educator。

3.communication　考查词性转换。根据空前的her可知此空填名词。

4.bearable　考查词性转换。句意:因为交流受限,她的行为常常让人无法忍受。

5.who/that　考查强调句型。分析这个句子“It was her teacher Anne Sullivan 　　　completely changed her.”可知这是个强调句型,因此填who/that。 

6.valuable　考查词性转换。此空修饰名词preparation,因此填形容词valuable。

7.touching　考查非谓语动词。“　　　 (touch) objects”作介词by的宾语,因此用动词-ing形式。
