1．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.

3．LONDON-A British judge sentenced a businessman who sold fake bomb detectors（探測(cè)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 is 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組卷：2引用：1難度：0.6

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
A man came home from work late，tired and irritated（不耐煩的）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 man 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 and go to bed.Think about why you are being so selfish.I work hard every day for such childish 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 of the little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep，son？" he asked.
"No，Daddy，I'm awake，" replied the boy.
"I've been thinking，maybe I was too hard on you earlier，" said the man. "It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you.Here's the ﹩10 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up，smiling. "Oh，thank you，Daddy!" he yelled.Then，reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled（皺巴巴的） bills.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
