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 application. The prize money $1.4 million will he 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.

The Nobel Prize in Physics.‎ B. The achievement of men physicists.‎ C. The celebration of the Nobel Prize winners.‎ D.

Wireless charging roads could be developed to recharge electric cars while they drive along to solve some problems about limited equipment to encourage ownership of these vehicles and ensure better air quality. The government has promised the money to developing both on-street and wireless charging to help transformation from internal combustion engine(内燃机)cars to electric cars.‎ These systems work similarly to a Scalextric toy car. Wireless charging uses a process called electromagnetic induction(电磁感应)to move energy. On the ground is a pad in which electricity is passed through a set of wire to create a magnetic field. It is then moved to a receiver on the underside of the car. Once the technology works, it could mean that drivers can fill up their cars as ‎ they drive along, meaning there could be longer periods between charging.‎ The proposal was made in Department for Transport (DFT) and could also see charging points positioned at service stations and car parks. New homes will also, where permitted, be built with some points. David Martell, of the electric car charging company BP Chargemaster, said, "Wireless charging will make driving an electric vehicle as similar as possible to driving a petrol car but without going to the petrol station frequently."‎ This is not the first time that wireless charging roads have been proposed as a number of firms have developed technologies. Renault partnered with Qualcomm and VEDECOM Tech to develop a road to test the technology's capability. The 100-meter test track was said to be capable of a charge up to 20 kilowatts at speeds up to, and over, 62 miles per hour (nearly 100 km/h).‎ ‎32. What's the attitude of the UK government to electric vehicles?‎ A. Supportive. B. Unfavourable. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.‎ ‎33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A. How a Scalextric toy car functions. B. How the electric cars get charged.‎ C. How the wireless road systems run. D. How the electric cars benefit people.‎ ‎34. How does David Martell find the new technology?‎ A. It gets petrol cars unfavourable. B. It saves drivers' trips to petrol station.‎ C. It gives rise to many new car parks. D. It makes electric cars difficult to drive.‎ ‎35. Why does the author mention the figures in the last paragraph?‎ A. To show the experiment of some firms.‎ B. To announce the progress of the new technology.‎ C. To show the efficiency of the wireless road systems.‎ D. To encourage the cooperation among different firms.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Migration(迁徙), is a long journey carried out by some birds to other areas where they hope to find more food and a warmer place to spend winter. Hundreds or thousands of miles' journey is actually difficult and dangerous. So why do birds migrate? 36 However, it all comes down to survival.‎ Migrating for a Meal For all birds, one of the main driving forces behind migration is food shortage. If all birds were to stay in the same warm regions all the year round, food would become lacking and producing their young would be less successful. As food resources are rich in the north each spring, millions of birds migrate there for the food supplies. 37 ‎ Migrating for Family Over thousands of years, birds have evolved different migration patterns, timing and destinations to fly around the world to produce their young. Birds take advantage of a wide variety of suitable conditions to raise their young. 38 ‎ Migrating for Climate Birds have evolved different types of feathers to survive different climates. 38 So many birds leave the Arctic producing grounds, for example, when temperatures begin to fall and they need warmer habitats. Similarly, the hottest regions can be a bad environment for raising little chicks, and they will choose cooler areas to lay eggs.‎ Migrating for Predators(掠食动物)‎ Habitats that have rich food resources all the year round also attract a greater number of predators that can threaten their nests. 40 It gives their young a better chance of reaching maturity. Many birds even migrate to specialized habitats that are nearly inaccessible to predators.‎ A. Birds always tend to fly to warmer places.‎ B. And changes in those climates can affect migration.‎ C. This increases the surviving chances of little chicks.‎ D. Birds have adapted themselves to their own surroundings.‎ E. There is more than one reasons for different birds to migrate F. As the food supplies decrease in fall, they return to warm regions.‎ G. So birds migrate to different habitats to avoid being eaten by predators.‎ 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分， 满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ When life hands you lemons, well, don't bother.
