The Nobel Prizes

The prizes are awarded by the Nobel Foundation（基金會(huì)）for outstanding achievements or contributions in these areas: chemistry, physics, medicine or physiology, literature and peace. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma（證書）saying that he has been awarded the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money. Often a prize is awarded to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared, maybe by two or more people who have worked together to reach a goal. Since the Nobel Prizes are international prizes, scientists, inventors, writers, and diplomats（外交官）from all countries may receive a prize. Sometimes, two people from countries with different political views may even share a prize. An example of this is the 1973 Peace Prize, which was awarded to Henry Kissinger of the United States and to Le Due Tho of North Vietnam for the Vietnam（越南）peace negotiations（談判）.It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given. If there is no outstanding achievement in one of these areas, no prize is given in that area. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given. Someone must decide whether or not to give an award. The process of nominating（提名，推薦）and choosing Nobel Prize winners has two parts. First, nominations, or recommendations of people who might deserve（應(yīng)得）a Nobel Prize, are made. The nominations in physics and chemistry are made by the Royal Academy（研究員，學(xué)會(huì)）of Science in Stockholm. The nominations in medicine or physiology are made by the Caroline Medical Institute, which is also in Stockholm. The Swedish Academy, along with the French and Spanish Academies, makes nominations in literature. The peace prize nominations are made by a committee of the Norwegian government. Many nominations are made in each area. Nominations from these groups begin the process of choosing the Nobel Prize winners.

The second part of the process of choosing Nobel Prize winners is to decide which of the nominees deserves the award in each area. This decision is made by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. The Foundation may decide not to give a prize at all in any area.

1.A Nobel Prize is given in the form of _____________.

A. a large quantity of money　　　　　　　　　　   B.a diploma

C.a gold medal　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  D.all of the above

2.The 1973 Peace Prize was awarded to _____________.

A.Henry Kissinger　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B.Le Duo Tho

C.two persons from one country　　　　　　    D.two individuals from different countries

3.Sometimes a prize is not given because there is _____________.

A.no remarkable achievement in that area

B.no suitable nomination

C.disagreement among committee members

D.financial（經(jīng)濟(jì)的）shortage

4.The decision of literature prize winner is made by_____________.

A.the Swedish Academy and the French and Spanish Academies

B.the Nobel Foundation

C.a committee for the Norwegian government

D.the Royal Academy of Science in Stockholm

5.We can infer from this passage that_____________.

A.the Nobel Prize is given in six areas

B.the Nobel prizewinners are very carefully chosen

C.sometimes the Nobel Prize is not given

閱讀理解

　　Le Whif, an inhaler(吸入劑)that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please without putting on weight, is to be on market in British stores．The invention, called the world's first breatheable food, lets consumers suck in the taste of chocolate or coffee while taking on less than one calorie．Its makers claim it will enable dieters to enjoy their favorite snacks without worrying about their waistline．

　　The lip-stick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles(粒子)which are small enough to be carried by air, but too large to enter the lungs．Each Le Whif contains enough flavor for about eight to ten whiffs(一陣氣味)and costs ＄1.99 on its own, or ＄4.99 for a pack of three．The inhaler is available in chocolate as well as coffee flavor．

　　It was invented by Prof．David Edwards．He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experiences, such as allowing people to try a variety of dishes from restaurant menus before ordering their meal．

　　He said, “In terms of living on whiffing, we aren't even close to being there．But there clearly has been a revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently, and choosing food for its aesthetic(審美的)pleasure．We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months．It is reasonable to predict that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health centered．”

　　The product came onto market in Paris in 2009 and the first production run of 25,000 inhalers were sold out within a month．It has since been made available across France and in the US．In Britain Le Whif is to be sold firstly in House of Fraser for a month, after which it could become more widely distributed．

(1)

We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________．

[　　]

A．

Le Whif isn't availabe in British stores yet

B．

Le Whif can help dieters to lose weight

C．

Le Whif is calorie-free

D．

Le Whif is popular with British chocolate lovers

(2)

What's the main purpose of inventing Le Whif?

[　　]

A．

To replace food．

B．

To help people stop drinking coffee．

C．

To replace the traditional chocolate．

D．

To increase people's dining experiences．

(3)

Which of the following statements does David Edwards agree with?

[　　]

A．

His new products will come out once a year．

B．

The whiffing products in the future will be improved．

C．

Le Whif can make people eat less food．

D．

Le Whif is a revolution that will change people's life．
