His idea of fiber-optic(光纤) communications has made the modern telephone and Internet possible. People can exchange text, music and photos around the world within seconds thanks to this technology.Half the $1.4 million prize goes to Charles Kao for discovering how to send light signals long distances through hair-thin glass fibers. The other half goes to the Americans Boyle and Smith for inventing a sensor(传感器) that turns light into electrical signals. Their invention led to digital cameras.Kao was born in Shanghai in 1933 and now has both American and British citizenship(公民身份).Kao has been interested in science since he was a boy. He once tried making a bomb at home using chemicals and water; then he threw it in the street. Fortunately, no one was hurt!After primary school and the first year of middle school, Kao moved to Hong Kong with his family. He went to Hong Kong University, but he had to go to London University to study electrical engineering. Later he studied fiber-optic communications.Kao said in 1966 that glass fibers could carry light over long distances. Not many took him seriously at the time. But in 1970, researchers in the US were able to make the material.Today the fibers are used throughout the world in computer cables and other cables. The light that flows through them sends text, music, pictures and video globally in less than a second. If you put together all the fibers in the world, you would get a single thread over 1 billion kilometers long. That is enough to go around the globe more than 25,000 times.4. Why was Charles Kao awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics?A. Because he invented the modern telephone and Internet.B. Because he discovered the way to send light signals through glass fibers.C. Because his idea led to the invention of digital cameras.D. Because he together with Boyle and Smith invented a sensor which changes light into electrical signals.5. The passage mainly tells us _.A. how Charles Kao became a great scientistB. how Charles Kao discovered fiber-optic communicationsC. Charles Kaos contribution and his growthD.

Charles Kao left his parents and went to Hong Kong after the first year of middle school.B. Charles Kao is a Chinese-American.C. Charles Kao studied fiber-optic communications in Hong Kong University.D. Only a few people considered Charles Kaos idea very useful at the very beginning. CDid anyone find the names of “Great Britain”, “the United Kingdom”, “England” and “the British commonwealth” which have the same meaning? Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map. Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands. But the word “Britain” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK.Now as for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of the British Empire. This change shows the weakening of British Empire and the rising of the national liberation movements throughout the world today.8.

Great Britain has the same meaning as BritainC. all the names in the first paragraph have the same meaningD. the United Kingdom has the same meaning as Britain or England9.

He always checks ideas 19 and makes experiments to prove them. The rise of modern science may perhaps be considered to 20 as far back as the time of Roger Bacon，the wonderful philosopher of Oxford，who lived between the years 1214 and 1292.
