ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It is Nobel Prize week,the one week every year when people from all corners of the globe celebrate science,read about ribosomes(核糖体),and give their best shot at trying to understand particle physics.It is also the one week when science is guaranteed some prime headline space on mainstream news outlets.And yet the science Nobels(in medicine,physics,and chemistry)present a(n)(41)_ view of science.The problem starts with the(42)_ of prize-winners selected every year.The rules governing the Nobel Prize(43)_ it to just three winners in each category.This means that for every discovery that is awarded a Nobel,the majority of contributing scientists end up being(44)_.As a matter of fact,science has never been a(n)(45)_ effort.Isaac Newton stood on the“shoulders of giants”;Neil Armstrongs“one small step”was a dream realized by hundreds of thousands of engineers and scientists.Science is,and always has been,and repetitive process where individuals draw on discoveries made by others to(46)_ advance the boundaries of human knowledge.Yes,Albert Einstein famously won the Nobel Prize all by himself for a paper he alone authored,but he could not have made his discoveries without(47)_ work by Max Planck,James Maxwell,and several others.To make matters worse,typical of the Nobel Prizes,none of the(48)_ was a first author on any of the publications cited by the prize announcements.The first author of a scientific paper is typically the person who did the hands-on laboratory work,usually a graduate student or young post-doctoral researcher.It is precisely these(49)_ researchers who are in greater need of the Nobel Prize money than their generally tenured(终身的)supervisors.More basically,awarding the prizes to only three scientists spreads a vision of science as an individual enterprise.By ensuring that graduate students are not given(50)_ recognition,the prizes reinforce(加强)the mistaken image of a scientist as an old white man in a lab coat.This can only(51)_ gender and racial inequalities in science,especially further along in an academic career.Any one of these reasons is sufficient to(52)_ the Nobel Prizes.Here is one idea:Award the Nobel Prizes not to(53)_ but for discoveries;donate the prize money to an 学科网（北京）股份有限公司international science fund to promote further exploration in each years prize-winning field of research.A science-oriented Nobel,rather than a scientist-oriented one,would educate the public in the most important scientific developments and,(54)_,stimulate new scientific progress by using the prize money to fund the next generation of researchers.Science works best when the(55)_ of one generation of scientists are paid forward to drive the next to even greater heights.That is to say,scientists of different generations work with joint efforts to support future scientific advancements for the betterment of society as a whole.41.A.strangeB.outdatedC.all-roundD.advanced42.A.qualityB.diversityC.discipline

that,for him,running was not a sport.It was everything,his religion,his beloved,and his life.As a child,Singh ran to get an education outside his home village.The school was ten kilometers away.But at

work,six hours a day.He pushed his body to the limit out of prideand for India.His iron discipline finally paid off.In 1960,he was invited to compete against Pakistans champion runner.At first,Singh refused to go since his childhood home was there and now he was still covered in his mind with the blood of his family.However,the moment Singh crossed the border,to his surprise,he was welcomed with flags and flowers.When he won his race,the then Pakistani prime minister said,“Pakistan bestows on(授予)you the title of The Flying Sikh.”Despite everything that had happened,Singh had two
