As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63,he left a fund of $9,000,000.The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature, and for world peace.The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10,1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money about $40,000.Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972,for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given.( )8.When was Alfred Nobel born?A. In 1938.B. In 1833.C. In 1896.D.

In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor too cold for liquid(液态)water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life.The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿)kilometres-500 million times farther away from us than the moon.A spacecraft traveling at one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years. A human can't live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft don't come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark.At present, scientists don't know what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that the planet is at the right distance from its star to have liquid water. It's also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface.Although spacecraft won't be getting there anytime soon. one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜）towards the planet and search for radiation(放射). By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化学物质) around the planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying the atmosphere would give us a good idea of whether the planet has life or not. But it'll probably be many years before we can do this properly.People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its discoverers.( )12. What did scientists find in September 2010?A. A planet with water.B. A planet, similar to the earth.C. A planet without life.D. A planet near the earth.( )13. According to the article, Gliese 581g _______.A. is at the right distance from its starB. moves around the earthC. is as far away from us as the moonD. can be reached in about 220 years( )14. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _______.C. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581gD. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g ( )15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?A. Gliese 581g, a Likely Living PlanetB. Gliese 581, a Likely Living PlanetC. Gliese 581g and Its StarD.
