Gravitational Waves (引力波) Scientist Albert Einstein thought of the idea of gravitational waves more than 100 years ago. But it was in September that people finally found them by using LIGO . Three US scientists, Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne, won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics because of their discovery of gravitational waves which allow scientists to look at the space in a new way.
Kazuo Ishiguro	International Writer 2017 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE He has an Asian face. He writes in English. And he writes stories happening in different places across the world. Kazuo Ishiguro ( 石墨一雄)， a Japanese --born English writer, won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature because his novels remind us of how international the world is .

Clock in your body Have you ever heard of the word” biological clock”? For many years, people have known there is a clock inside plants, animal and humans. However, nobody knows how this clock actually works. In the 1980s, three US scientists , Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young, found a gene(基因) that controls the clock. They found the biological clock influences people’s sleep, body temperature and so on, and the environment also influences the clock.

諾貝爾獎是很多作家、科學(xué)家們夢寐以求的一個(gè)獎項(xiàng)，這篇短文給我們介紹了2017年六項(xiàng)諾貝爾獎中的三個(gè)，即諾貝爾物理獎、諾貝爾文學(xué)獎和諾貝爾生理學(xué)獎。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的介紹可知，獲得諾貝爾物理獎的有三名科學(xué)家，分別是Rainer Weiss、Barry C. Barish和Kip S. Thorne；獲得諾貝爾生理學(xué)獎的有三位：Jeffrey C. Hall Michael Rosbash和Michael W. Young，一共是六名科學(xué)家。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段. In the 1980s, three US scientists , Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young, found a gene(基因) that controls the clock以及這一段的標(biāo)題2017 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSIOLOGY OR MEDICINE可知，這三名科學(xué)家獲得的是諾貝爾生理學(xué)或醫(yī)學(xué)獎。故應(yīng)選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中Scientist Albert Einstein thought of the idea of gravitational waves more than 100 years ago.可知，愛因斯坦在100年前首先提出了引力波的概念。故應(yīng)選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第三段And he writes stories happening in different places across the world.可知，石墨一雄寫發(fā)生在全世界不同地方的故事。故B選項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中Three US scientists, Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne, won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics because of their discovery of gravitational waves which allow scientists to look at the space in a new way.可知，引力波可以允許科學(xué)家們用一種新的方式看待太空，故A選項(xiàng)符合文意，選A。
