 阅读理解  Donna Strickland was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Arthur Ashkin and Gérard Mourou. It's the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this famous prize, but why has it taken so long? We look at five other pioneering female physicists—past and present—who actually deserve the prize.  Jocelyn Bell Burnell  Perhaps the most famous snub (冷落): thenstudent Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967, when she was a PhD student at Cambridge. The Nobel Prize that recognised this landmark discovery in 1974, however, went to her male supervisor, Antony Hewish. Recently awarded a ￡ 2.3 million Breakthrough Prize, which she gave away to help underrepresented students, she joked to The Guardian, "I feel I've done very well out of not getting a Nobel Prize."  Lene Hau  Hau is best­known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light, before managing to stop it completely in 2001. Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists, could next year be Hau's year?   Vera Rubin   Rubin discovered dark matter in the 1980s, opening up a new field of astronomy. She died in 2016, without recognition from the committee.  Chien­Shiung Wu  Wu's "Wu experiment" helped disprove the "law of conservation of parity". Her experimental work was helpful but never honoured, and instead, her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize for their theoretical work behind the study.  Lise Meitner  Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission(核裂变). However, the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which was won by her male co­leader, Otto Hahn.  （1） When was the discovery of radio pulsars recognised by the Nobel?  A . In 1974. B . In 1967. C . In 1944. D . In 1980. （2） Which woman is most likely to win a Nobel Prize later according to the text?  A . Donna Strickland. B . Jocelyn Bell Burnell. C . Lene Hau. D . Vera Rubin. （3） What do we know about the five females?  A . The five female scientists did well in chemistry. B . Vera Rubin had opened up a new field in geometry. C . Lise Meitner's teacher won a Nobel Prize for her work. D . The five female scientists haven't been awarded Nobel Prize. 答案： A C D
