Today, his discovery of light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are u
7、sed in everything from DVDs to alarm clocks to airports. Dozens of his students have continued his work, developing lighting used in traffic lights and other everyday technology.On April 23, 2004, Holonyak received the $500, 000 Lemelson-MIT Prize at a ceremony in Washington. This marks the 10th yea
8、r that the Lemelson-MIT Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has given the award to prominent inventors. “Anytime you get an award big or little. Its always a surprise.“ Holonyrak said. Holonyak, 75, was a student of John Bardeen, an inventor of the transistor, in the early 195
9、0s. After graduate school, Holonyak worked at Ben Labs. He later went to General Electric, where he invented a switch now widely used in house dimmer switches.Later, Holonyak started looking into how semiconductors could be used to generate light. But while his colleagues were looking at how to gene
10、rate invisible light, he wanted to generate visible light. The LEDS he invented in 1962 now last about 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, and are more environmentally friendly and effective.Holonyak, now a professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics at the University of Illino
11、is, said he suspected that LEDs would become as commonplace as they are today, but didnt realize how many uses they would have.“You dont know in the beginning. You think youre doing something important. You think its worth doing, but you really cant tell what the big payoff is going to be, and when,
12、 and how. You just dont know, “he said.The Lemelson. MIT Program also recognized Edith Flanigen, 75, with the $100,000 Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award for her work on a new generation of “molecular sieves“, that can separate molecules by size.（分数：7.00）(1).Holonyaks colleagues thought he woul

Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean fell to a record low.Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters
19、 around the North Pole each winter and shrinks during the summer. But for many years, the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining.Since 1979, each decade has seen an 11.4 percent drop in end of summer ice cover. Between 1981 and 2000, ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thick
20、ness, becoming 1.13 meters thinner.Last summer, Arctic sea ice reached its skimpiest levels yet. By the end of summer 2007, the ice had shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers. Thats 38 percent less area than the average cover at that time of year. And its a very large 23 percent below th
21、e previous record low, which was set just 2 years ago. This continuing trend has scientists concerned.There may be several reasons for the ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer at the University of Washington at Seattle. Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds p
22、ushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic, leaving a large area of thin ice and open water.Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past. Clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean. The extra heat warms both the water and the atmosphere. In parts of
23、the Arctic Ocean last year, surface temperatures were 3.5 warmer than average and 1.5 warmer than the previous record high.With both air and water getting warmer, the ice is melting from both above and below. In some parts of the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska and western Canada, ice that measured 3.
24、3 meters thick at the beginning of the summer measured just 50 centimeters by seasons end.The new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than scientists have seen by just looking at ice cover from above, says Donald K. Perovich, a geophysicist at the U. S. Army Cold Regions Research an

29、entistsUnderstanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle event-flowering, the appearance of leaves, the first frog calls of the spring all around the world.But ecologists cant be everywhere so theyre turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scienti
30、sts, for help.Climate scientists are not present everywhere. Because there are so many places in the world and not enough scientists to observe all of them, theyre asking for your help in observing signs of climate change across the world. The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to
31、o observe a very specific research interest-birds, trees, flowers budding, etc. and send their observations to a giant database to be observed by professional scientists. This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they would never be able to gather on their own. Much l
32、ike citizen journalists helping large publications cover a hyper-local beat, citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live. All thats needed to become one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send it in.A group of scientists and educators launched an organizati
33、on last year called the National Phenology Network. “Phenology“ is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.One of the groups first efforts relies on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant flowering and leafing every year. The program, called Project
34、BudBurst, collects life cycle data on a variety of common plants from across the United States. People participating in the project which is open to everyone record their observations on the Project BudBurst website.“People dont have to be plant experts, they just have to look around and see whats i
35、n their neighborhood,“ says Jennifer Schwartz, an education consultant with the project. “As we collect this data, well be able to make an estimate of how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate changes./（分数：15.00）(1).Ecologists turn to non-scientist citizens for hel

40、changes.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Rockets in the SkyIf someone asked you. “What color is the sky?“ I expect that you would answer, “Blue.“ I am afraid that you would be wrong. The sky has no color. When we see blue, we are looking at blue sunlight. The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the ai
41、r.We know that there is air all around the world. We could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air.
42、 What is the sky? The sky is space. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon and all the stars.Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space. They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal.The moon is about
43、 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. An airplane cannot fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket.I am sure that you are asking. “How does a rocket fly?“ If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big. Do not tie up
44、the neck of the balloon. Let go! The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It rushes out through neck of the ball off and this pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings like an air plane.This is how a rocket works. It is not
45、made of rubber like a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air.Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets
46、with men inside them have already reached the moon. Several rockets, without men inside them, have been sent to other worlds much farther away. One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space.（分数：15.00）(1).What color is the sky?（分数：3.00）A.It is blue.B.It is white.C.It is grey.D.It has no col
