Last year, Shanghai-born Charles K. Kao and two North American scientists got the 2009 Nobel Prize(诺贝尔奖) in Physics together. Their work made the Internet come into a new age.
Kao, 77, was born in Shanghai in 1933. He is famous for finding out how to transmit (传输)light signals(信号) over long ways through glass fibers (玻璃纤维) as thin as a human hair. His work makes the Internet information transmit faster around the world. Kao was vice chancellor(副校长) of the Chinese University of Hong Kong from 1987 to 1996. He doesn’t work, and lives in Hong Kong now.
The Chinese people were pleased to learn the good news. "The people of Hong Kong and I send our congratulations to Kao on receiving the prize... Kao is also a true gentleman. We are greatly proud to have such an excellent person in Hong Kong. "Zeng Yinquan once said.
Willard Boyle, a Canadian American, and George Smith of the United States got the other half of the prize.
Which of the following is Not true ( )

A:Kao’s work makes the Internet information transmit faster around the world. B:Kao is still working in the Chinese University of Hong Kong now. C:Willard Boyle and George Smith are both scientists. D:Kao is died now.

Want a glimpse of the future of health care Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf PDA(personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response—especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world—CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.
The word "problem" in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that______.

A:there are not enough mobile phones for distributing medical intelligence B:CT scans are one of the biggest bandwidth consumers C:bandwidth is not adequate to transmit complex medical images around the world D:communications satellites can only cope with the short-term needs during disasters

Passage One
Guglielmo Marconi was born in Italy in 1874. He studied in Bologna and since his childhood, he showed great interest in physics and electricity. Basing his studies on Hertz’s findings, Marconi concluded that the electromagnetic waves could transmit messages, so he conducted his research in that direction.
As Marconi did not get any financial incentives from the Italian government, he moved to England where he got funds for his research.
In 1897, Marconi was able to communicate via radio through the Brisiol Channel. In 1901, he transmitted long-wave radio signals across the Atlantic Ocean. At that time, Marconi was already recognized as a great name in science and technology.
In ,1909, he shared the Nobel Prize in physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun, a German physicist, who worked on wireless telegraphy and cathode rays.
Marconi died in 1937.

A:communicate via radio through the Bristol Channel B:establish a long distance transmission C:transmit the first radio messages D:work with a German physicist

Ⅳ Reading Comprehension Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B,- C and D.

Soon, creating a hospital in cyberspace may no longer be science fiction. NASA’s Ames Research Center and Salinas Valley Memorial HosPital are working toeether in bring a virtual medical facility to the World Wide Web in the enear future.
The venture will involve machines that transmit and receive data and three- dimensional images of the human body via a special workstation located at the hospital. Medical professionals will send diagnostic information to NAS

A:through its Research and Education Network, which will transmit the 3 -D images and data back to the hospital for evaluation and image manipulation. The doctors will then give feedback about how well the network works and the quality of the images. B:In a virtual hospital, medical professionals will work at the real hospital. C:at NASA’s Research and Education Network. D:the World Wide Web. E:at a special workstation at hom
