More than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab． Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine．
The prize for Dr Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes a ￡900,000 cheque． The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a "milestone in modern medicine"．
With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-born physiologist developed IVF — leading to the birth of the world's first test tube baby． Dr Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility treatment and given hope to millions of couples．
It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples． They said: "His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby． This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide．"
Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969．
Ivf-in-vitro fertilisation is the process whereby egg cells are fertilised outside the body before being implanted in the womb． After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five — the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally．
Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955．He once said: "The most important thing in life is having a child． Nothing is more special than a child．" With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof． Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year． Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment．
But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was "unethical and immoral"．
Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive（生殖的） sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was "long overdue"． He said: “We couldn't understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted — this is the cherry on the cake for him．”
Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was "thrilled and delighted"．
1.What is Robert Edwards’ contribution to science?
A． Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby．
B． Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.
C． Enabling millions of couples to live a better life．
D． Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies．
2. What does the underlined word “afflicting”（Paragraph 4）most probably refer to?
A． Troubling. B． Developing.
C． Improving. D． Confusing.
3. Why did Professor Edwards begin his research on tube baby?
A． Because he thought it of great significance to have a child in life．
B． Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then．
C． Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family．
D． Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples．
4.It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that ___________．
A． some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded
B． different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards’ finding
C． Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough
D． the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral

【原創(chuàng)】On Sunday, Samsung used the 2015 installment of Mobile World Congress to announce the latest models of its Galaxy line of smartphones: the S6 and S6 Edge, aiming to retake its throne.
Both devices take the Galaxy line in a completely new direction. The most apparent change is the noticeable lack of plastic formerly synonymous with Samsung smartphones. With the S6 lineup, Samsung chose to go with a combination of metal and a glass housing.
The S6 Edge features a curved display on both edges of the screen. A fingerprint sensor sits below the home button. The user only needs to place a finger on the button and wait for the scan to complete. The change makes the experience nearly identical to that of Apple’s Touch ID.
Sure to disappoint Samsung loyalists, the South Korean company rejected two features long used to mock(嘲弄)Apple’s AAPL 0.49% iPhone: expandable storage and a replaceable battery. Looking beyond the changes in appearance are a faster processor, higher-quality camera, curved display, and wireless charging capabilities.
The new feature called Samsung Pay is very appealing and will bring users more convenience.
And it has a leg up on Apple Pay, which is limited to working only at retail locations and outlets with the necessary equipment to process NFC payments. With Samsung Pay, users won’t be caught in the middle of a spat between competing payment platforms. So go right ahead.
Another thing: Each year when Samsung would announce the latest Galaxy device, it would announce some software-based features that served little purpose. With this year’s release, Samsung cut the fat. Any unnecessary menus were left out.
For years, Samsung’s flagship phones have been long on features, but short on follow-through. The new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge appear to lay the groundwork for a lineup of devices that are quite the opposite.
1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The competition between Samsung and Apple.
B. The introduction of the latest models of Samsung.
C. The development of Samsung company.
D. The similarity between Apple and Samsung.
2.Which is NOT the new feature of the S6 and S6 Edge?
A. An emergency battery B. A faster processor.
C. Samsung Pay. D. Higher-quality camera.
3.According to the passage, we can know Apple ______.
A. has a replaceable battery
B. has Touch ID
C. uses plastics as material
D. has no payment function
4.In which aspect may Samsung’s latest models disappoint its users?
A. It is more expensive than expected.
B. Mobile payment function is inconvenient.
C. It has more useless software.
D. Its storage can’t be expanded any longer.
5.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Samsung is longer in shape.
B. Samsung is good at creating new models.
C. Samsung has an advantage of function.
D. Samsung is always following trends.
