His mother said, “You know, what we have here is a ____ experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two ____ hands.

【解析】
一位科学家为什么能够与众不同?这与他母亲对他的教育有关。两岁时,他把奶瓶掉在地上,牛奶撒了一地,妈妈没有批评他,反而鼓励他尝试如何把瓶子抓好,因为错误往往是学习新知识的良机。妈妈的做法也培养了他勇敢地面对失败、敢于担当的品质。
【1】 A 句意:记者采访他,为什么他认为他能够比一般人更有创造力。由前后文语境可知,此处表示原因,why (为什么)符合句意,故选A。
【2】 C 第一句话说了他有几项重要的医学突破,这应该离不开一种创造力。
【3】 B 句意:他回应道:这完全来自于他两岁时和妈妈在一起的一次经历。根据后面科学家的一段经历可知,B项符合语境。idea“主意”;experience“经历”;accident“事故”;defeat“失败”。
【4】C 句意:他一直尽力把牛奶从冰箱里拿出来,此时瓶子从手中滑落。carry“携带”;replace“取代”;remove“移动”;protect“保护”。remove...from是固定搭配,意思是“从……地方拿走/移开”,故选C。
【5】D 根据后文语境he could carry it without dropping it可知,他把瓶子掉到地上了。故选D。drop与fall两者都可表示“掉,落”,区别如下:fall表示“落下”,多指无意的行为,有自然坠落之意,且通常是不及物动词;drop既可指无意的行为,即表示“落下(不及物)”,也可指有意的行为,即表示“投下(及物)”。
【6】 B 妈妈没有因为奶瓶掉了,牛奶洒了一地而对他喊叫或者讲一番道理。in honor of“纪念”;instead of“代替,而不是”; in spite of “尽管”;in place of“人或物替代其他人或物”。
【7】 D 句意:你弄得可真够乱的。下文妈妈提到make a mess。make a mess是固定搭配,意思是“搞得乱七八糟”。故选D。picture“照片”;mass“团,块”;map“地图”;mess“脏乱;混乱”。
【8】 A 句意:“我”很少见到这么一大摊牛奶。由上文可知妈妈说儿子这个乱子不小,因此下文对应地说“很少”见到这种情况。故rarely“很少”符合句意;happily“高兴地”;frequently“经常地”;angrily“生气地”。
【9】 C 句意:既然已经造成了损害。suffer“遭受”;do damage是固定搭配,意为“损害”,这里用了被动形式,故选C。
【10】 B 句意:你愿意在牛奶中玩一会儿然后我们再收拾干净吗?jump“跳”,play“玩”;enjoy“喜欢”;handle“处理”。get down and play 相当于get down to playing,故选B。
【11】 A 他把奶瓶掉在地上,所以应该说是一次失败的经历。failed“失败的”;successful“成功的”;fantastic“不可思议的”;painful“痛苦的”,故选A。
【12】 B 前文提到他当时只有两岁,所以他的手应该是小的:tiny“小的”。故选B。strong“强壮的”;thin“瘦的”;expert“熟练的”。
【13】 D 句意:把瓶子里装满水,看看你能不能做好。get it“明白了”;put it“放”;try it“试试看”;make it“成功”。 故选D。
【14】D 句意:小男孩学会了如果他两只手抓住上边靠近瓶口的地方,他就可以抓住奶瓶不掉落了。control“控制”;analyse“分析”;break“打碎”;hold“握住”,故选D。
【15】. C 通过自己亲手做让孩子知道怎么做,这一课上得很精彩。cure“治愈”;teaching“教学”;lesson“课,教训”;instruction“命令;指示”,故选C。
【16】 D 句意:科学家在那一刻也明白了他不必害怕犯错误。concerned“担心的”;nervous“紧张的”;fearful“可怕的”;athletic“运动的”。固定短语be afraid to do sth.意为“不敢做某事”,故选D。
【17】 B 句意:他懂得了错误只是他学习新东西的机会。 situation“局面”; chance“机会”;time“时代,次数”;turn“转弯”,故选B。
【18】 A 句意:通过以上的经历,科学家的感受是:科学实验终究是试验一个又一个的错误。after all“毕竟;终究”,符合句意;above all“最重要的是”;first of all“首先;第一”;in all“总共;合计”。
【19】. D 句意:即使实验不成功,我们通常也可以学到有价值的东西。work“工作;起作用”,故选D。do“做”;finish“完成”;go“去;前往”。
【20】 C 句意:即使实验不成功,我们通常也可以学到有价值的东西。lovable“可爱的”;severe“严重的”;valuable“有价值的”;interesting“有趣的”,故选C。

【题目】In my profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, "l might die soon. I'm not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too. I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me."
【1】 What is the boy Tyler's attitude towards death?
A. Pessimistic.
B. Optimistic.
C. Sorrowful.
D. Fearful.
【2】 Tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply because __________.
A. red is a lucky color
B. red might help to cure him
C. his mom could spot him easily
D. he could find more mates by wearing red
【3】 Which of the following might serve as a possible title for this passage?
A. My Unusual Profession
B. A Caring Mother
C. Mother and Son
D. Dying in Red
【4】 The underlined word "dynamo" in the fourth paragraph here means "__________".
A. a promising and helpful youth
B. an extremely energetic person
C. a rare and beautiful flower
D. a magic and understanding superstar
