I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs (突破). He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him 1 he thought he was able to be so much more 2 than the average person.

He responded that it all came from a(n) 3 with his mother that happened when he was about two. He had been trying to 4 milk from the fridge when he 5 the slippery (光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in, 6 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful 7 you have made! I have 8 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 9 . Would you like to get down and 10 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?

His mother said, "You know, what we have here is a 11 experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two 12 hands. Let’s fill the bottle with water and see if you can 13 it." The little boy learned that if he 14 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 15 !

This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be 16 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 17 for learning something new, which is, 18 , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn’t 19 , we usually learn something 20 from it.

【解析

【语篇解读】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。

小题1】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。

小题2】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。

小题3】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"。

小题4】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。

小题5】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)"。

小题6】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"。

小题7】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"。

小题8】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"。

小题9】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。

小题10】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。

小题11】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。

小题12】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"。

小题13】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。

小题14】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";analyze"分析";break"打碎";hold"握住"。故选D。

小题15】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。

小题16】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。

小题17】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。

小题18】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"。

小题19】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"。

小题20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。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Canyoning (蹦谷运动)

The sports of canyoning explore the high-energy environment where water meets rock on the coast. Protected by wetsuits and helmets (头盔), people jump from cliffs (悬崖) and waterfalls and discover caves that would not normally be arrived at.

It was first done in the U.K. by TYF Adventure (01437 721611, www.tyf.com) and several thousand people jump from the cliffs near St David’s each year. A half day canyoning trip costs £50 (£30 for children under 16).

Diving (潜水)

Diving is not popular with British people. The difficulties of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough, but the coasts of Cornwall, Wales and Scotland have some of the best diving in the world.

The British Sub Aqua Club (0870 112 9133, www.bsac.com) and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (01580 819688, www.padi.com) run courses teaching the important skills.

Surfing (冲浪)

The best surfing places in the UK are on the southwest coast where it is warmer, especially in Cornwall. The best time of year to surf in the UK is late summer and autumn when water temperatures are warmer.

The British Surfing Association (01479 861256, www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.

Rock climbing

The most popular natural rocks in Britain include the Peak District, the Lake District, while large areas of Scotland are a climber’s ideal place. Climbing courses and climbing walls can be found on the website of the British Mountaineering Council (0870 010 4878, www.thebmc.co.uk) which offers a series of short films that take the new climber through a step-by-step guide to visiting a climbing wall for the first time.

【1】If a couple with their child of 15 join in Canyoning for a day, they will pay ______.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, and do not make mistakes. And they are honest. Many banks say that their business is “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe. But they have no thought that the growing number of computer crimes (犯罪) show they can be used to steal.

Computer criminals (罪犯) dont use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there is often no proof. A computer cannot remember who used it. It simply does what it is told. The head teller(出纳主管) at a New York City bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this because he moved the money from one account (账户) to another. Each time a customer whose money he had stolen questioned the balance in his account, the teller said it was a computer mistake, then replaced the missing money from someone else’s account. This man was caught at last.

Some workers use the computer’s power to punish their bosses they consider unfair. Recently, a large company fired its computer record assistant for reasons that were connected with her personal life rather than her job. She was given thirty days notice. In those thirty days, she stole all the company’s computerized records.

Most computer criminals have been common workers. Now police wonder if this is “the tip of iceberg”. As one official says, “I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing—the ones who really know a computer works.”

【1】This passage is mainly about ________.

A. computer crimes

B. stealing through computers

C. computer mistakes

D. punishment through computers

【2】Business in many banks is declared to be safe because ________.

A. paperwork is no longer needed

B. computers are honest

C. people are not allowed to work there

D. it is done through computers

【3】The head teller covered up his crimes ________.

A. because no one had questioned him

B. because he had stolen money carefully

C. by moving money through computers

D. by lying to the police

【4】The assistant stole all the computerized records ________.

A. by chance

B. after she was dismissed

C. because she had been done wrong

D. because the company decided to dismiss her
