I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. A newspaper reporter him why he was able to be so much more than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?

He that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!

When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and mess you have made! I have seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？”

Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿)，a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer？” He chose the sponge and together they up the spilled milk.

His mother then said，“You know，what we have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two hands. Let's go out in/span> the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can a way to carry it without dropping it. ”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the near the lip with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful !

This scientist then remarked it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be to make mistakes. Instead, he knew that mistakes were just for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific are all about．Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually something valuable.

【解析】當記者采訪一位富有創(chuàng)造性的杰出科學家為什么他與眾不同時，這位科學家說這一切源于2歲時媽媽給他上的一課，從中我們可以意識到孩提時代的教育方法的重要性。

【1】A 考查動詞。根據(jù)下文“a newspaper reporter”可知記者是在采訪他，故選A interviewed“采訪”。questioned“質(zhì)問”；introduced“介紹”；considered“考慮；認為”。

【2】B 考查形容詞。根據(jù)第一句話中“had made several very important medical breakthroughs”可知，這位科學家做出了許多突破，因此是很有創(chuàng)造力的，故選B項creative“有創(chuàng)造力的”。clever“聰明的”；lively“活潑的”；diligent“勤奮的”。

【3】D 考查動詞。根據(jù)語境可知，此處科學家是在回答記者的問題，故選D項responded“回答”。declared“宣稱”；required“要求”；informed“通知”。

【4】A 考查名詞。根據(jù)該句中“a real sea of milk”可知小男孩(spilled)打翻了瓶子里的牛奶，故選A項contents“所含之物，內(nèi)容”。materials“材料”；water“水”；color“顏色”。

【5】C 考查動詞。根據(jù)下文媽媽的反應(yīng)可知，媽媽并沒有生氣，故選C項yell at“對……大吼大叫”。smiling “微笑”；staring“盯著某人看（不禮貌的）”；speaking“說話”。

【6】A 考查形容詞。根據(jù)前文的great和下文中的“such a huge lake of milk”可知，母親是在夸獎自己的兒子，故選A項wonderful“極好的，精彩的，絕妙的”。terrible“可怕的”；beautiful“美麗的”；awful“糟糕的；可怕的”。

【7】B 考查副詞。根據(jù)語境可知媽媽夸獎兒子打翻牛奶在地上形成了“小湖”，這種情況是很少見的。故選B項rarely“罕見的”。usually“經(jīng)常地”；generally“一般地”；gradually“逐漸地”。

【8】C考查名詞。根據(jù)上文可知兒子把牛奶打翻了一地，造成了“破壞（損失）”，故選C項。danger“危險”；impression“印象”；scene“場景”。

【9】A 考查連接副詞。該空引導(dǎo)后面的狀語從句，其余三項均不符合句意。根據(jù)句意可知，媽媽在教導(dǎo)兒子說：“記住，無論何時你犯了類似的錯誤……”。故選A項whenever“無論何時”。wherever“無論何地” ； however“無論多么”；whatever“無論什么”。

【10】B 考查動詞。由該空后的“to its proper order”可知，此處意為“把東西恢復(fù)到原來的位置”。B項restore“修復(fù)，恢復(fù)”符合句意。replace“代替”；repair“修理”；remain“依然，留待”。

【11】A 考查動詞。由上文中的“clear it up”及“We could use a sponge or a towel”可知，兒子和媽媽一起把地上的牛奶清理干凈。故選A項clear“清理”。took“拿走”；gathered“聚集”；made“制造”。

【12】C 考查副詞。這里是指如何有效地抓住一個大的牛奶瓶，以防止它掉落。故選C項effectively“有效地”。meaningfully“有意義地”；beautifully“美麗地”；professionally“職業(yè)地”。

【13】D 考查形容詞。這里指的是兒子的手，應(yīng)為小手（tiny hand），故選D項tiny“極小的”，與big形成對比。full“充滿的”；empty“空的”；huge“巨大的”。

【14】A 考查動詞搭配。根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容可知，這里考查動詞慣用搭配discover a way to do sth.“找到做某事的方法”,故選A項discover“發(fā)現(xiàn)”。B. create“創(chuàng)作;產(chǎn)生”；think“認為”；observe“觀察”。

【15】B 考查名詞。由該空后的“near the lip”可知，應(yīng)該是抓住瓶口，故選B項top“頂部”。bottom“底部”； middle“中部”；end“末尾”。

【16】C 考查名詞。根據(jù)上文“The little boy learned that if he…”可知，此處要表達的意思是“多么精彩的一課！”，排除B、D兩項，而A項lecture一般指學術(shù)性的講座或課堂。故選C項lesson“經(jīng)驗，教訓(xùn)”。lecture “講座，訓(xùn)斥”；performance“表演，表現(xiàn)”；sight“視野”。

【17】A 考查形容詞。根據(jù)下文“Instead, he learned…”可知，此處表示科學家意識到了不要害怕犯錯，故選A項afraid“害怕的”。 awake“醒著的”；awkward“令人尷尬的，笨拙的”；horrified“恐怖的”。

【18】D 考查名詞。聯(lián)系上下文可知，有時候犯錯也是學到新東西的好機會，故選D項opportunities“機會”。conditions“條件”；situations“形勢，局面”；equipment“設(shè)備”。

【19】B 考查名詞。此處與后面一句“Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”相對應(yīng)，故選B項experiments“實驗”。observations“觀察”；experiments “實驗”；researches“研究”；surveys“調(diào)查”。

【20】A 考查動詞。此處與上文中的“l(fā)earning something new”相對應(yīng)，意為“我們經(jīng)常能從中學到有價值的東西”，故選A項learn“學到”。know “知道”；find“找到，發(fā)現(xiàn)”；see“看到，理解”。
