2.Albert Einsrein is known as the father of modern physics,but he may not be the man your kids should aspire(有志) to be.Instead,the person we should be looking up to is the productive Thomas Alva Edison.
Researchers at Penn State and William Paterson universities came to that conclusion after conducting a series of studies with college students and finding that students were more motivated by the hard-working Edison type than Einstein's "genius(天才) is my birthright" model.
"There's a misleading message out there that says you have to be a genius in order to be a scientist," says study co-author Danfei Hu at Penn State,who thinks this may be a big cause of people not choosing science and missing,out on a great career. "Struggling is a normal part of doing science and exceptional talent is not the only precondition for succeeding in science!It's important we help spread this message in science education." she continues.
In one study conducted by Hu and Janet N.Ahn of William Paterson University,participants read the same story--about the typical difficulty faced by a scientist -- with half told the hero of the story was Einstein and the other half told it was Edison.It may have been the same story,but knowing it involved Einstein prompted students to assume he overpowered his struggles using his giant brain.When told Edison was the hero,students more with the idea that he outworked his problems.Indeed,the latter students were more motivated to complete a series of math problems.
Einstein's success is commonly linked to extraordinary talent while Edison's is usually linked to his persistence and diligence.That's not to say Einstein put little effort into revolutionizing science.He worked as hard as anyone.But the popular understanding remains that his brain --something that can't be "emulated"--was like no other.So why bother trying to follow in his footsteps?Edison,however,a man with a huge number of successes as well as plenty of failures,but finally someone who made the world a better place,is the kind of man we can all aspire to be.
(1)What did the researchers discover in their studies?
A.Hard workers are better role models than geniuses.
B.Young people have unreasonable admiration for geniuses.
C.Edison's contribution to science is greater than Einstein's.
D.Young people are not familiar with Einstein's and Edison's work.
(2)What does Hu suggest in science education?
A.Setting examples.
B.Encouraging failures.
C.Advocating hardwork.
D.Discovering talent.
(3)Which might be the author's view on Einstein?
A.Not productive but influential as a physicist.
B.A genius who succeeded in science easily.
C.A great physicist with many hidden virtues.
D.well-known genius and an unacknowledged hard worker.
(4)The underlined word "emulated" can be replaced by "
A.examined
B.copied
C.wasted
D.damaged組卷:12引用:3難度:0.5 -
3.There are a lot of feral (野生的) camels in Australia.Although they don't appear to be as destructive as other introduced species because they eat trees and plants that our native Australian animals don't eat,in the last few years the Australian Camel population has been increasing at a fairly alarming rate and becoming a bit of a problem.
We didn't see them that often where we grew up unless we went further into Queensland or South Australia.When we did see them it was always a bit of a thrill for us kids because it was somewhat of a novelty.
The suggestion of bringing camels to Australia was first made in 1837,49 years after Europeans arrived in Australia.The importing of camels into Australia began in the mid 1800s to open up the desert areas of Cental and Western Australia.They were handled and cared for by Muslim cameleers that came from countries like Egypt,Turkey and northern India.The cameleers were called Afghans or "Ghans" even though most of them were not Afghans.The name stuck to a part of the railroad track that links Port Augusta in South Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory.
In a famous 176-kilometre race,between Bourke and Wanaaring in New South Wales a camel was beaten by a horse but the horse diet the next day while the camel was ridden back to the starting point.
By the 1920s there were about 20,000 domesticated (家養(yǎng)的) camels in Australia,but with the arrival of motor and rail transport in the 1930s people no longer needed their camels and a lot of them were abandoned in the bush.
Australian Camels are now exported live to Saudi Arabia,the United Arab Emirates and other countries where disease-free camels are considered a delicacy (佳肴).Australian Camels are also exported to Arab Camel racing stables as breeding stock.The United States also imports them to use in tourist attractions.There are over 40 farms providing rides in Australia now.
(1)What problem with camels in Australia is mentioned?
A.They carry disease.
B.They hurt people sometimes.
C.The number of them is growing rapidly.
D.Some native animals are threatened by them.
(2)For what purpose were camels brought to Australia?
A.To keep the balance of nature.
B.To develop the desert areas.
C.To satisfy kids' curiosity.
D.To create new jobs.
(3)What led to camels' being deserted in Australia?
A.The disappearance of bushes.
B.The spread of a serious disease.
C.The introduction of other animals.
D.The availability of modern vehicles.
(4)What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The history of Australian Camels.
B.What Australian Camels are used for.
C.The advantages of Australian Camels.
D.Why Australian Camels are popular abroad.組卷:2引用:3難度:0.5

9.Several years ago,as I was on a business trip from San Francisco to New Orleans,I noticed I would have some time at the airport in Dallas before catching my connecting flight.So I called my friend Luke who lived in Dallas "Luke,I've got an hour-and-a-half stop at the airport.If you'll come out and meet my plane,I'll treat you to dinner." Luke enthusiastically agreed.
When the pilot announced that our flight would be delayed an extra few minutes in San Francisco,I became upset.Every minute that passed was one minute less that I would be able to spend with my friend.The plane arrived in Dallas an hour late.That left me only half an hour to stay with Luke and I still needed time to catch my connecting flight.At this point,I knew our having dinner together was totally out of the question.
When I stepped off the plane,Luke was there,waiting for me. "Hey,Luke," I said apologetically, "Thanks for coming out to meet me.I hope you didn't have to wait here too long."
"Oh,no problem," he replied easily. "I called ahead and found out your plane was going to be late."
"Oh,good," I replied. "Look,I'm really sorry about dinner,but I'll owe you one next time.Come on,we'll find out what gate my next plane is leaving from.We can head over there together and talk a bit."
"I am very interested in having dinner with you," he said to me.
"The only way you're going to have dinner with me tonight is if you buy a plane ticket to New Orleans!" "We're having dinner," replied Luke with determination. "Believe me,I have this whole thing arranged.Just follow me."
He picked up one of my bags and carried it out through the security check.The two of us hurried down a short flight of stairs in the parking garage and walked rapidly along several rows of cars until we came to the place where Luke's car was parked.
Paragraph 1:
I immediately noticed,in the parking space next to his car,a folding table.__________
Paragraph 2:
With seven and one-half minutes to go,we put everything back in the car and ran for my plane.________組卷:0引用:2難度:0.4
