【題目】閱讀短文并回答后面的問(wèn)題。

The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. As a boy, Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He enjoyed watching nature, and comparing what he saw with everything he had read in science books.
At sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature. Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University. He left the university in 1831. Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist. His teacher advised him to go. So when the Beagle left England in December, 1831, Darwin was on it. The trip lasted almost five years.
In 1842 Darwin went to live in Ken. Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change. By 1859 Darwin had finished his famous book "The Origin of Species". Darwin continued his studies in science before he died in 1882.

【解析】本文是一篇人物介紹的閱讀理解。主要介紹了生物進(jìn)化論的提出者——達(dá)爾文。
（1）1825.數(shù)值計(jì)算題。根據(jù)第一段“was born on February 12, 1809.出生在180年二月十二日”及第二段“At sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to become a doctor. 在十六歲，Darwin被送到愛(ài)丁堡大學(xué)去成為一個(gè)醫(yī)生”計(jì)算可得是在1825年被送到愛(ài)丁堡大學(xué)的。故填1825.
（2）No, he didn't. Because he was interested in the history of nature and he went to South America to be scientist。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“But he was interested in the history of nature. 但是他對(duì)自然史感興趣。”及“ was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist. 將要去往南美成為一個(gè)科學(xué)家”由此可知，他并不想成為醫(yī)生。故填No, he didn't. Because he was interested in the history of nature and he went to South America to be scientist。
（3）We learn that plants and animals are not always the same and that they really change from his studies。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change. ”可知，達(dá)爾文理解到植物和動(dòng)物不總是一樣的，他們真的在改變。故填We learn that plants and animals are not always the same and that they really change from his studies。
