Question

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 he thought he was able to be so much more than the average person.

He responded that it all came from a(n) with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to milk from the fridge when he the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

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

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to restore everything to its proper order. So, 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.

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

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

【解析】

試題分析：一位科學(xué)家能夠與眾不同，為什么？這與他的母親的教育有關(guān)。兩歲時(shí)，他把奶瓶掉在地上，媽媽鼓勵(lì)他通過實(shí)驗(yàn)如何把瓶子抓好，因?yàn)殄e(cuò)誤往往是學(xué)習(xí)新知識(shí)的良機(jī)。媽媽的做法也培養(yǎng)了他勇敢面對(duì)失敗、敢于擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)钠焚|(zhì)。

1.考查動(dòng)詞辨析和對(duì)語(yǔ)境的理解。A. why為什么；B. what什么；C. when什么時(shí)候；D. how如何。代入四個(gè)選項(xiàng)可知，（why）為什么他比別人更有創(chuàng)造力？故選A。

The temperature has dropped [fell]. 氣溫降低了。He dropped [fell] from the top of the building. 他從屋頂?shù)袅讼聛?lái)。2. fall 表示“落下”，多指無(wú)意識(shí)的行為，有自然墜落之意，且通常是不及物動(dòng)詞;drop 既可指無(wú)意的行為，即表示“落下”(不及物)，也可指有意的行為，即表示“投下”(及物)。如：Rain began to drop [fall]. 開始下起雨來(lái)。Drop the hammar down to me. 把錘子扔下來(lái)給我。后面也有he could carry it without dropping it.提示他把瓶子掉地下了。故選D。
