Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas. Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect Find your answers from factsnot start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen from Northwestern University believed what he was taught: that water on the Earth came from icy ets（封星）or planets which hit into the Earth. However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acts like a sponge. This suggests that the Earth39。s water may have e from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activities. I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, he said. But think about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time that doesn39。t happen very often. When it does, it39。s amazing. Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency39。s Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which is 480 million kilometres away. The trip from the Earth by Philae had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface of the et would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted. When Philae tried to land, it bounced（彈起）away from the et39。s icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to the Earth.（1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn39。t finish college because . A.they preferred to learn by themselvesB.they needed standard ways of teachingC.their teachers didn39。t like their new ideasD.their teachers weren39。t able to teach them（2）In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that . A.we should get answers from factsB.we can believe what we are taughtC.it39。s hard to make others believe somethingD.an expectation can help get an answer in research（3）The example Philae in Lesson 3 shows that . A.Comet 67P is not far away from the EarthB.it tookPhilae20 years to reach Comet 67PC.Philae landed on Comet 67P with a little luckD.scientists knew nothing about the surface of Comet 67P（4）The best title for this passage is . A.Ways of discoveringB.Lessons for successC.Ways of being specialD.Lessons for experiments【答案】 （1）A（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】文章大意：我們能從世界上那些使不可能的事情成為可能的特別的、非常成功的人身上學(xué)到什么呢？第一要有需要創(chuàng)造性思維的方式；第二從事實(shí)中找出你的答案，而不是從對你將要找到的東西的期望開始。第三要有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)運(yùn)氣，從事實(shí)中找出你的答案，而不是從對你將要找到的東西的期望開始。 （1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù) Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves可知，比爾蓋茨和馬克扎克伯格喜歡自學(xué)，所以退學(xué)，故答案是A。 （2）主旨大意題，根據(jù)Find your answers from factsnot start with an expectation of what you will find. 可知，第二課主要說的是要從事實(shí)中找答案，故答案是A。 （3）邏輯推理題，根據(jù)第三顆主要說的是要有點(diǎn)運(yùn)氣，但是彗星67P上環(huán)境如何無人知道，成功與否無人知道，這就需要一點(diǎn)運(yùn)氣了，故答案是C。 （4）標(biāo)題判斷題，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，這三課都是從成功那里學(xué)到的，也是為了成功，故答案是B。 【點(diǎn)評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題、邏輯推理題、標(biāo)題判斷題和主旨大意題。細(xì)節(jié)理解題要可以直接從文中尋找答案；文章出處題需要根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容確定其來源；邏輯推理題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息；標(biāo)題判斷題需要在充分理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上，總結(jié)中心思想，凝練句式，最終確定答案；主旨題需要通讀全文，了解大意之后找出中心思想。8．閱讀理解 There are few families in the United States that do not have either a radio or a television set. Both of them have bee necessary parts of our daily life, keeping us Americans filled with the news of the day, teaching us in many fields of interest, and making us happy with singing, dancing and acting. Marconi, the Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn39。t know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to e. Radio had, perhaps done as much as any other munication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few secon
