I like to know the person around me. Do Jingdong and Taobao send feelings and relationships between people, too?” I didn’t know what to say after hearing his words. My dad was right, of course.

Perhaps this sounds crazy but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the truth. Wrong idea No. 1: An invention has to be something completely new. Inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists (存在). The Wright brothers, got the idea of building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea No. 2: Inventors are born, not made. There are a lot of factors (因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a talent for music. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practised for hours every day. Very successful creators don’t give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.” Wrong idea No. 3: Inventors are always old people. Don’t believe that you can’t invent something when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today. As a young man, George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea, and he invented the trampoline (蹦床). 26. How did the Wright brothers get the idea of building a “flying machine”? A. By accident. B. By watching birds. C. By reading books about flying. D. By studying other inventors’ products. 27. What is important for Mozart’s creativity except for his talent for music? A. Being a music teacher. B. Failing from time to time. C. Making friends with Edison. D. Practising for hours every day. 28. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means ________. A. We should always ask the right question B. Don’t be afraid of failure in the inventing process C. We should try different ways to solve a problem D. Failure is always the answer to any question 29. Why are Louis Braille and George Nissen mentioned in the passage? A. To introduce two useful inventions. B. To show that young people can also invent. C. To tell us how to become successful inventors. D. To explain that blindness doesn’t prevent invention. 30. What’s the writer’s opinion about inventing? A Anybody can be an inventor. B. Inventors are born with special talents. C. It’s impossible for the young to be inventors. D. An invention has to be something completely new. 【答案】26. B 27. D 28. B 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了关于发明的三个常见误解。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Wright brothers, got the idea of building a ‘flying machine’ from watching birds.”可知，莱特兄弟是通过观察鸟类得到建造“飞行器”的灵感的，故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practised for hours every day.”可知，莫扎特的创造力除了音乐天赋外，每天的长期练习也很重要，故选D。 【28题详解】 句意猜测题。画线句子“A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.”意为“失败是对错误问题的正确回答。”结合上下文可知这是在告诉我们在发明过程中不要害怕失败，故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Louis Braille went blind when he was a child…George Nissen…invented the trampoline…”可知作者提到他们是为了说明年轻人也能搞发明，故选B。 【30题详解】 观点态度题。根据“The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it!”可知，作者认为人人都能成为发明家，故选A。 第二节（共1小题, 每小题10分, 满分10分） 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Procrastination (拖延症) is a way of thinking that lets one put off doing something that should be done now.

Everything will be easier!” I said excitedly. He asked, “If I do that, I won’t have to go out of the house?” “Yes!” I said. I told him how they can deliver the food and clothes to our doors now. And we can buy everything we need by just staying at home. However, he said, “Since I walked into this bank today, I have met four of my friends. I have much free time, so I like to come to the bank and meet different people. Two years ago, when I was in hospital, the store owner from whom I bought fruit came to see me. And when your mom fell down a few years ago, the bank manager saw her and helped her get to the hospital.” He went on, “Why would I want to look at my computer all the time? I like to know the person around me. Do Jingdong and Taobao send feelings and relationships between people, too?” I didn’t know what to say after hearing his words. My dad was right, of course.

Shopping Online: A New Way of Life The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the truth. Wrong idea No. 1: An invention has to be something completely new. Inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists (存在). The Wright brothers, got the idea of building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea No. 2: Inventors are born, not made. There are a lot of factors (因素) that make invention possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a talent for music. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practised for hours every day. Very successful creators don’t give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure was the right answer to the wrong question.” Wrong idea No. 3: Inventors are always old people. Don’t believe that you can’t invent something when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today. As a young man, George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea, and he invented the trampoline (蹦床). 26. How did the Wright brothers get the idea of building a “flying machine”? A. By accident. B. By watching birds. C. By reading books about flying. D. By studying other inventors’ products. 27. What is important for Mozart’s creativity except for his talent for music? A. Being a music teacher. B. Failing from time to time. C Making friends with Edison. D. Practising for hours every day. 28. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means ________. A. We should always ask the right question B. Don’t be afraid of failure in the inventing process C. We should try different ways to solve a problem D. Failure is always the answer to any question 29. Why are Louis Braille and George Nissen mentioned in the passage? A. To introduce two useful inventions. B. To show that young people can also invent. C. To tell us how to become successful inventors. D. To explain that blindness doesn’t prevent invention. 30. What’s the writer’s opinion about inventing? A. Anybody can be an inventor. B. Inventors are born with special talents. C It’s impossible for the young to be inventors. D. An invention has to be something completely new. 第二节（共1小题, 每小题10分, 满分10分） 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Procrastination (拖延症) is a way of thinking that lets one put off doing something that should be done now.

Just at that time, it noticed some birds coming above the field. “We are hungry!” they shouted. The little weed felt sorry for the poor birds and called out to them, “Hey! Down here! I have pods (豆荚) that you can eat!” “You’re so kind!” The birds ate up the seeds (种子) in the pods thankfully. “They’re delicious.
