He was drawn to electricity and had a deep curiosity about its nature. He did lots of research to try 5_____________(understand) it. For example, he flew a kite during a storm.

He spent years 10____________(study) the sky and the earth. 11_____________(final) , he drew China's first star map, and invented the first earthquake detector. His curiosity continues to influence scientists today. 5 As Jacques Cousteau said, "What is a 12_____________(science) after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on." Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us 13_____________(discover) a new world. 2、 单选 The Power of a Small Dream Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors in history, held over 1,000 inventions.

A 3D printer, one of the great inventions, is like a magical machine. It can make objects into real things from computer designs. What is more amazing, two young scientists made a special 3D food printer in Qatar. It can use bits of vegetables to create food! These smart students, Annan and Mansoori, are students at Carnegie Mellon University in Doha. To make the 3D carrot, they first used very small parts of a real carrot and made lots of them in a science lab. Then they used these tiny parts like ink (墨水) in their printer to make the carrot. By using vegetable cells (细胞) and ultraviolet (紫外线) (UV) , a new carrot is printed. UV light is a kind of energy that helps stick the carrot bits together. The invention may help with food safety. They chose carrots in the test because scientists knew a lot about how carrot parts grew into plants. Mansoori said 3D-printed food can be made cheaply. It doesn’t require large areas of land. It also does not require maintenance (维护) costs. 3D-printed carrots are cheaper than real carrots. Today, 733 million people are facing hunger. Mansoori hopes 3D printers will be used in restaurants, supermarkets, and hospitals. The purpose, she said, is to make food reachable to people all over the world. 24．What can the special 3D food printer do? 25．Where do Annan and Mansoori study? 26．How is a new carrot printed? 27．Why did they choose carrots in the test? 28．What is the purpose of the invention of 3D food printers? 4、 短语 29. 新发明_________________________30. 做研究 _________________________ 31. 特殊才能_______________________32. 被吸引______________________ 33. 对……深感好奇________________34. 放风筝 _________________ 35. 暴风雨期间____________________36. 引导某人至________________ 37. 保护某物免受……______________38. 太空探索的先驱_______________ 5、 句子 39.我没有特殊才能。我只是内心充满好奇。 _____________________________________________________________________ 40.他的好奇心促使他发明了避雷针。 _____________________________________________________________________ 41.这项发明可以保护建筑物免受雷击。 _____________________________________________________________________ 42.它还推动人们朝着某些目标前进。 _____________________________________________________________________ 43.他的好奇心继续影响着今天的科学家。 _____________________________________________________________________ 答案 一、 1. said 2.curious 3. inventions 4. impossible 5. to understand 6. from 7. exploration 8.texting 9. from 10. studying 11.
