阅读理解短文
If you have ever seen a snowflake design on jewelry or a bag,chances are it was based on one
of Wilson Bentley's more than 5,000 photomicrographs of snow crystals().At first,though,
Bentley did not have any way to share his enjoyment of the delicate hexagons ()other than
to draw them.He spent hours outside or inside his unheated storeroom with a microscope.He
would pick up a snow crystal and transfer it to a microscope slide.There,he flattened it with a
bird feather.Then,holding his breath,he observed the crystal and hurried to draw what he saw
before it turned forever into thin air.
A few years later,Bentley began his pursuit to photograph a snow crystal.He attached a
microscope to a camera.Time after time,his negatives appeared blank.The following winter,he
finally figured out that too much light was reaching the camera.His solution was to place a metal
plate with a tiny hole in the center beneath the stage of the microscope.It cut down the stray(
light and allowed only the light waves carrying the image to reach the camera.On January
15,1885,at the age of 19,Bentley finally photographed a snowflake!He spent many hours over the
next 45 years in his tiny darkroom developing negatives.
Bentley lived his entire life on his childhood farm.He farmed for a living.To his friends and
family,he was kind,gentle,and funny "Willie".But to scientists,he was the untrained researcher
who became a snow crystal pioneer.He wrote for science journals.He not only photographed snow
crystals but also became an authority on dew ()and frost.He kept a detailed daily log of local
weather conditions throughout his life.He developed a method to measure the size of raindrops
too.
Bentley never made more than a few thousand dollars from his work.It had been a labor of
love,and he was satisfied to be able to share the beauty of his snow crystals with the world.And
today,he is remembered as Snowflake Bentley.

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:24-27CCDC
5
1.C (To share his pleasure.)
考点:细节理解题
语境:文中明确提到”At first,though,Bentley did not have any way to share his enjoyment of
the delicate hexagons other than to draw them.”,说明他最初没有其他方式分享对雪花晶体的
喜爱,只能通过绘画。
辨析:A选项”设计产品”文中未提及:B选项”成为艺术家”无依据:C选项”分享他的乐趣”
与”share his enjoyment”直接对应;D选项”研究天气”是后来的行为,并非最初绘画的原因。
2.C (turned down the light)
考点:细节理解题
语境:文中提到"he finally figured out that too much light was reaching the camera.His solution
was to place a metal plate with a tiny hole in the center beneath the stage of the microscope.
It cut down the stray light..”,即他发现光线过多,解决方案是减少杂散光线。
辨析:A选项”改进显微镜”不准确,他只是在显微镜载物台下放置金属板,并非改进显微镜
本身;B选项”更换底片”文中未提及;C选项”调暗光线”与”cut down the stray light”意思
一致;D选项”发明相机”错误,他是将显微镜连接到相机,并非发明相机。
3.D (He was not only an artist but also a scientist.)
考点:推理判断题
语境:文中提到他拍摄雪花晶体(艺术层面),同时"wrote for science journals”became an
authority on dew and frost""kept a detailed daily log of local weather conditions""developed a
method to measure the size of raindrops”(科学研究层面)。
辨析:A选项”成功但无聊的生活”错误,文中说他生活在农场,工作是"labor of love'”,并非
无聊;B选项”因缺乏训练被嘲笑”文中未提及;C选项”从照片中赚了很多钱”与”never made
more than a few thousand dollars'”不符;D选项”既是艺术家也是科学家”符合他在艺术和科
学领域的双重贡献。
4.C (Love and devotion makes a person.)
考点:主旨大意题
语境:全文围绕Bentley对雪花晶体的热爱展开,他将毕生精力投入其中,尽管收入微薄,
但”satisfied to be able to share the beauty”,最终被铭记为"Snowflake Bentley”。
辨析:A选项”熟能生巧”强调练习,文中未突出;B选项”智力是成功的关键”未体现;C选
项”热爱与奉献成就人”符合他因热爱而投入,最终被认可的主旨:D选项”机会留给有准备的
人”文中未强调机会因素,而是强调热爱和坚持。
