(35-38每题2分，39题4分共12分) Read and answer the questions. An important discovery: accident or necessity? How do great discoveries happen in history? Are they just lucky accidents, or are they the results of long and hard work? Let’s think about this interesting question. Sometimes, discoveries happen completely by accident. A famous example is the discovery of penicillin, a very important medicine. A scientist named Alexander Fleming was studying bacteria in his laboratory. One day, he found that some mould had grown on one of his dishes by chance. To his surprise, the bacteria around the mould were all dead! He didn’t plan for this to happen, but because he was observant, he realized its importance. This lucky accident led to the invention of penicillin, which has saved many lives. On the other hand, many discoveries are not accidental at all. They are the results of many years of careful research and effort. For example, the discovery of the element Radium by Marie Curie was not a matter of luck. She and her husband worked in a small, poor laboratory for four years. They tested tons of a mineral called pitchblende (沥青铀矿). It was very hard and tiring work. Finally, through their great effort and patience, they succeeded in discovering this new element. This discovery definitely came from necessity, not from an accident. So, which one is more important? In fact, both are important. An accidental discovery needs a prepared mind to see its value. Similarly, a discovery from hard work often meets small accidents or unexpected results during the research process, which can help the scientists move forward. Therefore, we can say that chance favors only the prepared mind. 35. How did Fleming feel when he found the bacteria around the mould were all dead? ____________________________________________ 36. How long did it take Marie Curie and her husband to discover Radium? ____________________________________________ 37. Was the discovery of Radium a quick and easy process? ____________________________________________ 38. According to the passage, what is needed to see the value of an accidental discovery? ____________________________________________ 39. Suppose another scientist, Dr. Wilson, was working on an experiment when he noticed something unexpected. Complete the paragraph below to continue the story, using the idea from the passage. (Use your own words no more than 30 words.) 假设另一位科学家威尔逊博士正在做实验，这时他发现了意想不到的情况，利用文章中的观点，续写下面的段落，完成这个故事。（用自己的话作答，不超过30词) While studying plant growth, Dr. Wilson accidentally spilled a new chemical on one of the plants. To his surprise, _______________________________________________________ 【答案】35. He felt surprised./Surprised. 36. It took them four years./Four years. 37. No, it wasn’t. 38. A prepared mind is needed to see the value of an accidental discovery. 39. the plant grew faster. He didn’t ignore it but studied it carefully. Finally, he discovered a new way to help plants grow.（答案不唯一） 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要通过青霉素和镭的发现过程，探讨了科学发现中“偶然”与“必然”的关系，阐述了“机会总是留给有准备的人”这一深刻道理。 【35题详解】 第二段提到弗莱明发现霉菌周围的细菌全部死亡时：“To his surprise, the bacteria around the mould were all dead!”。文中“surprise”一词直接描述了他的心理状态，即感到很惊讶。 【36题详解】 第三段明确指出居里夫妇为了发现镭：“worked in a small, poor laboratory for four years.”。这是原文中具体的年限信息，直接提取即可。 【37题详解】 第三段明确指出镭的发现过程：“It was very hard and tiring work.”。这说明该过程充满了艰辛与疲劳，并非快速或容易的。 【38题详解】 最后一段提到：“An accidental discovery needs a prepared mind to see its value.”。这直接指出了发现偶然机会背后的价值所必备的条件，即有准备的头脑。 【39题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。需基于文末核心观点：“…chance favors only the prepared mind.”。威尔逊博士应当像文中的科学家一样，利用其“有准备的头脑”去关注并研究那个“意想不到的情况”，从而产生新的科学发现。合理作答即可。 Ⅱ.

An important discovery: accident or necessity? How do great discoveries happen in history? Are they just lucky accidents, or are they the results of long and hard work? Let’s think about this interesting question. Sometimes, discoveries happen completely by accident. A famous example is the discovery of penicillin, a very important medicine. A scientist named Alexander Fleming was studying bacteria in his laboratory. One day, he found that some mould had grown on one of his dishes by chance. To his surprise, the bacteria around the mould were all dead! He didn’t plan for this to happen, but because he was observant, he realized its importance. This lucky accident led to the invention of penicillin, which has saved many lives. On the other hand, many discoveries are not accidental at all. They are the results of many years of careful research and effort. For example, the discovery of the element Radium by Marie Curie was not a matter of luck. She and her husband worked in a small, poor laboratory for four years. They tested tons of a mineral called pitchblende (沥青铀矿). It was very hard and tiring work. Finally, through their great effort and patience, they succeeded in discovering this new element. This discovery definitely came from necessity, not from an accident. So, which one is more important? In fact, both are important. An accidental discovery needs a prepared mind to see its value. Similarly, a discovery from hard work often meets small accidents or unexpected results during the research process, which can help the scientists move forward. Therefore, we can say that chance favors only the prepared mind. 35. How did Fleming feel when he found the bacteria around the mould were all dead? ____________________________________________ 36.
