Nick Woodman is well known as the founder of GoPro,a camera designed primarily to help
sports activity lovers get close-up videos.The camera is frequently.used in water sports,
skydiving,biking,etc,and can also be used as a general video camera.
高二年级教学质量调查(一)英语试卷第8页(共14页)
Nick was born in 1975 and raised in California,where he attended university and finished
his degree in visual arts.GoPro wasn't his first business attempt,and the first was
Empowerall.com,a website selling digital items.The second one was Funbug,a gaming platform
that allowed people the chance to win cash prizes.Unfortunately,they were both failures,but
they gave Nick the experience he needed to succeed with GoPro.
During his surf tour in Australia and Indonesia,Nick attached a small 35mm camera to his
hand using a rubber band (to take his videos while surfing.At that time,many extreme
sports lovers like Nick were not professional photographers and wanted to take clear recordings
of their sports activities,but they could not get close enough to the action or were unable to buy
proper equipment at affordable prices and that was where Nick's inspiration came for GoPro.
Nick's idea was to create a belt that the camera could be attached to,so users could connect the
camera to their body.
The first designs of the camera focused on wrist (cameras which would be very useful
for anyone wishing to shoot while using both hands.GoPro cameras have now become a
phenomenon for anybody who is into sports or traveling,and in addition to wrist straps ()
they also offer head straps,chest belts,and poles that can be lengthened.You name it.
As a surfing lover,Nick traveled around the world to surf,so he saw a need in the market
for easy-to-use cameras for sporting activities,and he came up with this idea by simply doing
what he likes doing and knowing what people with similar interests would want.

A.He achieved success by chance.
B.He is tough and strong-minded.

The well-known saying,"Necessity is the mother of invention,"expresses a belief widely
held in our society.It suggests that pressing needs directly inspire creative solutions,and history
does offer some support for this view.Eli Whitney's 1794 cotton gin,for example,efficiently
met the urgent need to clean cotton in the American South,seeming to confirm this principle
perfectly.
However,such straightforward examples can be misleading.They tempt us to assume that
all major inventions were direct responses to obvious needs.In truth,the reverse is frequently
高二年级教学质量调查(一)英语试卷第10页(共14页)
the case:invention itself is the mother of necessity.The driving force behind most important
breakthroughs has typically not been clear market demand,but rather human curiosity and a
simple love of tinkering(摆弄,动手做).More often than.not,a new device is created first
through experimental work;only afterward does its inventor begin searching for practical
applications.Consumers,in turn,often only gradually come to realise they "need"the new
technology long after its initial development.
The history of the automobile provides a particularly illuminating case study.When
Nikolaus Otto built his first gas engine in 1866,it was notoriously clumsy,inefficient,and
physically enormous.Decades later,when the first truck was developed,it entered a
transportation landscape dominated by horse-drawn wagons and steam-powered railways.The
general public showed little interest in this novel "horseless carriage"and remained largely
content with existing options.It was not until World War I,when military strategists recognised
the truck's strategic advantages,that these vehicles became established as essential equipment,
eventually replacing horse-drawn transport in industrialised nations.
This pattern of innovation-before-demand persists because early prototypes are often too
crude and impractical to be immediately useful.The first cameras,typewriters,and television
sets were initially unpromising as Otto's seven-foot-tall gas engine.This inherent uncertainty
makes the inventor's path particularly challenging,requiring extraordinary persistence to
continue refining a device that shows no immediate market potential.Furthermore,even those
rare inventions that are designed for specific needs often find their most important applications
in completely unexpected areas.While James Watt originally developed his steam engine to
pump water from mines,its true revolutionary impact emerged when it began powering cotton
mills and later propelling trains and steamboats-applications far beyond its original purpose.
Therefore,while pressing needs can occasionally inspire new solutions,the deeper engine
of human creativity,driven primarily by curiosity and experimentation,more often serves as the
高二年级教学质量调查(一)英语试卷第11页(共14页)
true wellspring of invention.These curiosity-driven innovations ultimately create their own
demand,progressively reshaping our world in ways no one could have initially predicted,and
demonstrating how invention frequently precedes and creates necessity rather than merely
responding to it.
56 Why does the writer mention Eli Whitney dn Paragraph 1?
A.To clarify a doubt.
B.To illustrate a view.
C.To introduce the topic.
D.To evaluate a statement.
57.What is the author's main argumend?
A.Necessity drives most innovations.
B.Inventions often create new demands.
C.Curiosity is secondary to market needs.
D.Historical examples are always misleading.
58.What contributed to the popularity of motor vehicles?
A.Creative designs.
B.Powerful engines.
C.Military demands.
D.Public satisfaction.
59.What does Watt's steam engine example illustrate?
A.Original purposes are rarely met.
B.Inventions always have multiple uses.
C.Inventions may find unexpected applications.
D.Engineering breakthroughs are crucial for progress.
60.What is the best title for this passage?
A.Social Need:the Inner Drive for Invention
B.Great Invention:the Force of Society's Progress
C.General Application:the Final Purpose of Invention
D.Beyond Necessity:the Curious Pursuit of Invention

阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I was born legally blind:Of all the stories of my early childhood,the one about a tree is my
mother's favorite.
I was only two when the incident occurred.We had just arrived home from a trip.Mom
lifted me out of the car and turned to speak to the driver.I took advantage of my brief freedom
to zoom across the lawn and hit a large maple tree!I was running so fast that I bounced off the
trunk and landed on my backside.Mom expected me to start crying but I just sat there for a
minute.Then I picked myself up and kept right on going.Mom always adds here that,as many
times as I zoomed across the lawn after that,I never again crashed into that tree.
Mom loves to use this story as an example.It reminds her that children don't enter life afraid
to take risks or unwilling to try again when they fall down.She never wanted me to lose that
toughness as I grew older.When I made my major life decisions,I was still that little girl tearing
(full-speed across the lawn I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents'home
to look for a job.Through years of efforts,I have become a respected teacher in a school serving
high-need students.
We are almost certain to get knocked down at some point during the process of achieving
our goal.When that happens,don't sit in the grass and cry.Just get up and keep on going.It will
all be worth it in the end.
