I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. A newspaper reporter him why he was able to be so much more than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?

He that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!

When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and mess you have made! I have seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？”

Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵)，a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer？” He chose the sponge and together they up the spilled milk.

His mother then said，“You know，what we have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two hands. Let's go out in/span> the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can a way to carry it without dropping it. ”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the near the lip with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful !

This scientist then remarked it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be to make mistakes. Instead, he knew that mistakes were just for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific are all about．Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually something valuable.

【解析】当记者采访一位富有创造性的杰出科学家为什么他与众不同时，这位科学家说这一切源于2岁时妈妈给他上的一课，从中我们可以意识到孩提时代的教育方法的重要性。

【1】A 考查动词。根据下文“a newspaper reporter”可知记者是在采访他，故选A interviewed“采访”。questioned“质问”；introduced“介绍”；considered“考虑；认为”。

【2】B 考查形容词。根据第一句话中“had made several very important medical breakthroughs”可知，这位科学家做出了许多突破，因此是很有创造力的，故选B项creative“有创造力的”。clever“聪明的”；lively“活泼的”；diligent“勤奋的”。

【3】D 考查动词。根据语境可知，此处科学家是在回答记者的问题，故选D项responded“回答”。declared“宣称”；required“要求”；informed“通知”。

【4】A 考查名词。根据该句中“a real sea of milk”可知小男孩(spilled)打翻了瓶子里的牛奶，故选A项contents“所含之物，内容”。materials“材料”；water“水”；color“颜色”。

【5】C 考查动词。根据下文妈妈的反应可知，妈妈并没有生气，故选C项yell at“对……大吼大叫”。smiling “微笑”；staring“盯着某人看（不礼貌的）”；speaking“说话”。

【6】A 考查形容词。根据前文的great和下文中的“such a huge lake of milk”可知，母亲是在夸奖自己的儿子，故选A项wonderful“极好的，精彩的，绝妙的”。terrible“可怕的”；beautiful“美丽的”；awful“糟糕的；可怕的”。

【7】B 考查副词。根据语境可知妈妈夸奖儿子打翻牛奶在地上形成了“小湖”，这种情况是很少见的。故选B项rarely“罕见的”。usually“经常地”；generally“一般地”；gradually“逐渐地”。

【8】C考查名词。根据上文可知儿子把牛奶打翻了一地，造成了“破坏（损失）”，故选C项。danger“危险”；impression“印象”；scene“场景”。

【9】A 考查连接副词。该空引导后面的状语从句，其余三项均不符合句意。根据句意可知，妈妈在教导儿子说：“记住，无论何时你犯了类似的错误……”。故选A项whenever“无论何时”。wherever“无论何地” ； however“无论多么”；whatever“无论什么”。

【10】B 考查动词。由该空后的“to its proper order”可知，此处意为“把东西恢复到原来的位置”。B项restore“修复，恢复”符合句意。replace“代替”；repair“修理”；remain“依然，留待”。

【11】A 考查动词。由上文中的“clear it up”及“We could use a sponge or a towel”可知，儿子和妈妈一起把地上的牛奶清理干净。故选A项clear“清理”。took“拿走”；gathered“聚集”；made“制造”。

【12】C 考查副词。这里是指如何有效地抓住一个大的牛奶瓶，以防止它掉落。故选C项effectively“有效地”。meaningfully“有意义地”；beautifully“美丽地”；professionally“职业地”。

【13】D 考查形容词。这里指的是儿子的手，应为小手（tiny hand），故选D项tiny“极小的”，与big形成对比。full“充满的”；empty“空的”；huge“巨大的”。

【14】A 考查动词搭配。根据后文内容可知，这里考查动词惯用搭配discover a way to do sth.“找到做某事的方法”,故选A项discover“发现”。B. create“创作;产生”；think“认为”；observe“观察”。

【15】B 考查名词。由该空后的“near the lip”可知，应该是抓住瓶口，故选B项top“顶部”。bottom“底部”； middle“中部”；end“末尾”。

【16】C 考查名词。根据上文“The little boy learned that if he…”可知，此处要表达的意思是“多么精彩的一课！”，排除B、D两项，而A项lecture一般指学术性的讲座或课堂。故选C项lesson“经验，教训”。lecture “讲座，训斥”；performance“表演，表现”；sight“视野”。

【17】A 考查形容词。根据下文“Instead, he learned…”可知，此处表示科学家意识到了不要害怕犯错，故选A项afraid“害怕的”。 awake“醒着的”；awkward“令人尴尬的，笨拙的”；horrified“恐怖的”。

【18】D 考查名词。联系上下文可知，有时候犯错也是学到新东西的好机会，故选D项opportunities“机会”。conditions“条件”；situations“形势，局面”；equipment“设备”。

【20】A 考查动词。此处与上文中的“learning something new”相对应，意为“我们经常能从中学到有价值的东西”，故选A项learn“学到”。know “知道”；find“找到，发现”；see“看到，理解”。
