Question

阅读理解 　　Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did fool's experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish? 　　Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution(解决办法)to a problem．Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important． 　　Charles Darwin didn't settle for(满足于)just thinking he knew something．And he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be． 　　Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shapes．If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way．Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight(紧的)little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets．What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn't be worth anything． 　　But this simple experiment is important．It explains part of our present day understandings of physics, ideas that were worked out long age by Galileo and Newton．And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics． 　　Scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them．Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science． (1) The passage tells us that Charles Darwin ________． [　　] A． was a great English scientist B． always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult C． thought even the simplest thing was important D． didn't get well with others (2) The phrase“set aside”most probably means ________． [　　] A． throw away B． store up C． put to use D． realize (3) The author of the passage tries to ________． [　　] A． convince us that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world B． draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things C． prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speed D． draw our attention to everyday happenings around us (4) Which one of the following is TRUE? [　　] A． Darwin really did fool's experiments． B． According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments． C． It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple． D． Galieo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics．

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．A;3．D;4．B;
提示：

(1)	此题为细节理解题，由文章的第三段的第二句话可知该题的答案。
(2)	此题为词义推测题，根据上下文可知，本句的意思为：这些理解屏弃了古希腊物理学家的一些观点。B“储存”；C“把……付之应用”；D“实现”；只有A“扔掉”符合此意。
(3)	此题为推理判断题，由文章的最后一段可知，作者通过科学家有时候就是对非常简单的事情进行认真的观察和深刻的思考而作出一些重要的发现告诉我们要多注意周围发生的事情。
(4)	此题为综合判断题。由文章的第一、三段可知，C项中by all the people不对，由文章的倒数第二段可知伽利略和牛顿屏弃了古希腊的物理而不是解出，因此D项错误。由文章的第一段第一句话可知有些人认为达尔文做了一些愚蠢的实验，而疑问形式的句子则说明事实不是如此，因此A项错误。
