Question

I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs.What set him so far apart from others?
He1that, in his opinion, it all came from an2from his mother that happened when he was about 2 years old.He had been trying to3a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his4on the slippery bottle and it5, making its contents pouring all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of6at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said: “Robert, what a7and wonderful mess you have made! I have8seen such a huge pool of milk.Well, the damage has already been done.Would you like to9down and play in the milk for a few minutes10we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did.After a few minutes, his mother said: “You know, Robert,11you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and12everything to its proper order.So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵), a towel, or a mop.Which do you13?” He chose the sponge and together they14the milk.
His mother then said: “You know, what happened just now is a15experiment in how effectively to carry a big milk bottle with two16hands.Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can17 a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy18that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.
This scientist then19that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make20.
Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert’s mother responded to him?

Answer 1

CADAA CBDBC DBBAC ABDCA
究竟是什么妙法使这位科学家能够超越凡人呢？他说，在他看来，这一切都应与他两岁时母亲对发生在他身上的事的处理方法有关。由此母亲激发了他的创造力并教会他不必再害怕犯任何错误，因为错误往往是学习新知识的良机。
1.考查动词。此处是对What set him so far apart from others的回答。
2.考查名词。下文是这位科学家讲的自己的一段经历。
3.考查动词。remove…from…从…中移开[拿走， 除掉]。
4.考查名词。结合下文牛奶瓶掉在地上知她没有抓住。lose hold of 失去对……的掌握；没抓住……。
5.考查动词。牛奶瓶掉在地上。
6.考查动词。母亲没有因他把牛奶散了而生气的朝他叫喊。
7.考查形容词。结合后面的and wonderful可知此处应是褒义词。
8.考查副词。rarely很少地。
9.考查动词。　get down开始做某事，get down and play＝get down to playing。
10.考查连词。从文章的下一段可知。
11.考查连词。无论何时你搞得像现在一团糟，最后你都要收拾干净，把一切都恢复到合适的状态。

17.考查动词。discover a way找到一个办法。
18.考查动词。结合上下文可知“他在mother的指导下学会”如何用他的小手拿紧奶瓶。
