题目内容
1.The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it!Perhaps this sounds crazy,but it's true.Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing,so read on to discover the truth.Wrong idea No.1:An invention has to be something completely new.
Inventing means creating something"new",but the idea could come from something that already exists(存在).The Wright brothers,for example,got the idea for building a"flying machine"from watching birds.
Wrong idea No.2:Inventors are born,not made.
There are a lot of factors(因素) that make invention possible.Take Mazart,for example.He was born with a talent for musical composition.But other factors were also important for his creativity.His father was a music teacher,and Mozart practiced for hours every day,from the time he was four years old.Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was"99% hard work and 1% inspiration"!
Very successful creators don't give up when they get something wrong.As one inventor said,"A failure is the right answer to the wrong question."
Wrong idea No.3:Inventors are always old people.
Don't believe that you can't invent something when you are young.Here are two examples of young inventors:Louis Braille went blind when he was a child.When he was fifteen,he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
As a young man,George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show.He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again.This gave him an idea,and he invented the trampoline(蹦床).

分析 翻译:关于发明的最大秘密是任何人都可以做到!也许这听起来很疯狂,但这是真的,关于发明也许你有错误的想法,所以继续读下去发现真相.
错误的观点一:发明必须是完全新的东西.
发明意味着创造的东西"新",但这个想法可能来自于已经存在的东西.例如,莱特兄弟,从看鸟得到发明"飞机"的想法.
错误观点二:发明者是天生的,不是后天形成的.
有很多因素使发明成为可能.以莫扎特为例.他出生就有音乐创作天赋.但其他因素对他的创作能力也很重要,他的父亲是一位音乐老师,从他四岁的时候,莫扎特每天练习几个小时,托马斯爱迪生说,一个发明家是"99%的努力加1%的灵感"!
当他们有问题的时候,非常成功的创造者不会放弃,正如一位发明家说:"失败是错误问题的正确答案."
错误的观点三:发明家总是老人.
不要相信你在年轻时就不能创造东西,这里有两个年轻发明家的例子:当Louis Braille还是个孩子的时候,他就失明了.当他十五岁的时候,他为盲人的阅读和书写发明了一种系统,现在在大多数国家仍然使用.作为一个年轻人,乔治尼森正在看一些艺术家表演.他看着他们掉进了安全网,然后又跳了起来.这让他有了一个主意,他发明了蹦床.
解答 53.D 细节理解题.根据The Wright brothers,for example,got the idea for building a"flying machine"from watching birds.可知莱特兄弟,从看鸟得到发明"飞机"的想法.故选D.
54.C 词义猜测题.据He was born with a talent for musical composition.But other factors were also important for his creativity.His father was a music teacher,and Mozart practiced for hours every day,from the time he was four years old.Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was"99% hard work and 1% inspiration可知talent理解为天赋,故选C.
55.A 细节理解题.据短文可知B,C,D是错误的观点,故选:A.
56.D 主旨大意题.据短文大意可知本文主要讲如何成为发明家,故选:D.
