37、ntists who are known for their hard work are more motivating (激励人的) than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.In a series of studies,researchers found that young people were more motivated by scientists whose success was connected with effort than those whose success was because of born

43、light bulb,and his success is usually linked to his effort.” Hu added,“Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and effort,more students will step into science confidently.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了依靠勤奋和努力成功的科学家比天才型科学家更鼓舞人心的观念。12What kind of scientists are more motivating?AThose who
44、 are famous around the world.BThose who are famous for their hard work.CThose who are viewed as naturally brilliant.DThose who are viewed as great in venture.B细节理解题。根据第一段“but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more motivating than scientists who are viewed as
45、 naturally brilliant”可知,那些以努力工作而闻名的科学家比那些天生才华横溢的科学家更能激励人心。故选B项。13What is the concern in the science community?AFewer students will work on science.BThe students will drop out of school soon.CThere are fewer role models for students to follow.DSome scientists can not give students specific goals.A细节理
46、解题。根据第四段“there is concern in the science community with the number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out from those career paths once they graduate from college”可知,很多在校期间追求科学事业的学生,大学毕业后就放弃了从事科学事业。也就是说从事科学事业的学生会更少,这正是科学界所担忧的事情。故选A项。14Why were some participants mo
47、tivated to complete a series of math problems?AThey knew the problems were given by Edison.BThey believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.CThey believed they could solve the problems by working hard.DThey knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.C细节理解题。根据第五段“In addition,the part
48、icipants who believed the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of math problems.”可知,参与者完成数学题是受到爱迪生的鼓舞。再根据最后一段“Edison,on the other hand,is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb,and his success is usually linked to his effort.”可知,爱迪生在尝试
49、制造灯泡时失败了1 000多次,他的成功通常与他的努力有关。综合上述可知,这些相信爱迪生故事的参与者们相信通过努力工作可以解决问题,所以才有动力去完成一系列数学题。故选C项。15What is the best title for the text?AEinsteins Success StoryBEdisons Achievements Are GreaterCHow to Be a Great ScientistDEinstein Is Less Encouraging Than EdisonD标题归纳题。根据文章内容及文章第一段“scientists who are known for
50、their hard work are more motivating than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant”可知,文章主要阐述的是那些以努力工作而闻名的科学家比那些天生才华横溢的科学家更能激励人心。D项“Einstein Is Less Encouraging Than Edison”中的Einstein代指天生才华横溢的科学家,Edison代指以努力工作而闻名的科学家,意为“天生才华横溢的科学家没有以努力工作而闻名的科学家鼓舞人心”,能够表达文章主旨。故选D项。第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分
