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
