What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldn't we know who they are? Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”， however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why”and“how”questions. According to McLean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.” Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention, ”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer. So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a builtin device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama. Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 became the first windshield wiper. Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses? 16. By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”， the author indicates that countless inventions are________. A．beneficial, because their inventors are famous B．beneficial, though their inventors are less famous C．not useful, because their inventors are less famous D．not useful, though their inventors are famous 17. Professor Joan McLean's course aims to________. A．add colour and variety to students' campus life B．inform students of the windshield wiper's invention C．carry out the requirements by Mountain University D．prepare students to try their own inventions 18. Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was________. A．not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer B．inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper C．due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm D．not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures 19. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage? A．How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers? B．How to Design a Builtin Device for Cleaning the Window? C．Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper? D．Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities? B Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero. That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family out from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life? Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave”. As I read on, it also said “a person who is good and noble ”． That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local WalMart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed me by, I said, “How are you today？” Most of the time that would be no big deal, but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 Having been near “the end of my rope”， after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero. Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor. 20．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. Why Should You Be a Hero? B．What Exactly Is a Hero? C．I Am a Hero D．Everyone Is a Hero 21. From the first paragraph we know that ________． A. the woman was just the one from the family I pulled out B．one of my stories prevented the woman's son from ending his life C．the woman couldn't help crying because I had saved her life D．the writer was called a hero who had saved a family from an accident 22. The underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 4 means the behavior that is ________． A. polite and respectful B．brave and fearless C．smart and considerate D．cute and kind 23. After the writer got divorced, ________． A．he devoted all his life to helping the poor B．he led a very happy life C．he led an extremely unhappy and uncomfortable life D．he found much pleasure in supporting the homeless 24. According to this passage, which of the following can be considered as the behavior of a hero? A. Holding a door open for someone. B．Sending someone a wonderful card. C．Keeping writing stories for children. D．Being kind to someone who has a hard time. 课时作业(十) Ⅰ.1.A 从语境看，句子讲述的是过去的事情，因此第一空要用一般过去时；第二空要 用形容词 delightful 作定语修饰 things，表示“令人愉快的事情”。 2．A 考查名词辨析。scene 情景，景象；view 风景，景色；scenery 自然风景(不可 数)；appearance 出现，外表。 3．A leave sb doing 意为“使某人处于某状态”，句中 leave 与句子主语之间是逻 辑上的被动关系，因此用 A。 4．B 考查动词用法。consider 表示“考虑”时，后面接名词或者动名词作宾语。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 5．B 考查动词词义辨析。tell 在此处表示“辨别，区别”。 6．D 考查介词短语辨析。in reality 事实上，实际上；in a word 总之；at last 最 后；as a result 结果。由题意知 D 项正确。 7．A 根据句意此处表示“活的兔子”。 live “活的”，只作定语，修饰动物。 alive 是表语形容词，表示“活着”，常作表语、补语及后置定语，不能作前置定语。lively 意 为“活泼的；热烈的”；lovely 意为“可爱的”。 8．C 考查非谓语动词。在回答特殊疑问句时经常用到省略的形式，因此此题解题的关 键就是要注意省略了什么，根据问题可以看出应是回答：I enjoy…most. enjoy 后面的宾 语要用动名词形式，因此选 C。 9．C 考查动词词义辨析。completely 完全地，说明大楼被彻底破坏了，所以选 C。 10．C 考查非谓语动词。本句中缺少主语，所以需要用动名词作主语。 11．A 考查名词辨析。句意：我们办公室有一个传统，当有人过生日的时候，他们会 带一个蛋糕来和大家一起分享。tradition“传统，惯例”，符合句意。balance 平衡；concern 担心，忧虑；relationship 关系。 12．A 考查动词短语辨析及非谓语动词。句意：这个针对青少年的节目在全国大受欢 迎。(be) aimed at 针对，(be) intended for/designed for 为……设计的，这三个动词词 组与主语之间都是被动关系，因此都要用过去分词的形式。只有 A 项符合句意。 13．B 考查动词短语辨析。make for 意为“走向， 前往”；make off 表示“匆忙离 开”，但是其后不能接宾语，故选 B。 14．A 考查非谓语动词。句意：玛丽不能帮忙打扫房间，因为她在忙着写作业。干扰 项 can't help doing 意为“禁不住做”，显然与句意不符。而根据从句内容可知，主句应 为“不能帮忙做……”，故选 A。 15．A What do you make of sth? 意为“你觉得……怎么样？” Ⅱ. A 我们了解著名人物及发明，如爱迪生的电灯和留声机，贝尔的电话等，但是又有多少人 知道红绿灯和雨刮器的发明者呢？ 16. B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段提到的“…the less famous inventors…the traffic light and the windshield wiper？”可知选项 B 正确。 17. D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“…students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”可知教授的目的，所以选择 D 项。 18. B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention…I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”可知 Tommy Lee 的发明是在雨刮器故事 的启迪下成功的，所以选择 B 项。 19. C 主旨大意题。纵观全文，特别是第一段指明了文章的主题，即我们应该了解雨 刮器和红绿灯背后的发明者的故事，故选 C 项。 B 本文讲述了作者从一些具体事件中对“英雄”二字的理解。 20．B 主旨大意题。全篇均体现作者对于“英雄”概念的理解。 21．B 细节理解题。妇女因为“我”救了她的儿子而向“我”道谢并称“我”为英雄。 suicide 虽为纲外词，但从下文来看不影响理解。 22．A 词义猜测题。主动为别的顾客开门体现一种很优雅的尊重，因此选 A 项。这是 作者对于“英雄”行为的具体理解。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 23．C 细节理解题。由短文的第五段可知，作者结束了二十年的婚姻生活后，几乎处 于崩溃的边缘。 24．D 推理判断题。从最后一段小结来看，英雄壮举从本质上体现的是善良和高尚， 而不是其余三个具体的行为。
