Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of one of the country’s greatest machines was actually born in a log cabin,  1  to high school on horse back and without   2  of university degree(indeed, at age 14), thought of the idea of electronic television. In 1906 Farnsworth was born in a community near Beaver City, Utah,  3  by his grandfather.  4  he was 12, his family moved to a ranch (大牧場)in Rigby, Idaho, which was four miles from, the nearest high school,  5  necessitating(使成為必要)his daily horseback rides. Because he was interested in the electron and electricity, he persuaded his chemistry teacher, Justin Tolman, to give him   6  instruction and to allow him to listen to a senior course.

The death of his father forced him to leave at the end of his second year, but, as it   7  , at no great intellectual cost. There were, at the time, no more than a handful of men   8  the planet who could have understood Farnsworth’s idea for building an electronic television system, and it’s   9  that any of them were at this local community. One such man was Vladimir Zworykin who had moved to the US from Russia with a Ph. D in electrical engineering. He went to work for Westinghouse with a dream of building an all-electronic television system. But he wasn’t   10  to do so.

A. rode           B. ran                       C. drove                   D. jumped

      2,4,6

      【小題1】A

      【小題2】C

      【小題3】B

      【小題4】B

      【小題5】A

      【小題6】C

      【小題7】A

      【小題8】D

      【小題9】D

      【小題10】D


      解析:

      本文講述的是電視的發(fā)明者Philo Farnsworth的成長經(jīng)歷,告訴我們,即使沒有大學(xué)文憑,也一樣可以有所作為。

      【小題1】考查動(dòng)詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。從后面的to high school on horse back知道是騎馬上學(xué)的。

      【小題2】考查語境的理解。從語境知道,Philo Farnsworth小時(shí)候騎馬上學(xué),沒有大學(xué)文憑帶來的種種好處,卻產(chǎn)生了發(fā)明電視的主意。

      【小題3】考查動(dòng)詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。Philo Farnsworth出生那個(gè)地方,是他的爺爺輩定居的。

      【小題4】考查語境的理解。這里表示時(shí)間,在Philo Farnsworth12歲時(shí),他們家搬到Rigby的大牧場。

      【小題5】考查副詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。這里表示因果關(guān)系,由于住在大牧場,離最近的學(xué)校有4英里遠(yuǎn),因此,騎馬上學(xué)成為必要的。

      【小題6】考查形容詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。從語境上知道他對電子和電力特別敢興趣,希望老師給他專門的指導(dǎo)。

      【小題7】考查語境的理解。從語境知道,就像后來證明的那樣。

      【小題8】考查語境的理解。on the planet在地球上,這里表示“世界上”。

      【小題9】考查形容詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。從語境知道,當(dāng)時(shí)幾乎沒有人理解他的想法,在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域更不可能有人了。

      【小題10】考查語境的理解。從文中知道Vladimir Zworykin曾經(jīng)有這個(gè)夢想,但是最后沒有成功。

      Your parents have just told you the news­­—you’re moving to a new house. How in the world will you tell your friends?

      First, CALM DOWN.  36   a while to ­­­catch your breath and let the news sink in before you call your friends. Make   37   you have the whole story before you start telling people.

      38  friends who need to hear the news from you. Think about  39  you’d like to tell them, and when. A face-to-face talk may be the best way to let  40  frie-

      nds know, but the phone may be fine for others.   41  after school or on a weekend is good. You don’t want to drop big news like this on your friends during the school day.

      HOW SHOULD YOU START? Say something like, “I have some big news I want to share   42   you.” That will prepare your friend for what is going to come. Then say, “I’m    43  .” Tell him as many details as you know,  44   let him know how you feel about it.

      Each friend will have a different   45  to the news, so BE PREPARED. Some girls may   46  crying. But some may get   47  , some may get silly, and some may give you the   48   that they don’t care.   49  happens, be sure to talk to your friends if the things they do and say   50  your feelings.

      Ask friends not to tell anyone else   51  you say it’s OK. You could say, “Please don’t tell   52  until Monday.” That will give you a   53  to let close friends hear the news from you first.

      Ask your parents for help if you need it. A(n)   54  may be able to help you

      55   the right things to say and help you understand your friend’s reactions.
