Question

【題目】A 15-year-old student who invented a flashlight(手電筒) getting power from the holder's body heat is going home today from California with a big prize and a chance to do further research.

Ann Makosinski was the only Canadian among the four winners at Google's international science competition. Thousands of young scientists from around the world took part in the competition.

Winning the science and technology competition was "a surprise". Ann said, "I think it will have a great influence on my future."

Ann thanked her family for encouraging her interest in science and said that her first toy was a box of transistors(晶體管).

Ann's prize includes $ 25,000 and a "once in a-lifetime expericnce" from Google for her Hollow Flashlight, which has no moving parts or batteries.

The idea for the invention came from seeing unwanted batteries and her friend's experience. When Ann visited a friend in the Philippines, she saw the friend couldn't study when it became dark because there was no electricity or light. She saw the need for a flashlight that has no batteries - Hollow Flashlight.

In her project, Ann wrote "I made two flashlights that do not use any batteries or harmful materials. They do not create any noise and will always work. The flashlight needs at least a 5℃ temperature difference between the holder's body and the environment around to produce light."

A video of Ann explaining how she creatcd the flashlight has been watched more than 1.4 million times on the Internet.

Though Ann was successful, she has not made a decision about her career path. Ann hopes that she can find a way to join her love of film and science together.

The four winners were chosen from 15 final competitors from eight countries. The competition attracted thousands of students in 120 countries.

D. few people are interested in how Ann created the flashlight

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【4】B

【解析】

【1】從文章主題把握。通過閱讀全文可知Ann的發(fā)明�？芍� C technology “科技”正確。 travel “旅游”；culture “文化”；advertisement “廣告”。

【2】段落概括題。第一段是介紹了一個(gè)發(fā)明了靠自身的能量發(fā)電的手電筒的15歲的學(xué)生今天正從California回家的途中，她不僅獲了大獎(jiǎng)還得到了進(jìn)一步做研究的機(jī)會(huì)。可見 A introduction “介紹” 正確。warning“警告” conclusion “結(jié)論” discussion“討論”。

【3】段落概括題。由本段第一句The ideas for the invention came from seeing unwanted batteries and her friend's experience�？芍�是指發(fā)明的想法來自看見廢電池和她朋友的經(jīng)歷。因此B why Ann invented Hollow Flashlight（為什么Ann 發(fā)明中空手電筒）正確。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從The four winners were chosen from 15 final competitors from eight countries. The competition attracted thousands of students in 120 countries.可知獲獎(jiǎng)很難，所以A 錯(cuò)誤；由Though Ann was successful, she has not made a decision about her career path.可知C錯(cuò)誤；由A video of Ann explaining how she created the flashlight has been watched more than 1.4 million times on the Internet.可知Ann發(fā)明視頻的點(diǎn)擊率很高，可知D 錯(cuò)誤。
