Question

Hello Lovely Scientist,

My name is Sophie and I am 7 years old. My dad told me about the scientists at the CSIRO. Your skills surprised me a lot. Would you like to make a dragon for me? I would like it if you can, but if you can’t, that’s fine. I will call it Toothless if it is a girl, and if it is a boy, I will name it Stuart. I will keep it in my garden where there is lots of space. I will feed it fish. I will play with it every weekend when I am free.

Love from Sophie

After hearing from Sophie, the scientists “made” the CSIRO’s first dragon at Lab(實驗室) 22 in Melbourne.

本文講述了澳大利亞的科研組織CSIRO收到了一封來自索菲婭的信，信中索菲婭想讓科學(xué)家給她做一條龍，科學(xué)家們用科學(xué)方法做了一條龍。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句The CSIRO is an Australian science agency，可知CSIRO是一個科研組織。故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第四句Would you like to make a dragon for me“你可以為我制作一條龍嗎”，可知，索菲婭寫信給科學(xué)家的目的是想讓他們做一條龍。故選A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Our scientists usually printed insects (打印昆蟲) before, so they thought they could also print a dragon, ”Chad Henry said“我們的科學(xué)家之前通常打印昆蟲，所以他們想也能打印一條龍”，可知，科學(xué)家們想他們能為索菲婭打印一條龍。故選D。

【4】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段Sophie’s mother said Sophie always wanted to work at the CSIRO and thought Australian scientists could do anything“索菲婭的媽媽說，索菲婭總是想去CSIRO工作，認(rèn)為澳大利亞科學(xué)家無所不能”，可知，索菲婭認(rèn)為科學(xué)家無所不能，所以她想出了讓科學(xué)家制作一條龍的想法，所以，劃線處的句子表示“所以她想出了這個主意”，故come up with表示“想出”。故選B。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Sophie’s mother said Sophie always wanted to work at the CSIRO“索菲婭的媽媽說，索菲婭總是想去CSIRO工作”，可知，索菲婭的夢想是去CSIRO工作。故選A。
