I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs (突破). He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him 1 he thought he was able to be so much more 2 than the average person.

He responded that it all came from a(n) 3 with his mother that happened when he was about two. He had been trying to 4 milk from the fridge when he 5 the slippery (光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in, 6 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, ＂Robert, what a great and wonderful 7 you have made! I have 8 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 9 . Would you like to get down and 10 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?＂

His mother said, ＂You know, what we have here is a 11 experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two 12 hands. Let’s fill the bottle with water and see if you can 13 it.＂ The little boy learned that if he 14 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 15 !

This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be 16 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 17 for learning something new, which is, 18 , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment ＂doesn’t 19 ＂, we usually learn something 20 from it.

All American dollar bills（紙幣）weigh the same, they’re the same size, and they’re made of the same material. “There are no physical marks for those with vision（視力）loss, who need an effective means of knowing how much it is, a $1 or a $100?” explains Vencer Cotton, director of technology and training at the Columbia Lighthouse for the Bind in Washington D.C.

NOW there is something that comes pretty close. Meet the iBill, a piece of plastic about the size of a large cigarette lighter. Equipped with one AAA battery, a couple of buttons and a speaker, the iBill is designed to be simple. A narrow opening allows for a U..S. Bill to be placed inside and upon scanning, it will say the amount the bill is worth. However, even though the iBill can do that job for you, it doesn’t mean it’ll tell you if a bill is real or even how much you have.

Created by Orbit Research, it will be the first money reader distributed by the U.S.Bureau of engraving and Printing (BEP). THE BUREAU WILL SOON BE SHIPPING iBills, free of charge, across the country. “It is my No. 1 choice,” Cotton says of the iBill, especially when it comes to sorting money as fast as possible.”

There are actually a bunch of apps（應(yīng)用程序）that can do what the iBill ca, made convenient by the iPhone’s voiceover functions. In particular, EyeNote was also developed by the U.S. BEP to help distinguish bills. Another app, called LookTel, offers recognition for a large number of countries’ bills and VisionHunt distinguishes different kinds of bills and offers many tools to the blind. “But a lot of blind people can’t afford an iPhone,” says Shawn Callaway, president of the National Federation of the Blind of Washington D.C.

1.The iBill was invented to .

A. pay for things at certain shops

B. help children sort out their money

C. help the blind recognize their money

D. tell whether a dollar bill is real or not

2.What can we learn about the iBill?

A. It is unbreakable.

B. It can’t calculate.

C. It can light a cigarette.

D. It costs a lot of money.

3.Compared with other apps, the iBill .

A. is much easier for poor people to accept

B. offers more useful functions to the blind

C. is the only one developed by the U.S. BEP

D. can tell the differences between many foreign bills

4.What is the purpose of this text?

A. To encourage people to help the blind.

B. To talk about American dollar bills.

C. To ask people to buy the iBill.

D. To introduce a hi-tech tool.

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳答案。

（2017·新課標(biāo)II卷）I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技藝）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.

We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

A. Paul Newman wanted it.

B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

C. He wasn’t famous enough.

D. The director recommended someone else.

2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

A. They were of the same age.

B. They worked in the same theater.

C. They were both good actors.

D. They have similar characteristics.

3.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Their belief.

B. Their care for children.

C. Their success.

D. Their support for each other.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To show his love of films.

B. To remember a friend.

C. To introduce a new movie.

D. To share his acting experience.

You may laugh it off if someone told you that extreme weather disasters were actually a child’s tricks. But El Nino, meaning ＂little boy＂ in Spanish, could be about to cause trouble.

A recent statement from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned of a strong El Nino event that may be similar to the strongest in modern times. Scientists believe that evidence shows a more than 90 percent chance that it is coming – and it’s going to be big. ＂If this lives up to its potential, this thing can bring a lot of floods, mudslides (泥石流), and trouble,＂ said Bill Patzert, a NASA scientist.

El Nino is a climate event occurring in the Pacific Ocean. The wind usually blows strongly from east to west due to the rotation (旋轉(zhuǎn)) of the Earth. This causes water to pile up in the Western Pacific and pulls up colder water from the bottom in the eastern part. However, in El Nino years, the winds pushing the water get weaker and cause the warmer water to shift back toward the east. This warms the ocean as it travels before finally reaching the shores of North and South America. In an El Nino event, the waters of the eastern Pacific can be up to 4 degrees Celsius warmer than usual.

Most El Ninos last from 9 to 12 months and their effects are felt around December. They don’t happen every year though, usually between every two to seven years.

Last seen in 1997-98, El Nino caused severe droughts in Australia, the Philippines and Indonesia, as well as deadly floods in Peru and Ecuador. The world also heats up during an ElNino – 1998 became the warmest year on record at the time. If the current trend continues, 2015 is almost certainly to become the hottest year yet again.

A strong El Nino also affects hurricane seasons around the planet. The warmer the Eastern Pacific is, the more hurricanes it gets. The Western Pacific, on the other hand, tends to see more and stronger typhoons.

The weather isn’t the only thing that’s affected. Warmer surface waters in the Eastern Pacific make the cold-water fish swim away and damage the fishing industry in much of Latin America.

【題文1】 What is the text mainly about?

A. El Nino and its harmful effects. B. Extreme weather disasters ever.

C. The hottest years ever in history. D. The strongest El Nino in history.

【題文2】Which of the following statements is TRUE about El Nino?

A. It results from hurricanes or typhoons in the oceans.

B. It happens every two years and last about half a year.

C. It is a weather phenomenon occurring in the Atlantic.

D. It can cause extreme weather, such as floods and droughts.

【題文3】 During an El Nino year, ________.

A. the wind blows so strongly that it causes the water to pile up

B. the fishing industry in much of Latin America is likely to suffer

C. the more typhoons it experiences, the warmer the Western Pacific is

D. the surface water in the Eastern Pacific usually gets colder than ever

【題文4】 El Nino in fact results from ________.

A. a little Spanish child’s trick

B. the natural rotating of the Earth

C.an American expert’s prediction

D. the weaker winds in the Pacific
