Question

John Dalton was born in England in 1766. As a small child, John worked in the fields with his older brother, and helped his father in the cloth-making shop. Most poor boys at that time received no education, but John was lucky to attend a nearby school. John was a good student and loved learning. His teachers encouraged him to study many things.

When he was twelve, he opened his first school in a nearby town, but there was very little money. He had to close his school and work in his uncle’s field.

Three years later, he ran a school in Kendall, England with his brother and a friend. They taught many subjects. There, John studied the weather and the nature around him. He collected butterflies and snails. He did many other scientific tests.

In 1793, John moved to Manchester to teach at New College, and began observing the behavior of gases. He began to think about different elements (元素) and how they are made up of.

In 1808, Dalton published a book, A New System of Chemical Philosophy. His atomic masses were not all careful and exact, but they formed the basis for the modern periodic table (元素周期表).

John Dalton died in 1844 in England. Today, scientists everywhere accept Dalton’s idea of how the atoms were made. A simple country boy showed the world a new way of thinking about the universe and how it is made.

A. John Dalton was born into a poor family in England

B. John Dalton continued his study in a nearby town at 12

【解析】

試題分析:本文講訴了化學(xué)家道爾頓的一生以及他對(duì)科學(xué)的貢獻(xiàn)

1.1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段：When he was twelve, he opened his first school in a nearby town, but there was very little money.可知在他十二歲的時(shí)候，在附近的鎮(zhèn)上開(kāi)了一個(gè)學(xué)校而不是繼續(xù)他的學(xué)業(yè)，所以B選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，故選B

2. In 1808, Dalton published a book, A New System of Chemical Philosophy. His atomic masses were not all careful and exact, but they formed the basis for the modern periodic table (元素周期表).可知道爾頓出版的A New System of Chemical Philosophy這本書(shū)雖然在原子量的描述上不是那么仔細(xì)和精確，但是這個(gè)為以后的現(xiàn)代元素周期表的形成打下了基礎(chǔ)，所以現(xiàn)代元素周期表是在道爾頓的作品上形成的，故選D

3.There, John studied the weather and the nature around him. He collected butterflies and snails. He did many other scientific tests.和第四段：In 1793, John moved to Manchester to teach at New College, and began observing the behavior of gases. He began to think about different elements (元素) and how they are made up of. 可知在道爾頓年輕的時(shí)候?qū)�科學(xué)特別感興趣，故選A

4.John Dalton was born in England in 1766，第二段開(kāi)頭：When he was twelve, he opened his first school in a nearby town，第三段開(kāi)頭：Three years later, he ran a school in Kendall，第四段開(kāi)頭：In 1793, John moved to Manchester to teach at New College，第五段開(kāi)頭：In 1808, Dalton published a book，第六段開(kāi)頭：John Dalton died in 1844 in England.可知此文是按時(shí)間順序來(lái)寫(xiě)的，故選A
