第二部分 阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A Even the most powerful computer in the world can’t be a genius because it has no character. It can remember and calculate quickly and accurately, and handle great amounts of information—but it can’t think about the information like we can. It has no feelings, no opinions, no moments of madness.

Study the great human geniuses and you’ll see that they all have special parts to their characters, qualities that allow them to go beyond everything previously achieved. Their lives hold many of the secrets to having great ideas and putting them into practice. To be a genius you need to:

—Have fun. Leonardo da Vinci was well known for his jokes and funny stories. Galileo had a busy social life and was another great joker.

·3·

Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, and the genius behind Microsoft, has been described as “a big teenager.” He once said that one of his favorite hobbies was playing with earthmoving equipment on building sites!

—Be curious. Geniuses spend their lives asking questions about the world around them.

Leonardo da Vinci filled many notebooks with his questions that he wanted to answer. Here is one passage from his notebook:

“I wandered about the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand: why shells existed on the tops of mountains… why thunder lasts longer than that which causes it… how the various circles of water form around the spot that has been struck by a stone… how a bird flies…”

—Be brave. Geniuses simply can’t be afraid of making mistakes. Orville and Wilbur Wright had many crashes and ruined many planes before they finally got off the ground. Inventor Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he managed to turn electricity into light. He told his friends that, because he knew so many ways that didn’t work, he was much closer than any other inventor to finding the right answer!

Geniuses must also be prepared to shock people. New ideas can seem strange and even frightening to others, and great thinkers are often described as being odd and foolish.

—Keep trying. Thomas Edison once said that genius was “one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

To become a genius you must be prepared to work long and hard, often in the face of great difficulties. —Be inspired. The answers you’re looking for may be close by—you just have to know where to look. Travel is another good source of inspiration. Mozart picked up many good musical ideas during his travels. While still a teenager, Albert Einstein persuaded his parents to let him tour the main cities of Italy. He came back with some exciting ideas.

—Stay fit. An ancient saying goes, “A healthy mind is in a healthy body.” So it’s very important for your body to be operating at its best so that your mind can also function powerfully.

As well as being a philosopher, poet and politician, Sophocles was also a champion in sports and won many prizes. Leonardo da Vinci was famous for his strength and special ability in riding horses.

So it is clear then, that to be a genius is to push the limits, in your mind, and beyond. 41. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the qualities of geniuses B. the lives of geniuses C. the hobbies of geniuses D. the ideas of geniuses 42. One thing that is NOT true about Leonardo da Vinci is that ______. A. his notebooks were full of his questions B. he took great delight in telling jokes C. he enjoyed playing on the building sites D. he was very skillful at riding horses

43. Great thinkers are often considered to be strange and silly because ______. A. they have unusual living habits

B. their ideas seem strange and frightening C. they have awkward characters D. they behave in strange ways

44. According to the passage, travel is good in that it brings people ______. A. great fun B. good health

·4·

C. rich experiences 45. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By providing examples B. By making comparisons

C. By following the order of importance D. By making classifications What we do

D. new and fresh ideas
