B
We know the famous ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells—but what about the less famous inventors？What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)？Shouldn’t we know who they are?
Joan McLean thinks so.In fact，McLean，a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range，feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning “who” invented “what”，however，McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions.According to McLean，“When students learn the answers to these questions，they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”
Her students agree.One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean’s statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention，” said Tommy Lee，a senior physics major，“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.
So，just what is the story behind the windshield wiper？Well，Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy，but Anderson still wanted to see the sights，so she jumped aboard a streetcar.Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield，she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a builtin device for cleaning the window.Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham，Alabama，Anderson started drafting out solutions.One of her ideas，a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside，became the first windshield wiper.
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A．Morgan’s traffic light.It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J．Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible.Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?
4．By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”，the author indicates that countless inventions are
.
A．beneficial，because their inventors are famous
B．beneficial，though their inventors are less famous
C．not useful，because their inventors are less famous
D．not useful，though their inventors are famous
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。由文章最后一段第一句“Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.”可知信号灯和雨刮器这些小的发明使我们受益。由第一段可知信号灯和雨刮器等的发明者不怎么出名，故选B项。
5．Professor Joan McLean’s course aims to
.
A．add colour and variety to students’ campus life
B．inform students of the windshield wiper’s invention
C．carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D．prepare students to try their own inventions
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“When students learn the answers to these questions，they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”可知应选D项。
6．Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was
.
A．not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B．inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C．due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D．not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。由第三段中Tommy Lee的话“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention...I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”可知他的发明是因为受到了雨刮器的发明故事的启发。
7．Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?
A．How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?
B．How to Design a Builtin Device for Cleaning the Window?
C．Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?
D．Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?
答案 C
解析 标题归纳题。全文讲述一些小的发明，虽不为人知，却非常有益，借以鼓励年轻人要善于把握发明的契机，故选C项。其他选项都比较片面。
Ⅱ.七选五
If you intend to work with this book seriously，I suggest that you give yourself every advantage by carefully following the laws of learning：
Space your learning.
8
Each session may take one half hour to an hour and a half，depending on the amount of material and on your own speed of learning.Do one or two sessions at a time—three if you’re going strong and are all involved—and always decide when you stop and exactly when you will return.
9
Everyone learns at a different pace.Fast learners are no better than slow learners—it’s the end result that counts，not the time it takes you to finish.
Review.
When you start a new session，go back to the last exercise of the previous session，cover your answers，and see how much you remember.
10
Test yourself.
You are not aiming for a grade，or putting your worth on the line，when you take the Comprehensive Tests.
11
You are deciding where repairs have to be made，and especially，you are experiencing a feeling of success at work that is well done.
Use these tests，as well as the abundant drill exercises，as aids to learning.No one is perfect，no one learns in the exact same way or at the same speed as anyone else.
12
And then，give yourself every opportunity to exploit your actual，latent，and potential abilities.
But most important of all，as I will remind you several times throughout this book，develop a schedule and stick to it!
A．Do you have quick recall after a day，or you simply forget everything?
B．This approach works better than any other method for learning words.
C．On the contrary，you are discovering your weaknesses，if any.
D．Every chapter of this book is divided into “sessions”．
E．Real learning goes on only through active participation.
F．Do not rush—go at your own comfortable speed.
G．Find the optimum technique and speed for your unique learning patterns.
