A famous scientist was asked why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far 1 from others?
He 2 that it all resulted from a (n) 3 that occurred when he was three. He was trying to 4 a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost hold of the bottle, spilling its 5 all over the kitchen floor.
Instead of 6 at him, his mother said, “Robert, what a wonderful 7 you have made! I have 8 seen such a huge puddle of milk. Since the 9 is done, would you like to get down and play in the milk for a while 10 cleaning it up?”
Indeed, he did. “Robert, 11 you make a mess like this, 12 you have to clean it up and restore everything to its 13 order.” And then together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “Robert, that is a 14 experiment in how to 15 carry a big milk bottle. Let’s go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can 16 a way to carry a bottle of water without dropping it.”
The scientist remarked he learned from that moment that mistakes were just 17 for learning something new, which is 18 scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment“doesn’t work”, we usually learn something 19 from it.
Wouldn’t it be great if all 20 would respond like Robert’s mother?

A
Harvard researchers have created a tough, lowcost, biodegradable(可生物降解的) material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp (虾) shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk.” It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.
A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and '60s. Decades later, however, plastic's very durability (耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for onetime products such as plastic bags, or shortlived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?
Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer (肥料), and so will enrich the soil.
Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk lowcost, and its mass
production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.
Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible
when wet, so they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They’re also developing
simpler production processes, which could be used for nonmedical products，like for
computer cases and other products inside the home. They’re even exploring combining it with other materials，like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.
66. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilk's ________.
A．remarkable design
B．interesting name
C．major features
D．basic elements
67. What has become a concern about plastic?
A．Using it properly.
B．Producing it cheaply.
C．Developing its properties quickly.
D．Evaluating its contributions fairly.
68. According to the inventors，shrilk has great potential partly because ________.
A．it can help plastic degrade
B．it can be found in living things
C．its mass production has been realized
D．its raw materials are abundant in nature
69. What are the inventors doing in the lab?
A．Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk.
B．Testing shrilk's use in wet conditions.
C．Making shrilk out of used household goods.
D．Improving shrilk’s flexibility for medical purposes.
70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Recent Progress in Environmental Protection
B．Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research
C．The Harm of Onetime Products
D.A Possible Alternative to Plastic
B
(2017届·安徽示范高中二次联考)
Are you the type of person who always says “yes”？I’ve come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”．It’s okay.People are still going to like you.They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.
I’m not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help.I’m talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.
Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really don’t want to do.If you’re like I once was，you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much.It weighs on your mind.You try to find ways out.Whatever you’re saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.
So，why not just say “no” from the beginning？Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting (by the way，it is not one you must attend)，your boss isn’t going to like you or your coworkers won’t respect you.Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them what they ask every occasion.
If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what.People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you’re someone who
always says “yes”，then that’s what they’re expecting.
You need to do what is right for you.Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.
1．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?
A．We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.
B．We should help others in need.
C．Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.
D．Always saying “no” means you are brave.
2．Generally speaking，we agree to do what we hate to do because we________.
A．have a bad habit
B．have a kind heart
C．have much concern
D．have obligations
3．The writer believes that if you say “no” to your family members，you’ll________.
A．have the same relationship with them as before
B．have a loose relationship with them
C．disappoint them
D．upset them
4．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Learn to Make a Right Choice
B．To Be Yourself
C．Do What You Want to Do
D．Learn to Say “No”
