第二节：完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）

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 36 he thought he was able to be so much more 37 than the average person.

He responded that it all came from a(n) 38 with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to 39 milk from the fridge when he 40 the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in, 41 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful 42 you have made! I have 43 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 44 . Would you like to get down and 45 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, “ You know, what we have here is a 46 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 47 hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can 48 .” The little boy learned that if he 49 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 50 !

This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be 51 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 52 for learning something new, which is, 53 , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn't 54 ,” we usually learn something 55 from it.

36. A. why B. what C. when D. how

37. A. capable B. able C. creative D. original

38. A. coincidence B. experience C. incident D. conflict

44. A. got B. suffered C. done D. received

45. A. jump B. play C. enjoy D. lay

A

Ben and his wife Susan were on their way to have dinner with their friends. It was a dark，windy night, and they did not know the way very well.

The road that they were on was getting narrower，and there were no other cars on it. The wind was blowing harder with every minute that passed.

They came to a small village .They drove past a church and then two houses without lights on. There was nobody about to tell them where they were，or where the road went. Just then，Ben saw a telephone box，twenty meters or so further on. While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name outside the church，Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.

Their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold，when Ben came back to the telephone box，his head down against the wind. He said that there was a tree lying across the road，and that the telephone lines were down. Susan heard nothing more from their friends about th
