【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀

The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin(查爾斯·達(dá)爾文), was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.

Charles’ father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Charles’ father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.

As a boy Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests.73. He watched nature and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things: eggs, stones, and leaves. His father did not like this, as Charles was not studying very well at school.

At the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University in order to become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.

Then he studied at Cambridge University until 1831.

Some time later, he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. The research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants, which he sent home from the places he visited.

When he returned home, Darwin was warmly greeted by his families and many friends.

In 1842, Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of the changes in nature. 74.Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.

By 1859, Darwin had finished his famous book The Origin of Species（物種起源）. It made a great hit in the world of science. He was opposed (反對(duì)) by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.

Darwin continued his studies in science until he died in 1882.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】Because he was interested in the history of nature.

【2】In December, 1831.

【3】他觀察大自然，并把他看到的和他在科學(xué)書(shū)上看到的作對(duì)比。

【4】達(dá)爾文明白了植物和動(dòng)物不總是一成不變的，他們確實(shí)在變化中。

【5】Charles Darwin.或其他含有Charles Darwin的合理標(biāo)題。

【解析】

試題分析，本文講述了達(dá)爾文的父親，達(dá)爾文從醫(yī)生到自然科學(xué)家的故事。要求學(xué)生閱讀短文回答文后各題，對(duì)學(xué)生的閱讀能力，綜合分析及表達(dá)能力進(jìn)行檢測(cè)。

【1】Because he was interested in the history of nature. 細(xì)節(jié)理解問(wèn)答題。題意：為什么達(dá)爾文沒(méi)有當(dāng)醫(yī)生？根據(jù)原文，達(dá)爾文對(duì)自然科學(xué)感興趣，沒(méi)有按他父親的愿望去當(dāng)醫(yī)生。因此回答：Because he was interested in the history of nature.

【2】In December, 1831. 細(xì)節(jié)理解問(wèn)答題。題意，達(dá)爾文什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始的乘坐獵犬的探索？根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容。獵犬號(hào)于1831年12月從英國(guó)出發(fā)，航行了五年。故答：In December, 1831.

【3】他觀察大自然，并把他看到的和他在科學(xué)書(shū)上看到的作對(duì)比。英譯漢題。

【4】達(dá)爾文明白了植物和動(dòng)物不總是一成不變的，他們確實(shí)在變化中。英譯漢題。

【5】Charles Darwin.或其他含有Charles Darwin的合理標(biāo)題。綜合分析題。本文主要的是達(dá)爾文如何成為一名自然科學(xué)家的故事，因此，以他的名字為標(biāo)題比較恰當(dāng)。所以填：Charles Darwin.
