2019中考英语短文改错、首字母填空、阅读优享新题（8）一、阅读理解。A（2019中考选练）Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless in science and finished bottom of his class. However, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell（干细胞） researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance（坚持不懈） can lead.At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdons high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was quite ridiculous.In spite of his teachers criticism, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab earlier and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures. “My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” Gurdon said.In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic（基因的） information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone（克隆） of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal（哺乳动物） in the world.In 2006, Gurdons work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample（样本） of a persons skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patients heart after a heart attack.“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things dont work, but when they do, you have to seize （抓住） the chance.”1.Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?A.Sir John Gurdon.B.Shinya Yamanaka.C.Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka.D.Gurdons science teacher.2.What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean in Chinese?A.无知的B.无畏的C.荒废的D.荒谬的3.According to the passage, which statement is true?A.As a boy, Gurdon was told he was hopeful.B.Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.C.Its impossible for the doctors to repair a patients heart after a heart attack.D.In spite of his teachers criticism, Gurdon kept working hard.4.Whats the main idea of the passage?A.Ninety percent of the time things dont work.B.Luck favors the prepared mind.C.Life is full of pleasure.D.How cells actually work.主旨大意 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了科学家Gurdon刻苦钻研,克隆出青蛙,最终获得诺贝尔医学奖的故事。1.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.”可知,Sir John Gurdon和Shinya Yamanaka获得了2012年诺贝尔医学奖。2.D词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys”可以判断,这与成为一个科学家的梦想差距太大。ridiculous意为“荒谬的,可笑的”。3.D细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“In spite of his teachers criticism, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard.”可知,尽管老师批评他,Gurdon仍然继续努力。 4.B主旨大意题。文章通过Gurdon的故事说明了幸运总是青睐有准备的头脑。B左栏是五个人所面临的困扰，右栏是七条建议，请根据五个人的个人需求为他们选出最合适的建议。()11.
