(2017·安徽黄山模拟)Being afraid of heights, I hate climbing any high places.
But I made it weeks ago. Most of our classmates had come along on a day trip to a
beautiful beach village in Peru. After having lunch, many of us wanted to make the
climb to an area around the village.
Do I turn back? Yes! Will I regret it later? I really want to get to the top,
but ... At last, I decided at least to have a try.
My friend Tom was in front of me. Then, suddenly, he slipped and was about 10
feet back! My heart was beating faster until he stopped himself. Knowing that my
friend Seth would be right behind me, I began the climb. I was soon past the first
challenge safely, but not feeling much better about the rest of the climb. Looking

down, I saw rocks everywhere. My breathing sped up, and my heart beat even faster.
My friends kept climbing. But they did not forget me. Someone was always behind
me to help hold my feet when necessary, and someone else was always in front to
offer a hand up. With friends helping me by words and actions, I slowly
gained_ground.
Then we came to the worst part. The climb looked very close to vertical (垂直).
To me, the wise choice was to go back down. Melody encouraged me to go on and she
made it safely first. I stopped, unsure of my footing. “You can do it, Jean! I'm
right here，” Melody called. She waited patiently, not asking me to hurry. I took a
few deep breaths and kept climbing.
With no more mistakes, we came to the top finally. I was dirty and tired. But
it didn't matter. I was at the top! I had never felt so alive.

C< br>We have a real crisis in this country in the basic understanding of science. It
affects our global competitiveness as a country, our national security, and the
effectiveness of our social system. The misunderstanding about science is blinding
our eyes.
We know that an awful lot of teachers who are teaching science today have not
been properly empowered to do so. School frequently isn't testing whether you
understand something but whether you're familiar with it. What's Newton's second
law? You say F＝ma, and you get an A. That does not reflect a deep understanding of
Newtonian mechanics. Science education is not just a body of facts; it's a process.
To present it with appeal and excitement you need to picture it as a detective
story — asking questions, making observations, and collecting evidence. You test
and you fail but, you know, failure can lead to discovery.
Another challenge we face is that science is often viewed as too hard, for
experts only. But I don't actually think it's that difficult. People see science
every day. They look outside and see weather and nature. They push a button in
their house and the lights go on. Everybody is dealing with science every day. They
just don't call it that. And it's important they do. In fact, science is
determining the quality and outcomes of their life.
Science needs creativity. And one of the best ways to be creative is to think
“out of the box”. However, we need more courage when we come to practice. Take me
for example. Very early in my teens I decided to educate myself. I realized I would
never be a very good student because I didn't like teachers judging me by what I
thought were arbitrary (主观臆断的) standards. I decided I'd let the world judge me
by whether I could do something of value — solve a problem or build something.
That's why I quit school early and risked everything to start a company. I risked
everything I had because I had nothing to lose. I'd rather fail at trying to do
something really big than succeed at being medium.
“When's the right age to think creatively？” you may ask. I'd say in the womb
(母腹)! Kids don't have anxieties about trying to avoid failure. They are full of
3

imagination and much more willing to fail. Just watch a 3­year­old. They touch
everything, and if it hurts they don't touch it
again. They learn everything at a breathtaking rate. Start to think out of the
box as early as you can, because it's more likely to take you to places that you
can't predict, schedule and budget for. Do all that when you can bear the
insecurity.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。 作者通过自己的经历说明科学并不是高不可攀的，而是需
要创造力并普遍存在于我们日常生活中的。7．According to the passage, science teachers should _______.
A．train students' memory for right facts
B．focus more on the learning process
C．present interesting detective stories
D．abandon frequent science examinations
解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段第六句“Science education is not just a body
of facts; it's a process.”可知，教育不是事实的集合体，而是一个过程，因此教师更应该
侧重学习过程。8．Paragraph 3 indicates that ________.
A．science is intended for experts only
B．it's important to see weather and nature
C．people can determine the quality of life
D．we should realize science is around us
解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“People see science every day.”以及第
六句“Everybody is dealing with science every day.”人们每天都能接触科学，由此可知，
科学就在我们周围。
9．The author takes his own example to say ________.
A．school education may do little good to students
B．teachers sometimes judge their students unfairly
C．people need to take an unusual path to be creative
D．failure at a big thing is better than a small success
解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Science needs creativity.”以及第四段
第七句“I decided I'd let the world judge me by whether I could do something of
value — solve a problem or build something.”，作 者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们科学需
要创造，需要创新，走不寻常的路，故选择C项。
10． What's the tone of the passage?
3

2A．Questioning.
C．Criticizing.
B．Encouragin g.
D．Complaining.
解析：选B　文章基调题。根据第二段末句“You test and you fail but, you know,
failure can lead to discovery.”以及第三段第二句“But I don't actually think it's
that difficult.”，作者认为失败可能会带来发现，并且觉得 科学并没有那么难，由此可推测，
作者鼓励人们勇于思考，敢于创造就会有所发现。questioni ng意为“质问的”；encouraging
意为“鼓励的”；criticizing意为“批评的 ”；complaining意为“抱怨的”。
