三、专题巧练
(一)
David,a famous scientist, has made several important medical breakthroughs. Many people were dying to know the secrets to his fantastic achievements. To work out the mystery, a reporter interviewed him asking why he was able to be so much more creative than most people.
David said that it all came from an experience with his mother that happened when he was about four years old. He tried to remove a bottle of milk from the fridge and it fell, spilling the milk all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!
Instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, his mother said, "David, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, David, whenever you make a mess like this, in the end you have to clean it up and restore all the things to their correct order. Now, which do you prefer to use, a sponge, a towel, or a mop?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the floor.
His mother then said, "You have a failed experiment in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy then learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.
This famous scientist said he had learned a lot from that little accident. It was at that moment that he knew mistakes were not something bad at all. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just chances for learning something new, which is, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesn't work, we still can learn something valuable from it.
1. What can we learn about David?
A. He is an important scientist in mystery.
B. He is considered to be the most creative.
C. Many people wondered how he got his success.
D. He kept his fantastic achievements as secrets.
2. Which picture can best describe the underlined word "spilling"?
3. After the milk accident, what didn't his mother do?
A. Ask him to play in the milk. B. Clean up the floor with him.
C. Encourage him to find a new way. D. Teach him how to carry a big bottle.
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A wise mother. B. A wonderful lesson.
C. A fantastic scientist. D. A failed experiment.

解析
【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，需结合原文内容逐一分析各小题：
1. 第1题：定位原文第一段，查找人们对David的好奇点，匹配对应选项。
