1 This woman is one of the greatest scientists of all times. Even her name tells you that she likes science: a good scientist should want to find out manswers and ask many questions. In other words they should be curious. This woman was certainly curious. Together with her husband, she tried to learn the secrets of radioactivity. The couple were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Eight years later,she received a second Nobel Prize, this time forchemistry.
2 It is said that this English gentleman was sitting in his garden one day when suddenly he was hit by a falling apple. The story is probably not true, but this man did mention that he got one of his best known ideas while watching apples fall from a tree. His name makes you think that he was not too interested in old things. He discovered the force of gravity, and he drew up a system of how objects move. His laws for motion are still used in physics today, at least in schools and universities.
3 Food is what sets this great mind on fire. Rice, to be exact. This great mind has spent most of his life looking for ways to help farmers grow more rice so that all of us will have enough food to eat. He is known as the father of modem rice, but because of his long friendship with all the farmers in China, he would rather be known as “the farmer”.
Answers to the exorcises:
Great Mind No 1: Madame Curie
1 This great mind was on fire for radioactivity.
2 The scientist's name is similar to the English word
curious, meaning being interested in something.
(Curie sounds like the beginning of curious.)
Great Mind No 2: Sir Isaac Newton
1 This great mind was on fire for gravity.
2 The scientist's name is similar to the English word
for something not old. (New-Newton)
Great Mind No 3: Yuan Longping
1 He is known for his work with rice / in agriculture.
2 He wants to be called the farmer.
3 Various answers are possible. They are all passionate
about what they do. / They are on fire for something.
They have all made important contributions to
science and society.
Great Mind No 4: Various answers are possible.

Part 1
Scientists often look at nature in order to find new ideas.In ancient times, Chinese scientists studied how spiders make silk. Modern scientists are interested in the spider,too. A spider can make silk that is much stronger than most man-made materials. A spider's silk doesn't break easily. Instead of breaking, it gets longer. Best of all, the spider produces the silk without the use of dangerous or poisonous chemicals. If we could learn to use the technique, we might be able to use the strong silk to make things like seat belts and wires that hold up bridges.
Part 2
There are many other examples of how new technology has been developed by learning from nature. A group of German scientists wanted to find out why leaves and flowers are able to stay so clean. They decided to take a closer look at the white lotus, a flower that is known for its clean leaves. At first, the scientists believed that a very flat leaf would be better at staying clean. However,when they looked closely at the white lotus, the scientists saw that the leaf was in fact covered with tiny hairs and needles. The needles and hairs collect the dust that falls on the leaf so that a raindrop can easily wash it off. The German scientists used this technique to design a new kind of paint. The new paint could keep houses looking clean for years.
Scientists also believe that the butterfly could teach us a way to keep our computers cool. A computer must be kept cool to function well. The fans we use today are not always good enough. The butterfly is cold-blooded and must change its body temperature all the time. Scientists have found that there are small parts on its wings that the butterfly uses to change its temperature. If scientists can learn how this is done, it may be possible to use the samemethod to keep computers from becoming too hot.
Answers to the exercises:
Part 1
1 A spiders can make silk that is much stronger than
most man-made materials.
2 A spider's silk doesn't break easily.
3 Best of all, the spider makes the silk without the use
of dangerous or poisonous chemicals.
4 If we could learn to use the technique, we might be
able to use the strong silk to make things like seat

Background information
阅读下面材料，回答下列问
( A )
A black hole itself is invisible because no light can escape from it. In fact, when black holes were first hypothesized( 假设 ) they were called "invisible stars. " If black holes are in-visible, how do we know they exist? This is exactly why it is so difficult to find a black hole in space! However, a black hole can be found indirectly by observing its effect on the stars and gas close to it. For example, consider a double-star system in which the stars are very close. If one of the stars explodes as a supernova( 超新星 ) and creates a black hole, gas and dust from the companion star might be pulled toward the black hole if the companion wanders too close. In that case, the gas and dust are pulled toward the black hole and begin to orbit around the event horizon and then orbit the black hole.
The gas becomes heavily compressed( 压缩的 ) and the friction
( 摩擦 ) that develops among the atoms changes the kinetic( 运动的 ) energy of the gas and dust into heat, and x-rays aregiven off. Using the radiation( 射线 ) coming from the orbiting material, scientists can measure its heat and speed. From the motion and heat of the spreading matter, we can infer" the presence of a black hole. The hot matter circling near the event horizon of a black hole is called an accretion disk.
John Wheeler, a well-known theorist, compared observing these double-star systems to watching women in white dresses dancing with men in black tuxedos within a dimly lit ball- room. You see only the women, but you could predict the existence
of their invisible partners because of the women 's spinning and whirling( 旋转 ) motions around a central axis( 轴 ). Searching for stars whose motions are influenced by invisible partners is one way in which astronomers search for possible black holes.
The selection mainly tells us ___________.
Key: what a black hole looks like
Animal or plant What it can do How we could use it
Spider It can make strong silk without using dangerous or
Poisonous chemicals. We could use it to make better seat belts and stronger
wires to hold up bridges.
White Lotus
It keeps its leaves clean using tiny hairs and needles. We could use the same technology to make paint
that would stay clean.
Butterfly The butterfly uses small parts on its
wings to change its temperature. We could use the same method to keep computers
cool.
( B )
Stephen Hawking in China
Stephen Hawking, the disabled author of A Brief History of Time is launching his second journey to China in Hang-Zhou of Zhejiang Province. His first visit was over 10 years ago.
The great theoretical scientist has been invited to attend a state-of-the-art mathematics research institute at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou-based Dushi Kuaibao reported.On Sunday evening, he made his debut at a press conference held at Shangri-La hotel, Hangzhou. Hawking appeared at about 5:00 p.m. with his wife.
The 50-year-old man answered a total of nine questions with the help of his computer."Experts in theoretical science are dispersed around the world but we need communication. I am very glad that the world's first-class conference is being held in China this time, "he said.
I find the real universe much more interesting than the one in the film Star Wars," Hawking joked. "I encourage young people to study theoretical physics first if they are interestedin it. Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity implied( 隐含 ) space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great scientific development of the first half of the 20th century.
One consequence ( 结果 ) of such a unification theorywould be that black holes would not be completely black, but emit( 防射 ) radiation and eventually evaporate( 蒸发 ) and disappear. Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science.
But the talented man who has produced such rich work suffers serious Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (肌萎缩性脊髓索硬化)。 He is one of the 350,000 sufferers in the world. The disease kills over 100,000 people every year."I like life and I love life, my family and music give me the greatest happiness,” smiled Hawking, who can only move three fingers.
In the coming year, Hawking said he is scheduled to write a new edition of A Brief History of Time for young children.
"A Brief History of Time is my first book for common people. But I later found that I could write it in a more simple way," he answered. "So I decided to rewrite it so that all people can read it easily. "

难点
1. Imagination is more important than knowledge．
想像力比知识更重要。
(1)在这个句子中，我们应注意more…than．．．的正确理解，汉语意思为“比……更……”。
eg： He works more and better than he used to．
他的工作比过去做得更好。
Some students think chemistry is more interesting than physics．
有些学生认为化学比物理更有意思。
(2)另外more…than…还可译作“与其……倒不如……”
eg：The child was more frightened than hurt．
这孩子的伤倒不算什么，只是受惊不小。
The book seems to be more a dictionary than a grammar．
这本书看来与其说是一本语法书，倒不如说是一本词典。
2. It takes a very unusual mind t0 undertake analysis of the obvious．
分析明显存在的事物需要非凡的头脑。
(1)在这个句中take作“需要，要求”讲。
eg：The journey from London to Oxford takes about an hour and a half．
从伦敦到牛津大约需要一个半小时。
It'll take a long time for her to recover from the illness．
她的病需要很长时间才能痊愈。
3．…they are studying something that is too large or too difficult to observe directly，…
他们正在研究一些太大或太难而无法直接观察到的东西。
too…to太……而不能／而没有
eg：He is too angry to speak．他太生气了，以致说不出话。
He went too late to see her．他去得太晚了而没有见到她。
但是，该句型有时却不表示否定，而表示肯定，有以下三种情况：
(1)如果too后为glad，pleased，happy，eager，anxious，willing，ready(甘心的、情愿的)，easy 等表示心情(情绪)的形容词时，该句型表示肯定意义，这时too相当于very。
eg：Mary is too willing to study Chinese．
玛丽很愿意学习汉语。
The old man is too easy to get angry．
那个老头很容易生气。
(2)当too前有副词only，but，a11修饰时，该句型也表示肯定意义。这时only(but，a11)too相当于very very，语气较强。
eg：I shall be only too pleased to come．我将非常高兴来。
We are but too glad to do s0．我们非常愿意这样做。
(3)如果too前有否定词never，not，即never／not too…to…的形式；或不定式前有not时，即too…not to do的形式，均表示肯定意义。
eg：This lesson is not too hard to understand．
这一节不太难，容易理解。
You are too clever not to learn English well．
你很聪明，能学好英语。
练习： He is careless find out all the errors in the composition．
A．too；to B．very；to
C．much；to D．rather；to
Grammar
一 不定式的用法
不定式由“to+动词原形”构成其否定形式是"not to do”。
不定式可以带宾语或状语构成不定式短语，
没有人称和数的变化，但有时态和语态的变化。
to do 一般式
不定式的主动式有 to have done 完成式
to be doing 进行式
被动式最常用的是 to be done。
不定式的用法主要有：主语、宾语、表语、定语、宾语补足语、状语,但不能作谓语。
1.作主语：不定式短语作主语时，往往放在谓语之后，用it作形式主语。 例：To see is to believe．
It is right to give up smoking．
It is a great pleasure to talk with him.
It is important for us to learn English well.
It is kind of you to help me so much.
注意：
要想说明不定式的动作是由谁发出，可在不定式前加for sb.；但如果是形容词
careless, clever, foolish, good, impolite, kind, nice, silly, stupid 等作表语时用of sb.
2.作宾语：不定式短语作宾语时，如果还带有宾语补足语，往往把不定式宾语放在宾语补足语之后，而用it作形式宾语。
eg：e wanted to go．
I find it interesting to work with him．
Most of them don't know how to solve the problem.
You can decide whether to stay at home or play football.
注意：
有些动词后如：know, decide, find out, show, learn, teach, tell, wonder 常用 动词+疑问词+不定式 的形式。
3.作定语: 一般放在被修饰的名词或代词之后。
eg：I have some books for you to read．
注意：
(1)作定语的不定式如果是不及物动词，或者不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式
动作的地点、工具等，不定式后面须有相应的介词。
eg：He is looking for a room to live in．
There is nothing to worry about．
Please give me a knife to cut with．
但是，不定式所修饰的名词如果是time，place或way，不定式后面的介词习惯上要省去。
eg：He had no money and no place to live．
(2)当作定语的不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的承受者时，不定式既可以用主动语态，也可用被动语态，但其含义有所不同。试比较：
(1)Have you anything to send? 你有什么东西要寄吗?
(不定式to send的动作执行者是you)
②Have you anything to be sent? 你有什么要(我或别人)寄的东西吗?
(不定式to be sent的动作执行者是已被省略的me或someone else)
4.作状语: 表示目的、原因、结果或条件
eg：I came here to see you．(目的)
We were very excited to hear the news．(原因)
He hurried to the school only to find nobody there．(only to…常表示未曾料到的结果)
To look at him，you would like him．(条件)
注意：
(1) 目的状语还可以用in order to或so as to来表示。
eg：In order to pass the exam, he worked very hard.
We ran all the way so as not to be late．
(2)不定式也可在作表语用的形容词后面作状语。
eg：I am very glad to hear it．
he question is difficult to answer．
(3)“too+形容词或副词+不定式”也作状语。
eg：He is too old to do that．
另外句子中有enough这个词时，常用不定式作状语。
eg： The room is big enough to hold us．
5.作宾语补足语
eg：He asked me to do the work with him．
(1)在feel，hear，listen to，look at，notice，observe，see，watch，have，let，
make等词后的补足语中，不定式不带to，但是这些句子如果变成被动结构时，就必须带to。
eg: I often hear him sing the song．
He is often heard to sing the song．
(2)动词不定式在介词but，except，besides后面时,如果这些介词之前有行为动词do的各种形式，那么这些介词后的不定式不带to，否则要带to。
eg：She could do nothing but cry．
What do you like to do besides swim?
I have no choice but to go．
6.作表语
eg：My job is to help the patient．
7.作独立成分
eg： To tell the truth，I don't agree with you．
8.不定式与疑问词who，which，when，where，how，what等连用，在句中起名词作用，可充当主语、表语、宾语等。
eg：He didn't know what to say．(宾语)
How to solve the problem is very important．(主语)
My question is when to start．(表语)
二 不定式的省略
在一定的语境中，为了避免重复，在某些词语的后面不定式可省略，但不定式to通常不能省略。
1. 形容词后不定式的省略。这类形容词有：happy，gIad，ready，eager，anxious等。
如：I’ ll be away on a business trip．Would you mind looking after my cat?
Not at all。I’ d be happy to．
2. 宾语补足语、主语补足语中不定式的省略。这类动词有lagk，teIl，order，persuade，advise，wish，permit，allow等。
如：The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street, but his mother told him not to．
3. 动词后不定式的省略。这类动词有：like，love，hope，wish，mean，want，refuse，try，advise，persuade等。
如： Will you go to the theatre，Miss Brown?
Sorry．I don want to．
4. 在某些固定用法，如：ought to，have to，used to，be able to，be going to等后也可省略不定式。
如：一Alice，why didn’t you come yesterday?
一1 was going to，but I had an unexpected visitor．
注意：
有些动词后既可接不定式，也可接动名词，但含义不同。试比较：
go on doing sth．继续干同一件事
go on to do sth．接着干另外一件事
stop doing sth．停止干某事
stop to do sth．停下来去干某事
forget doing sth．忘记已干了某事
forget to d0 sth．忘记要干某事
remember doing sth．记得已经干了某事
remember to do sth．记住要干某事
try doing sth．试着干某事
try to do sth．设法干某事
mean doing sth．意味着干某事
mean to do sth．打算干某事
cant help doing sth．禁不住干某事
can't help(to)to sth．不能帮助干某事
regret doing sth．后悔干了某事
regret to do sth．因要做某事而感到遗憾
◇例题解析
1. She can’t help _______the house because she’s busy making a cake．
A．to clean B．cleaning
c．cleaned D．being cleaned (上海高考题)
[解析] 考查不定式作宾语。但不可因为思雏定势的影响而选择了B项。can’t help cleaning的意思是“忍不住要打扫”。与下文矛盾。本句句意是：她不能帮忙打扫房子，因为她忙于做蛋糕。can't help(to)do stll．表示“不能帮忙做某事”。[答案] A
2. When I handed the report to John，he said that George was the person______．(上海高考题)
A．to send B．for sending
C．to send it to D．for sending it to
[解析] 宾语从句还原则完成了send the report(it)to the person。当它变成不定式作定语则成了the person to send it(the report)to。 for 引导的短语不可作定语。[答案] C
3. The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier，______ it more difficult．
A．not make B．not to make
C．not making D．do not make (全国高考题)
[解析] 所缺部分作目的状语：(目的是)使生活变得更容易。再根据一致原则，前面用不定式作表语，后面也应用不定式 作表语。[答案] B
4. Wang Tao was made_______ the dishes for a week as a punishment．
A．to wash B．washing C．wash D．to be washing
[解析] 不定式在使役动词 make 后作宾语补足语时不带to，但如果make变为被动语态,不定式就成了主语补足语，就须加上to。 [答案】 A
5. The chair looks rather hard，but in fact it is very comfortable to________.
A．sit B．sit on
C．be sat D．be sat on (全国高考题)
[解析] 不定式to sit on用作状语，要用主动形式。sit为不及物动词，故应加上一个介词on。[答案] B
6. 一--The light in the office is still on．
一-- 0h，I forgot_______．
A．turning it off B．turn it off
C．to turn it off D．having turned it off (全国高考题)

10. We agreed______ here but so far she hasn't turned up yet．

11. Little Jim should 1ove________to the theatre this evening．
A．to be taken B．to take
C．being taken D. taking (全国高考题)
[解析] would like／love 后只接不定式，一般不能接动名词。Jim 和take 间存在被动关系，故用不定式的被动形式。[答案] A
12. He gave me this strange object for my birthday and I don't know_______.
A．it what to do with B．what to do it with
C．what to do with it D．to do what with it
[解析] 该题考查名词词组作用的“疑问词+不定式”的用法。根据句意和结构，空白处应填“疑问词+不定式”结构，作know的宾语。do with 在此意为“利用”、“使用”。[答案] c
13. She will tell us why she feels so strongly that each of us
has a role_______ in making the earth a better place to live．
A．to have played B．to play
C．to be played D．to be playing(2003年上海春招题)
[解析] 本题考查动词不定式作后置定语的用法。这里是不定式作定语，修饰a role。但要注意不定式的不同形式表达不同含义。to have played表示完成；to be playing表示进行;play表示将来；to be played表被动关系。根据句意“她会告诉我们为什么她这样强烈地感觉到：在使地球成为更美好的居住地中，我们每个人起到一定作用。”是表示将来。
再者要注意当动词不定式与所修饰的名词之间为动宾关系，同时与句子主语为主谓关系时，动词不定式用其主动形式表示被动意思，故排除c项。由题干从句中时态来看，为一般现在时(has arole)，故此处表示“起作用”，并非已完成的动作或正在起作用，故排除A、D两项。[答案] B

4.C 剖析：先知道 manage to do sth．结构，再者 get 是接宾补结构。
5.C 剖析：定冠词the+序数词结构后用不定式作定语。

9.C 剖析：要做对此题，必需具备的知识是rather than + 动词原形，prefer to + 动词原形。
10.B 剖析：make用于被动句时，要还原原来的to。易误：若看见make就想到make sb．do sth．而想不到被动结构的特殊性,则易误选A.
