（2023·福建厦门·统考模拟预测）The light bulb has been called the most important invention since man-
made fire. Thomas Alva Edison, born in 1847, will forever be remembered for his contributions to the light bulb.
His mother, who was the making of him, knew that her son was fond of chemistry and electronics (电子学), so
she gave him books to read on how to perform chemistry experiments at home at the age of 10. Thomas did every
one in the book. He even set up a laboratory in 1859 and spent most of his time experimenting. Before he died in
1931, Edison patented 1,093 of his inventions, including the microphone, telephone receiver and electric pen etc.
What makes Edison’s contribution to electric lighting so extraordinary (卓越的) is that he didn’t stop with
improving the bulb. In order to improve it, he tested tens of thousands of different materials to use for the filament
(灯丝). Although he was often laughed, he finally showed the world’s first working light bulb in 1879 after
making over ten thousand attempts.
Asked by a reporter, “How did it feel to fail 10,000 times?” Edison briefly replied, “I have not failed. I’ve
just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” He always stressed the importance of hard work and determination (决
心). He never felt discouraged, or was likely to be hopeless of success.

（2023·福建泉州·统考二模）Zu Chongzhi was one of the greatest mathematicians in ancient China. Hewas born during the Northern and Southern dynasties. His family were very talented. They had been studying
mathematics and astronomy (天文学) for generations. From a young age, Zu was taught natural science,
astronomy, math, philosophy (哲学) and so on. The little boy was interested in all of these subjects, especially in
math.
Zu was best known for his calculation of pi. According to historical records, he did all the work using only
wooden sticks. It took him lots of time to work out the value — between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927. No one at that
time was able to calculate it more accurately (准确地) than Zu. The achievement has been recognized around the
world. In order to remember Zu, some mathematicians have suggested calling pi “Zu Lv (祖率)”. Zu was also
known for working out how to calculate the volume (体积) of a sphere (球). He did this with the help of his son
Zu Gengzhi. The two recorded their achievement in Zhui Shu. The book was used during the Tang dynasty.
But Zu was successful not only in math; he did a good job in astronomy, too. He worked out that a year
should be 365.24281481 days long and created the Daming Calendar. However, government officials at that time
did not agree with Zu. The great mathematician never saw his calendar put into use. After his death, Zu Gengzhi
kept on proving that the Daming Calendar was more accurate. Almost ten years later, the new calendar was finally
accepted.
Zu was also an inventor. He once made a vehicle that carried a pointer. However the vehicle turned, the
pointer always pointed to the South. Zu also invented the 1,000-li Boat. The boat could travel 100 li (about 60
kilometers) in a day.

（2022·福建福州·福建省福州屏东中学校考模拟预测）
When Thomas Edison hit a wall with his inventions, he would nap in an armchair while holding a steel ball.
As he started to fall asleep and his muscles (肌肉) relaxed, the ball would strike the floor, waking him with
insights (深刻见解) into his problems. Or so the story goes.
Now, scientists have repeated (重复) the trick in a lab, proving that the famous inventor was on to something.
The trick was to wake up in the transition (过渡期) between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. This
period can be as short as a minute and appears right when we start to doze off (打瞌睡). It slips by (滑走)
unnoticed most of the time unless it is interrupted (打断) by waking.
Researchers invited more than 100 easy sleepers to be volunteers for the experiment (实验). The team gave
them a math test. Those who didn’t find the key took a 20-minute break resting in a chair in a dark room with their
eyes closed. Each held a plastic bottle in their right hand. After the break when the bottle fell, the volunteers went
back to complete the math problems.
The researchers found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first stage of sleep were three
times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake.
However, the eureka (得意的呼声) moment didn’t come immediately after waking in this study. The
research team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring (监测) their
brain waves in real time.16．Edison would nap in an armchair when he _________ in his inventions.
A．felt a little tired B．avoided some difficulties
C．solved some problems D．made no progress
17．Paragraph 2 explains something about Edison’s trick EXCEPT ________.
A．when insights happen B．how short the period can last
C．when the experiment begins D．how the creative moment escapes
18．In Paragraph 3, researchers did an experiment to ________.
A．see whether Edison was right B．make a creative team
C．deal with math problems D．find connections between thoughts and action
19．What can be inferred from the passage? _________.
A．We can solve difficult problems shortly after we wake up.
B．Those who nap will do better than those who stay awake in a math test.
C．Creativity happens while sleeping, but it can disappear easily.
D．Sleeping with a ball held in a hand plays an important role in problem-solving.
20．The passage is mainly about _________.
A．Edison’s experiment on nap B．a study on creativity

（2022上·福建厦门·九年级厦门市第十一中学校考期中）The greatest scientists were famous not only
for their discoveries, but also for their interesting lives. Having a special, uncommon mind often goes hand in
hand with unusual acts.
Nikola Tesla is known for many inventions. One is the alternating-current（AC） electricity（交流电）.
While inventing, Tesla was good at keeping things in mind, because he used picture thinking and imagined every
step in his mind before even picking up a pencil. Tesla said he wanted to do it because of his mother, who
invented small electrical machines when he was a child.In his later years, Tesla had many strange habits. He slept only two hours every night and dined at exactly
8:10 p. m. After dinner, he’d often work until 3 a. m. Before bed, Tesla curled（卷曲）each foot 100 times,
saying it was good for his brain.
Another scientist encouraged by his mother was Albert Einstein, though what he got from his mother was a
love of music. In fact, Einstein often played music on the piano and violin to help him brainstorm.
Einstein’s great works include the most famous E = mc2 and his theory of relativity. However, thanks to his
wild hair, he is also well-known for the looks of a “mad scientist” and you can tell that he had some interesting
quirks. For example, he had a strong dislike of wearing socks. And Einstein was so withdrawn（内向的）as a
boy that he couldn’t speak until he was three.
Sometimes, the smartest of us are also the strangest. That quiet child in the corner may one day be the next
Tesla or Einstein.
26．How did Tesla remember things?
A．By taking things down. B．By thinking in pictures.
C．By drawing mind-maps. D．By reading aloud.
27．What does the underlined word “quirks” mean in Chinese?

（2022上·山东青岛·九年级统考期末）
During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong asked Feng Deyi to look for talented people. However, several
months passed, he didn’t find anyone.
“I tried my best, but there are not unusual people at all.” Feng said.
“People are like tools. What we need to do is to make good use of their talent. You should check yourself for
not noticing talented people. How could you say that there are no talented people in our country?” said the
emperor.
It is really true that each tool has a specific use. A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to
pick up food. We can’t use a knife as chopsticks. Like a tool, each person has a special talent. Nobody is perfect.
We can’t expect a person to be good at everything.
With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people. He offered them important
positions, which helped them make the most of their talents The talented people helped the society develop. A
good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of useful advice, so Emperor Taizong
gave him a high position and promoted him many times. He helped deal with difficult problems and became a
famous person in history. During that period, the important people around Emperor Taizong, such ag Fang
Xuanling, Wei Zheng Li Jing, all were the brightest and the best of the time with their own strong points.
Emperor Taizong’s talented people helped the society develop and created a “golden age”.
36．Who was asked to look for talented people by the emperor?
A．Emperor Taizong. B．Fang Xuanling. C．Wei Zheng.D．Feng Deyi.
37．What does the underlined word “promoted” mean?A．惩罚 B．批评 C．教导 D．晋升
38．Why couldn’t Feng Deyi find any talented people in Taizong’s opinion?
A．Because his rules were wrong. B．Because he didn’t agree with the emperor.
C．Because he was afraid of making mistakes. D．Because there were no talented people.
39．Ma Zhou is a good example of people who ________.
A．have no talent but are still useful B．are unusual and perfect
C．show talent in the right field D．know when to take a chance
40．What is the main message of the story?
A．Chance only comes to those who are prepared.
B．Talented people should be valued and led to the right place.
C．Nothing in the world is difficult if you put your heart into it.
D．Appearance can be changed, but talent always stays the same.
（2022上·广东广州·九年级统考期末）If you’ve ever seen your insides on an x-ray, you can thank Marie
Curie for being able to see them so clearly.
Marie was born in Poland on November 7, 1867. Her father, who taught math and physics, helped her
develop a talent for science early. As she grew older, she wanted to go to university and learn all about physics.
But women students were not allowed at the local university. Wishing to become a scientist and work on her
experiments, she moved to Paris, France, to study physics at a university.
In 1895, she married Pierre Curie. Together they discovered two new radioactive elements （放射性元素）,
and won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1903. And she became the first woman to win any kind of Nobel Prize.
Then she continued to make more amazing achievements in science. In 1906, she became the first woman physics
professor at the university. In 1909, she was given her own lab at the University of Paris. Then in 1911, she won a
Nobel Prize in chemistry. She’s still the only person— man or woman— to win the Nobel Prize in two different
sciences.
She soon started using her work to save lives. She used her understanding to help the x-ray take detailed
pictures inside the human body. In 1914, during World War I, she created mobile x-ray units that could be driven
to hospitals. She also helped train some women to operate the units. With these x-ray units, doctors could see
broken parts inside soldiers’ bodies clearly and help save over one million soldiers.
After the war ended in 1918, Marie Curie returned to her lab to continue working with radioactive elements.
But those can be dangerous in a very large amount, and on July 4, 1934, she died of a disease caused by radiation.
Marie Curie was a woman hero, not only because of her groundbreaking and life-saving scientific work. She
encouraged, and today she continues to encourage women to work in science, and scientists to use their work tohelp people.
41．What was the first difficulty on Marie’s way to science?
A．Her parents didn’t support her study. B．She had trouble understanding science.
C．Women couldn’t enter university in her city. D．She couldn’t afford to move to Paris.
42．What can we know about Marie Curie’s prizes in science?
A．She got a Nobel Prize in physics all by herself.
B．She got a Nobel Prize in physics because she was the first woman professor.
C．She got a Nobel Prize in chemistry because she got a lab.
D．She got the Nobel Prize both in physics and chemistry.
43．How did Marie Curie save lives?
A．She created mobile x-ray units. B．She carried x-ray units to the hospitals.
C．She operated x-ray units in the hospitals.D．She checked the insides of soldiers’ bodies.
