How to Succeed in Science　

(2023·辽宁师大附中高二上学期月考)　

To succeed in science，you need a lot more than luck. In my view，you have to combine intelligence with a willingness not to follow conventions when they block your forward path. Thus，these have come to be my rules for success.

__1__　

That might sound proud，but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than you. It’s like playing any game. Even as a child，I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was. If you win，it gives you no pleasure. And in the game of science or life，the highest goal isn’t simply to win; it’s to win at something really difficult. __2__　

Take risks.

To make a huge success，a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble. If you are going to make a huge jump in science，you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition. __3__This can be more than personally upsetting.

Never do anything that bores you.

My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things，and then leaves you alone. I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike. __4__　

It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists，because you have to go to key meetings where you spot key facts that would have escaped you. And you have to chat with your competitors，even if you find them objectionable.

So my final rule is：__5__　

A．Meet challenges with great courage.

B．If you can’t stand being with your real peers, get out of science.

C．Put another way，it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top.

D．Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess.

E．Avoid foolish people.

F．In fact，I find it hard to do well in something I like.

G．Besides，you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何在科学上取得成功。

1．E　根据设空处后的内容可知，作者认为只有和比自己聪明的人在一起才能学到东西，所以建议避免和愚蠢的人在一起。故选E。

2．C　根据设空处前一句可知，作者认为在科学或生活的游戏中，最高的目标不仅仅是获胜，而是在一些非常困难的事情上获胜。换句话说，要通过克服困难来超越自我，使自己名列前茅。选项C是对前一句的进一步解释。故选C。

3．G　根据设空处前的内容可知，作者认为如果想取得很大的成功，科学家必须准备好陷入很深的困境中。如果你要在科学上有一个巨大的飞跃，你很可能没有资格获得成功。此外，甚至也要准备好怀疑你心中的科学英雄，也就是要勇于怀疑权威。选项G符合语境。故选G。

4．F　根据设空处前一句中的“do well in something I dislike”可知，在科学研究中，对于自己不喜欢的事情做不好，但对于自己喜欢的事情也不一定能做好。故选F。

5．B　根据上一段的内容可知，作者建议要和其他科学家交流，从而发现自己忽略的关键事实，甚至要和你的竞争对手交流，即使你觉得他们令人反感。也就是说，如果你无法忍受与你真正地位相当的人一起工作，你就不要进行科学研究了。故选B。

Ⅱ．应用文写作　

假设你是李华，你的美国朋友Tom近日写信给你，想了解中国高中生的体育锻炼情况。请给Tom写一封回信。

内容包括：　

1．中国高中生参加体育运动的现状；　

2．分析该现状产生的原因；　

3．你自己的感想。

注意：　

1．词数80左右；　

2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；　

3．开头和结尾已为你写好。

Dear Tom，　

Glad to receive your letter. And I’m writing to tell you something about Chinese high school students’ physical exercise.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________　

Yours，

【答案】One possible version：　

Dear Tom，　

Glad to receive your letter. And I’m writing to tell you something about Chinese high school students’ physical exercise.

With the increasing pressure from the national college entrance exam, more and more students have to sacrifice the time for sports to prepare for the exam, which is so important for their future development. They only have one P. E．class a week, obviously not enough. Actually, most of the students are eager to take part in sports, but they are so occupied with their study.

In my view, although it is important for them to have a better performance in the exam, health is equally important. Without a strong body, we would achieve nothing in our life. I hope all students can reorganise their timetable and try to build up their bodies.

Yours，　

Li Hua
