By thirteen, Farnsworth had become a self-taught electrical engineer. He was able to fix the farm’s generator（发电机）when none of the adults could. In 1922, he read an article about a new idea of John Baird, a Scottish scientist, who had been working with the cathode ray tube (阴极射线管) for the transmission of electronic pictures and wanted to attempt it himself.
Farnsworth studied everything he could find on the subject. Although many older engineers with money backers were already developing television, Farnsworth made a bold decision — he was going to perfect a working model of it before anybody else.
In college, Farnsworth continued his research with cathode ray and vacuum tubes, but the death of his father, the only money maker in the family, forced him to give up this research and find a job. His first job was for George Everson, with whom Farnsworth discussed his dream of television. While acknowledging the achievements of those who came before, Farnsworth thought that he could get closer. Everson agreed to risk $6,000 for the research.
Backers came in 1927 to see the first American television, one year after Baird’s. They were astonished to see the image of a single white line resolve itself on the screen before them, and agreed that this new invention was worth putting money into.
In 1930, Farnsworth won a patent (专利权) for his all-electronic TV. By the time he died, he had earned over 300 American and foreign patents for electronic and mechanical devices.
小题1:When Farnsworth was at a young age, he _______
| A．had to drop out of school to help on the family farm |
| B．was sent to school to study electrical engineering |
| C．wanted to be the first person to invent the television |
| D．had shown a surprising ability in the electrical field |
| A．His parents didn’t support his work. |
| B．He didn’t have enough knowledge in this field. |
| C．He didn’t have enough money for his research. |
| D．No one was interested in this research. |
| A．11. | B．13. | C．19. | D．22. |
| A．the first person who worked for the transmission of electronic pictures |
| B．an inventor who improved on somebody else’s idea |
| C．an inventor who always came up with an original idea |
| D．a person who earned over 300 American patents for electronic devices |
答案
小题1:D
小题2:C
小题3:C
小题4:B
解析
试题分析：他在少年时代就在电气方面显现出了不凡的才能，13岁就通过自学成为了电机工程师，这就是本文介绍的二十世纪最重要的发明家之一------费罗•法恩斯沃斯。他是一名多产的发明家，除发明了第一台能传输图像的机械式电视机外，他还发明了一百多种装置。
小题1:D推理判断题。文章第二段提到他在13岁的时候通过自学成为了电机工程师，而且能够修理农场的发电机，由此可知本段讲述了法恩斯沃斯在少年时代就表现出的不凡才能，故答案选D。
小题2:C细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知当他在研究改进电视机时，家里唯一挣钱的父亲去世了，他没钱进行研究，所以正确答案为C。
小题3:C细节理解题。根据文章第一段When the Farnsworth family moved to their new farm in 1919, eleven-year-old Philo was surprised to find it wired for electricity. 和倒数第二段Backers came in 1927 to see the first American television,可以判断当他发明一台美国电视机的时候是19岁，故答案选C。
小题4:B细节理解题。由文章第三段he was going to perfect a working model of it before anybody else.可知他是在别人研究的基础上进行了改进完善，由此可知答案选B。

举一反三
It was my dad’s disease that began to change things. The year 1998 was the beginning of a remarkable transformation for my family. My father, Jim Dineen, the always healthy, weightlifting, never-missed-a-day-of-work kind of dad, discovered he had kidney (肾)disease.
The decision to go ahead with a transplant for my father was a long and tough one, mostly because he had liver damage too. One physician’s assistant told him, “According to your file, you’re supposed to be dead.” And for a while, doctors mistakenly thought that he would need not just a kidney transplant, but a liver transplant too. Dad’s future hung in midpoint.
When the donor testing process finally began in the spring of 2003, numerous people, including me, my uncle Tom, and my mom, came back as matches of varying degree. But Mom was the one who insisted on going further. She decided to donate a kidney to my father. She said she was not scared, and it was the right thing to do. We all stepped back in amazement.
At last a date was chosen – November 11, 2003. All of a sudden, the only thing that seemed to matter Dad was telling the world what a wonderful thing Mom was doing for him. A month before the surgery, he sent her birthday flowers with a note that read, “I love you and I love your kidney! Thank you!”
Financially, the disease was upsetting to them. So my sister and I were humbled and surprised when, shortly before his surgery day, Dad handed us a diamond jewelry that we were to give to Mom after the operation. He’d accumulated his spare dollars to buy it.
At the hospital on the day of the transplant, all our relatives and friends gathered in the waiting room and became involved in a mean euchre (尤克牌游戏) tournament. My family has always handled things with a lot of laughter, and even though we were all tense, everybody was taking bets on how long this “change of conduct” would last in my parents.
We would inform Dad that if he chose to act like a real pain on any particular day after the operation, he wasn’t allowed to blame it on PMS just because he’d now have a female kidney.
The surgeries went well, and not long afterward, my sister and I were allowed to go in to visit. Dad was in a great deal of pain but again, all he could talk about was Mom. Was she okay? How was she feeling? Then the nurses let us do something unconventional. As they were wheeling Mom out of recovery room, they rolled her into a separate position to visit Dad. It was strange to see both my parents hooked up to IVs and machines and trying to talk to each other through tears. The nurses allowed us to present the diamond jewelry to Mom so that Dad could watch her open it. Everyone was crying, even the nurses.
As I stood with digital camera in hand, I tried to keep the presence of mind to document the moment. My dad was having a hard time fighting back emotion, and suddenly my parents unexpectedly reached out to hold each other’s hands.
In my nearly 35 years of existence, I’d never seen my parents do that, and I was spellbound. I snapped a picture and later rushed home to make sure I’d captured that enormous, life-defining moment. After so many years of disagreement, it was apparent to me that they finally understood how much each loved the other. 65—70
