A
The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.
Darwin's father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Darwin's father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.
As a boy, Darwin liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature, and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things, birds, eggs, stones and leaves. His father did not like that, and Darwin was not studying very well at school.
At the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to study in order that he could become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.
Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University. There he studied until 1831.
Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and needed a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. His research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants.
In 1842 Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of changes in nature. Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.
By 1859 Darwin had finished his famous book "The Origin of Species"（《物种起源》）. It made a great hit in the world of science. He was opposed by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.
1．What did Charles Darwin' s father do
A．A worker. B．A doctor. C．A scientist. D．A teacher.
2．Charles Darwin had so many hobbies except that ______.
A．he liked to go for walks in the forests
B．he liked watching nature
C．he preferred collecting coins and stamps
D．he was fond of the history of nature
3．When did Daiwin leave England for a trip to South America
A．In 1831. B．In 1832. C．In 1842. D．In 1859.
4．The underlined word "opposed" means ______.
A．接受 B．开除 C．反对 D．尊重
5．What can we learn from Charles Darwin
A．Don't care what parents say to us.
B．The trip can bring us wealth.
C．We should ask teachers for help when meeting problems.
D．Keep doing what we like and work hard, we'll succeed.
【答案】BCACD
【解析】本篇文章难度适中，主要介绍达尔文的生平以及通过他的经历告诉我们：要坚持自己的爱好并为之努力，你总会成功的。
1．细节理解题。根据“Darwin's father was a well-known doctor”可知，达尔文的父亲是一位著名的医生，故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据“As a boy, Darwin liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature, and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things, birds, eggs, stones and leaves”（达尔文喜欢在田野和森林里散步。他观察自然，并把他所看到的一切与他在科学书籍中读到的进行比较。他也非常喜欢收集。他收集了许多东西，有鸟、蛋、石头和树叶）可知，他没有喜欢收集硬币和邮票，故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据“Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and needed a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it”（一段时间后，他听说贝格尔号要去南美旅行，船上需要一位科学家。他的教授建议他去。他说这次旅行就是为达尔文准备的。所以当船在1831年12月离开英国时，达尔文已在船上了”可知，是在1831年，故选A。
4．词语猜测题．根据“But later，more and more scientists agreed with him”（但是后来，越来越多的科学家同意他的观点）可知，此处是讲他遭到了教会甚至一些科学家的反对，故选C。
5．主旨大意题。根据“Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants”（达尔文看到了许多新的植物和动物。他收集各种各样的植物）以及“By 1859 Darwin had finished his famous book "The origin of Species"（《物种起源〉）. It made a great hit in the world of science. He was opposed by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him”（到1859年，达尔文完成了他的名著《物种起源》，并在科学界大受欢迎。他遭到了教会甚至一些科学家的反对。但是后来，越来越多的科学家同意他的观点），并联系全文可知，对达尔文一生经历的描述，可知是告诉我们要坚持自己的爱好，并为之努力，总会取得成功，故选D。
