Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper
We know the famous ones一the Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells一but what about the less famous inventors?What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刷器)?Shouldn' t we know who they are?
Joan Mclean thinks so.In fact,Mclean,a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning" who"invented"what",however,Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the"why"and"how" questions.According to Mclean,"when students learn the answers to these questions,they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try".
Her students agree.One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement."If I had not heard of the story of the windshield wiper's invention,"said Tommy Lee,a senior physics major,"I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive."Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.
So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well,Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy,but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield,she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham,Alabama,Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas,a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations,It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A.Morgan's traffic light. It'5equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible.Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?
选项
By mentioning"traffic light"and"windshield wiper",the author indicates that countless inventions are______.A:beneficial,because their inventors are famousB:beneficial,though their inventors are less famousC:not useful,because their inventors are less famousD:not useful,though their inventors are famous
答案
B
解析
题干的意思为:通过提到“交通灯”和“雨刷器”,作者表明许多发明具有什么样的特点。通过文章第1段中but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper? 可知,信号灯和雨刷器是并不出名的发明,但是对我们的生活很有帮助。因此答案应该为B。 题干意思为:教授琼·麦克林的课程主要是为了什么。根据第2段中 when students learn the answers to these questions,they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try,即当学生了解到这些问题的答案,他们能更好地准备好来识别出发明的机会,并且更有动力来尝试着发明。由此可知,教授是为了鼓励学生自主发明。选项D为正确答案。 题干意思为:汤米·李发明了不易破损的雨伞是……文章第3段的对话: If I had not heard of the story of the windshield wiper's invention…I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.即如果我没有听过发明雨刷器的故事……我绝对不会把我在暴雨中的糟糕经历转化成如此有创建性的发明。据此可知,汤米·李是被雨刷器的故事激励的。 题干意思为:下面哪一个表述是错误的。根据文章第四段,玛丽·安德森坐电车去纽约时,看到司机艰难地透过被积雪覆盖的档风玻璃看路,然后产生了发明雨刷器的灵感。而真正的发明是在她返回伯明翰以后才做成的。因此选项A错误。 题干意思为:我们可以从文章中了解到什么。文章第1段便提到,我们需要记住不出名的发明家。其他选项都不符合题意。
