We call these kids “brain children” Six year-old Suzanna Goodin, tired of cleaning the cat food spoon, came up with the idea of a spoon-shaped cracker that can be eaten. She won a grand prize for her invention in the Weekly Reader National Invention Contest. Eight-year-old Theresa Thompson and her 9-year old sister Mary were the youngest sisters to receive a US patent. They invented a solar tent for a science fair project in 1960. They called the device a Wigwarm. At age 9, Margaret Knight began working in a cotton mill, where she saw a steel-tipped shuttle (梭子) fly out and hit a nearby worker. As a result, Margaret made her first invention: a shuttle restraining device. She went on to invent the machine that makes the square- bottom paper bags we still use for shopping today. That machine was patented in 1871. Eleven-year-old Jeanie Low received a patent on March 10, 1992, for inventing the Kiddie Stool (凳子)a fold-up stool that fits under the sink so kids can unfold it, stand on it, and reach the sink on their own! Becky Schroeder began her patenting career when she was 14 years old. She put phosphorescent_paint on paper under her writing paper so that she could write in the dark. This invention was later used in all sorts of ways. Doctors use it in hospitals to read patients' charts at night without waking them, and astronauts use it when their electrical systems are turned down for recharging. Fourteen-year-old Pamela Sica invented a push-button device that raises the floor of a car so that goods can be raised and easily removed. Her invention won a grand prize for her age group in the Weekly Reader National In vention Contest. She wanted to patent her invention but found that it was too expensive. Eight-year-old Chelsea Lannon received a patent in 1994 for the “pocket diaper (尿布)”, a diaper that has a pocket that holds things. She got her idea while helping her mother with her baby brother while she was still in kindergarten! 60Which inventions won a prize in the Weekly Reader National Invention Contest? AThe spoon- shaped cracker and the shuttle restraining device. BThe shuttle restraining device and the Kiddie Stool. CThe Kiddie Stool and the pocket diaper. DThe spoon shaped cracker and the device that raises the floor of a car. 答案:D细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “She won a grand prize for her invention in the Weekly Reader National Invention Contest.”和第七段中的 “Her invention won a grand prize for her age group in the Weekly Reader National Invention Contest.”可知答 案。 61What can we know from the passage? ATheresa Thompson was the youngest child to make an invention. BA Wigwarm can be used to make paper bags. CMargaret Knight made more than one invention. DJeanie Low invented the spoon- shaped cracker that can be eaten. 答案: C细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She went on to invent the machine”可 知她发明了不止一样东西。 62According to Paragraph 6, “phosphorescent paint” probably refers to a kind of paint that _. Acan produce light in the dark Bis used to write things Cis produced in the dark Dis specially designed for doctors 答案: A词义猜测题。根据第六段中的“so that she could write in the dark”可 知答案。 63The idea of the pocket diaper occurred to Chelsea Lannon when she _. Awas cleaning the cat food spoon Bwas in primary school Cwas helping her mother Dwas working in a cotton mill 答案: C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“She got her idea while helping her mother with her baby brother while she was still in
