Question

A 15-year-old student who invented a flashlight(手電筒) getting power from the holder's body heat is going home today from California with a big prize and a chance to do further research.
Ann Makosinski was the only Canadian among the four winners at Google's international science competition. Thousands of young scientists from around the world took part in the competition.
Winning the science and technology competition was "a surprise". Ann said, "I think it will have a great influence on my future."
Ann thanked her family for encouraging her interest in science and said that her first toy was a box of transistors(晶體管).
Ann's prize includes $ 25,000 and a "once in a-lifetime expericnce" from Google for her Hollow Flashlight, which has no moving parts or batteries.
The idea for the invention came from seeing unwanted batteries and her friend's experience. When Ann visited a friend in the Philippines, she saw the friend couldn't study when it became dark because there was no electricity or light. She saw the need for a flashlight that has no batteries - Hollow Flashlight.
In her project, Ann wrote "I made two flashlights that do not use any batteries or harmful materials. They do not create any noise and will always work. The flashlight needs at least a 5℃ temperature difference between the holder's body and the environment around to produce light."
A video of Ann explaining how she creatcd the flashlight has been watched more than 1.4 million times on the Internet.
Though Ann was successful, she has not made a decision about her career path. Ann hopes that she can find a way to join her love of film and science together.
The four winners were chosen from 15 final competitors from eight countries. The competition attracted thousands of students in 120 countries.

Answer 1

小題1:C
小題2:A
小題3:B
小題4:B

試題分析：15 歲的學生Ann Makosinski發明了用持有者的身體熱量作為電源的手電筒。今天從加州拿著$ 25,000的大獎回家，還獲得了一個進一步研究的機會。這個發明的想法是從看到不需要的電池和她的朋友的經歷中想到的。Hollow Flashlight環保、安全、無噪音。
小題1:細節理解題。根據第一段介紹發明手電筒可知這篇文章應該在報紙的科學技術欄。Travel旅游； Culture文化；Technology技術；Advertisement廣告。故選C。
小題2:推理判斷題。A. introduction介紹；B. warning預告；C. argument爭論；D. discussion討論。根據第一段的內容（一個 15 歲的學生發明了從持有者的身體熱量獲得電源的手電筒。今天從加州拿著大獎回家，還獲得了一個進一步研究的機會。）可知，故選A。
小題3:段落歸納題。根據第6段的意思可知，這個發明的想法是從看到不需要的電池和她的朋友的經歷中想到的。當安在菲律賓去拜訪朋友時，她看到朋友無法學習當天暗下來，因為沒有電也沒有光。她看到對不用電池-空心手電筒的需要。故選B（Ann為什么發明中空手電筒）。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據I made two flashlights that do not use any batteries or harmful materials. They do not create any noise and will always work.可知，Hollow Flashlight環保、安全、無噪音。故選B。
