Every Friday afternoon our class walks down to the science 11 on the ground floor. Last week we heated water in three metal pots of different colors to see which one cooled down fastest. Our teacher asked us to 12 the temperature every two minutes and write it down. Nobody was allowed to guess. At the end of the hour the black pot had lost the most heat, exactly as the 13 in our textbook predicted. Mr. Lin says a good 14 is one that anyone else can repeat and get the same result, because a single lucky answer is not 15.
Marie Curie is remembered as the first person to win a Nobel Prize twice, once in physics and once in 16. She worked for years in a cold shed with poor equipment, and she had to 17 most of her own tools. Her notebooks are still kept in a lead box, because they are not yet safe to touch. She never took out a patent on her methods and earned little money from her greatest 18. Her careful notes, however, later gave a young 19 the 20 he needed to explain how energy leaves an atom.
Questions 16–20

Alaboratory
Bformula
Cchemist
Dchemistry
✔ 正確答案：(D) chemistry
解析once in physics and once in ____ 兩者並列，都應是學科名稱，選「化學 chemistry」。chemist 是化學家（人）、laboratory 實驗室、formula 公式，都不是獎項的學科。
