M: Hey, I just read a great book about physics. I think you’ d like it. It’ s called The Physics of the World. It’ s written by a scientist named Sylvia Mendez.
W: Oh, I read that book. It was great. The writer is a warm and competent guide to the mysteries of physics. [1] I think it promises enrichment for any reader from those who know little about science to the career physicists.
M: And it’ s refreshing to see a strong, curious, clever woman adding her voice to the scientific discourse and a field that has been traditionally dominated by men. [2] I think she is to be commended for making an effort to include anecdotes about little-known female scientists. You know they were often victims of a generation firmly convinced that the woman’ s place was in the home.
W: [3] I like how the book is clearly written with each chapter brought to life by pieces of fascinating knowledge. For example, in one chapter she exposes a myth that I’ ve heard taught by university physics professors. I’ ve often heard that medieval glass windows are thicker at the bottom because glass flows like fluid. This, she shows, is not true. The distortion is actually thanks to a peculiarity of the glassmakers’ process.
M: Yeah, [4] I like how she cultivates scientific engagement by providing a host of "Do It Yourself" experiments that bring the same foundational principles of classical physics that govern everything from the solar system to your kitchen table. From using complex laws of physics to test whether a spinning egg is cooked to measuring atmospheric pressure by lifting a piece of cardboard. Her hands-on examples make her book a truly interactive read.
W: Yes. I must say this equation-free book is an ideal read for scientists of all stripes, anyone teaching science and even people who dislike physics.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. What does the woman say about the book the man recommended?
2. What can we find in the book the man recommended?
3. How does the author bring her book to life?
4. How does the book cultivate readers’ interest in physics?
选项
A、By exposing a lot of myths in physics.
B、By describing her own life experiences.
C、By including lots of fascinating knowledge.
D、By telling anecdotes about famous professors.
答案
C
解析
题干问的是作者是怎样让自己的书生动有趣的。对话中女士说她喜欢这本书,每个章节都写得很清楚,并通过引人入胜的知识使每一章都生动有趣,故答案为C(通过包含许多引人入胜的知识)。A项(通过揭露物理学中大量的神秘知识)、B项(通过描述她自己的生活经历)和D项(通过讲述著名教授的轶事)均与对话内容不符,故排除。
