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、It avoids detailing abstract concepts of physics.
B、It contains a lot of thought-provoking questions.
C、It demonstrates how they can become physicists.
D、It provides experiments they can do themselves.
答案
D
解析
题干问的是这本书怎样培养读者对物理学的兴趣。对话中男士说他喜欢作者通过提供大量自己动手的实验来培养读者的科学参与度,故答案为D(它提供给人们可以自己完成的实验)。A项(它避免详述物理学的抽象概念)、B项(它包含了许多发人深思的问题)和C项(它展示了人们怎样成为物理学家)对话中均未提及,故排除。
