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 can benefit professionals and non-professionals alike.
B、It lists the various challenges physicists are confronting.
C、It describes how some mysteries of physics were solved.
D、It is one of the most fascinating physics books ever written.
答案
A
解析
题干问的是关于男士推荐的这本书女士说了什么。对话开头女士说她读过这本书,她认为不管是对科学知之甚少的读者,还是专业的物理学家,都可以通过读这本书来充实自己,故答案为A(它能使专业人士和非专业人士都受益)。B项(它列出了物理学家面对的诸多挑战)、C项(它描述了物理学中一些神秘难题是如何解决的)和D项(它是最吸引人的物理学书籍之一)对话中均未提及,故排除。
