[单项选择]Science is a dominant theme in our culture. Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated People need at least some acquaintance with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist.
This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person whose acquaintance with science is superficial; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty store-house of dried facts; for the person who has been presented with science as the production of gadgets; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician.

[简答题]The world’s long romance with speed may finally be ending. Even if Concorde (协和式飞机) flies again, its antique nature was revealed as soon as the Paris accident made people scratch their heads and ask quite why these odd aircraft were still flying. Much of the technology that surrounded us has, when we look at it afresh, a Jules Verne quality-solving problems that once seemed important in ways that are ingenious but not necessarily efficient or safe.
The reorientation of science toward the biological and computer frontiers is now an old story, but the 19th century fascination with motive power has retained a powerful hold on our imaginations and our economies. 71. Advances in motive power were for a long while the main way in which progress and national competition in technology were measured. First at sea, then on the railways, then on the roads, in the air and finally in space, more and more rapid movement was seen as an Carefree good and also, in some vague way, as a key to a

[单项选择]Climatic conditions are delicately adjusted to the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere. If there were a change in the atmosphere--for example, in the relative proportions of atmosphere gases--the climate would probably change also. A slight increase in water vapor, for instance, would increase the hem-retaining capacity of the atmosphere and would lead to a rise in global temperatures. In contrast, a large increase in water vapor would increase the thickness and extent of the cloud layer, reducing the mount of solar energy reaching the Earth’ surface.
The level of carbon dioxide, CO2 in the atmosphere has important effect on climatic change. Most of the Earth’s incoming energy is short-wavelength radiation, which tends to pass through atmospheric CO2 easily. The Earth, however, reradiates much of the received energy as a long-wavelength radiation, Which CO2 absorbs and then remits toward the Earth. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect,
A. Why are projections of the effects of changes in water vapor levels on the climate so inaccurate
B. What are the steps in the process that takes place as CO2 absorbs long-wavelength radiation
C. How might our understanding of the greenhouse effect be improved if the burning of fossil fuels were decreased
D. What might cause a series of regular increases and decreases in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere

[单项选择]Next to Sir Andrew in the club-room sits Captain Sentry, a gentleman of great courage, good understanding, but invincible modesty. He is one of those that deserve very well, but are very awkward at putting their talents within the observation of such as should take notice of them. He was some years a captain, and behaved himself with great gallantry in several engagements and at several sieges; but having a small estate of his own, and being next heir to Sir Roger, he has quitted a way of life in which no man can rise suitably to his merit, who is not something of a courtier as well as a soldier. I have heard him often lament that in a profession where merit is placed in so conspicuous a view, impudence should get the better of modesty. When he had talked to this purpose; I never heard him make a sour expression, but frankly confess that he left the world because he was not fit for it. A strict honesty, and an even regular behavior, are in themselves obstacles to him that must press th
A. domineering quality

[单项选择]From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases.
