阅读下面短文，回答下列问题。
澄明的夜空给予人们宇宙的宁静感是一个错觉，宇宙本身就是从混乱中诞生，也可能最终走向一个混乱的结局。虽然这个理论从根本上背离从古典时期到浪漫主义时期关于宇宙是最完美的艺术作品的概念，要接受它有一定的难度，但这毕竟是客观存在。20世纪物理学大师劳厄说过一番话，对于如何看待物理学中美的观念的发展和变迁是很有见地的。他说：“物理学从来不具有一种对一切时代都是完美的、完满的形式；而且它也不可能具有完美的、完满的形式，因为它的内容的有限性总是和观察量的无限丰富的多样性相对立的。”
如果把劳厄话中物理学这个词儿改成艺术，把观察量这个词儿改成艺术对象，于是他的话变成：“艺术从来不具有一种对一切时代都是完美的、完满的形式；而且它也不可能具有完美的、完满的形式，因为它的内容的有限性总是和艺术对象的无限丰富的多样性相对立的。”这番话对于如何看待艺术中美的观念不是同样很有见地的吗
是不是一切新的探索最终都归结到美呢不一定。在艺术上如此，在科学上也如此。在科学上一切探索都最终要受实验的考验，而在艺术上则是时间的考验。如果它们确是被挖掘到的世界的一个新的方面，那它们是美的。美不能先验地规定，就像毕达哥拉斯和开普勒那样。大师也会犯错误的，有时还是大错误。20世纪的一位数学大师外尔说：“我的工作总是尽力把真和美统一起来，但当我不得不在两者中选一个时，我通常选择美。”
正是他关于美的先验的标准使他相信左和右在宇宙里是对称的，从而放弃了他发现的一个重要理论——中微子的两分量理论，在这个理论中左和右是完全不对称的。然而李政道和杨振宁的工作证明，这个被发现者放弃的理论其实是正确的。外尔的观点在科学界是很典型的，他的朋友爱因斯坦也是一样，爱因斯
坦认为，美是探求理论物理学中重要结果的一个指导原则。不过，在平衡美学的追求与科学的探索时，我想，当年第谷对开普勒的忠告是非常值得记取的。
在回顾已经过去的20世纪时，人类有理由为文明在这一百年里的突飞猛进感到自豪，但是也应当充分地认识到一个事实，就是我们解决的问题远没有我们发现的问题多，我们驰骋过的领域远没我们未曾涉足的领域大，这就是今
A. 美在科学研究领域中应该是先验的规定。
B. 美是探求理论物理学中重要结果的一个指导原则。
C. 美和真在科学研究领域中有时是可以统一的。
D. 经受住实验和时间考验的探索才是美的。

根据下面短文回答下列问题。
Eskimos live in the northern (北部的) part of North America, from Alaska to Greenland. In that area, winter is nine months long. There is snow and ice everywhere. Not long ago the Eskimo family lived in a house made of ice and hard snow. It was called an "igloo". The igloo was heated(加热) with oil lamps. A hole is made in the roof for smoke or smell to go out. Today they live in houses made of wood and iron. But sometimes they will live for a while in an igloo when they go hunting (打猎).
Many years ago, only the Eskimos lived in this land. The Eskimos had believed that they were the only people in the world. They called themselves "Inuit". That means the people. Later when the American Indians (印第安人) met the Inuit, they called them Eskimos. That Indian word means "eaters of raw meat".

The word "igloo" means ______.
A. the house made of snow and ice
B. the people who live in Alaska
C. the building made of wood
