考点强化练 37(选修 8 Unit 2) 考点强化练第 73页 Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2017·9月浙江宁波十校联考) What is the nature of the scientific attitude,the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics,biology,chemistry,geology,engineering,medicine or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in our societies.However,many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science.The first aspect is the application of the machines,products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop.The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. What are these special methods of thinking and acting?First of all,it seems that a successful scientist is curious—he wants to find out how and why the universe works.He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation,and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected.Moreover,he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves. He is a good observer,accurate,patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest.For example,trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱). He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available.He rejects authority as the only basis for truth.Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively. Furthermore,he does not readily accept his own idea,since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation. Lastly,he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete.Furthermore,he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place. These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。社会的进步依赖于科技的进步和应用,科技的应用涉及两方 面,一是科学家所研发的机器、产品和知识体系,二是科学家在研究中特别的思考和行为模式。本文 主要介绍了科学家在科学研究中的思考和行为模式。 1.Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is WRONG?

Last Tuesday I convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.I called my dad to see if I could come over.When he answered the phone,I just said,“Dad,can I come over after work tonight?I have something to tell you.”My dad responded,“Now what?”I assured him it wouldn’t take long,so he finally agreed. I came to my parents’ house,praying Dad would answer the door.I was afraid that if Mom answered I would chicken out and tell her instead.But as luck would have it,Dad did answer the door. “Dad,I just came over to tell you that I love you.” It was as if a transformation came over my dad.His face softened,and the wrinkles seemed to disappear.He hugged me and said,“I love you too,son,but I’ve never been able to say it.” It was such a precious moment that I didn’t want to move.Dad and I hugged for a moment longer and then I left. Two days later,my dad,who had heart problems,but didn’t tell me,had an attack and ended up in the hospital,unconscious.I don’t know if he’ll make it. So my message to all of you in this is:Don’t wait to do the things you know need to be done.What if I had waited to tell my dad—maybe I will never get the chance again!Take the time to do what you need to do and do it now! 参考范文 There was a time when the relation between Father and me was tense.(要点 1)Finally I decided to make peace with him.(要点 2)After fierce struggle I picked up all my courage to tell him I loved him.(要 点 3)After two days,Father was badly ill in hospital,senseless,which left me in sorrow and in relief.(要点 4)In our life,don’t delay what you should do today.(要点 5) 〚导学号 29402159〛
