Directions: Each of the following three passages is followed by som

35、e questions. For each question four answers are given. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question. Mark your choices on the ANSWER SHEET. (10%)Passage OneIn science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilizations every step in search of reality. Science cann

36、ot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification of amber. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever d

37、iscover what these mysterious forces “really” are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, “is not a thing, like St. Pauls Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all the

38、re is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for exam

39、ple, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because thats where they belong, and smoke goes up because thats where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Mo

40、dern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation. 41. Bertrand Russells notion about electricity is _.A disapproved of by most modern scientistsB in agreement wit

41、h Aristotles theory of self-evident principlesC in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how” things happenD in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “why” things happen42. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea that _.A there are

42、 self-evident principles B there are mysterious forces in the universeC man cannot discover what forces “really” areD we can discover why things behave as they do43. The expression “speculated on” (line 4) means _ .A considered B suspectedC expectedD engaged in buying and sellingPassage TwoThe conce

43、pt of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted

44、 when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a com

45、pletely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by fri
