8、which science deals is the real universe, yet we do not and cannot have any but fleeting and imperfect contacts with it; that the most important part of our lives-our sensations, emotions, desires and aspirations-take place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate or destroy, but which

9、 it is powerless to enrich.1. The author suggests that in order to bridge the puzzling difference between scientific truth and the world of illusion, the reader should_.A) try to rid himself of his world of illusionB) accept his words as being one of illusionC) apply the scientific methodD) learn to

The topic of this selection is_.A) the distortion of reality by scienceB) the confusion caused by emotionsC) Platonic and contemporary views of truthD) the place of scientific truth in our

12、lives5. By “objective reality” (Last line, Para. 1) the author means_.A) scientific realityB) a symbolic existenceC) the viewers experienceD) reality colored by emotion答案与解析：1.

D根据文章，科学家相信“table”就是一群运动的原子。直接题型语义指代题。根据第一段第一 句的前半句“.but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind, and it is not with dancing atoms .”我们可推出D是正确答案。
