5、閱讀材料，回答題。 How does Science Proceed? How exactly does science work? How do scientists go about "doing" science? Ordinarily we think science proceeds in a straightforward way. Ideally, scientists make observations, formulate hypotheses, and test those hypotheses by making further observations. When there is difference between what is observed and what is predicted by the hypothesis, the hypothesis is reviewed. Science proceeds in this way, which is a gradual method of finding the best fit between observation and prediction. But this idealized version of how one "does" science is naive.Although science demands proof that observations made by one observer be observable by other observers using the same methods.It is by no means clear that even when confronted with identical phenomena different observers will report identical observations. And it is most certain that, even if the same observations are made, the conclusions as to the meaning of the observations frequently differ. The fact is that all of us scientists included, see differently. Variations in human perception are well known and have been studied extensively. Distortions in perceptions are frequently seen among observers, even though they may be in identical settings viewing identical phenomena. A documented misperception from history can be found in the experience of Darwin.His ship, Beagle, after anchoring off the Patagonian coast, sent off a landing party in small rowboats. Amazingly, the Patagonian natives watching from shore were blind to the Beagle, but could easily see the tiny rowboats. They have no prior experience of huge sailing ships, but small rowing vessels were an everyday part of their life. Rowboats fit their model of the world but huge ships did not.Their model determined their perceptions. Our ideas that science proceeds on an utterly objective and straightforward basis ignores the distortions of reality imposed by our own perceptual apparatus. In many cases we see what we have been trained to see, what we are used to seeing. If a subject is fitted with special glasses that are designed to invert the visual field, at first the subject sees everything upside down. After a period of time, as the glasses continue to be worn, a correction is made by our perceptual mechanism and the image is flipped, so that the world once again appears erect. What is the main idea of the passage? A．The research methods used by scientists. B．Observation and human perception variation. C．The relation between hypothesis and observation. D．The human perceptual mechanism.
6、根據(jù)材料，完成題。 Memory Test 1. "I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school, " promised lecturer an Robinson to a hundred school children. He slapped his hand down on the table. "When I've finished in two hours'time, your work will be far more effective and productive. Anyone not interested, leave now." The entire room sat still. 2. Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician ( 魔術(shù)師 ) .He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible, and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery ( 騙術(shù) ) . "l have always been interested in tricks involving memory being able to reel off ( 一口氣說出) the order of cards in a pack, that sort of thing." he explains. 3. Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory techniques even more valuable. "It wasn't difficult area to move into, as the stuff's all there in books." So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques. 4. "You want to learn a list of a hundred things? A thousand? No problem, " says Robinson. The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life. The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant. "I wish I'd been told this earlier, " commented Mark, after Robinson had shown them how to construct "mental journeys" . 5. Essentially, you visualize (想象) a walk down a street, or a trip round a room, and pick the points where you will put the things you want to remember the lamppost, the fruit bowl. Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs, historical dates, whatever making them as strange as possible.It is that simple, and it works. 6. The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic. "The pupils benefited enormously from his presentation, " says Dr. Johnston, head of the school where Robinson was speaking. "ideally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually." Paragraph 2__________. A．Good results B．An ancient skill C．Gaining attention D．Memory tricks E．A lecture on memory techniques F．Ways to improve memory
7、Most nurses are women, but in the higher ranks of the medical profession women are in a small number. A．scarcity B．minority C．minimum D．shortage
8、Thank you for applying for a position with our firm. We do not have any openings at this time, but we shall keep your application on archive for two months. A．pile B．segment C．sequence D．file
