Science has a lot of uses. It can reveal (揭示) laws of nature, cure diseases, ma

17、ke bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal, The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in

18、a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has s

19、cience revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of subjects. Because of this, you might expect the book to cover a variety of facts. But Brooks has structured

20、 his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the readers attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear abo

21、ut the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brookss story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, so

22、me chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brookss attempt to t

23、ranslate his tale into science.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。 (1)The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to _. A、show the value of Brookss new bookB、show where science can be appliedC、remind the reader of the importance of scienceD、explain why many writers use

24、 science in their works(2)According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book? A、Its clear writing.B、Its convincing points.C、Its strong characters.D、Its strong basis.(3)What is the authors general attitude towards the book? A、Cautious.B、Critical.C、Contradictory(矛盾的).D、Sup

25、portive.参考答案：（1）D（2）A（3）B 本文是一篇议论文。文章先列举出科学的许多功能，接着指出科学有巨大的诱惑力，以致许多作家抵挡不住这种诱惑，在文学作品中运用到科学。并以Brooks的新书The social animal为例，批判地分析这本书的优势和不足。（1）D 推理判断题。首段第一、二句首先列举出科学的许多功能，接着指出科学有巨大的诱惑力，以致许多作家抵挡不住这种诱惑，在文学作品中运用到科学。故选D项。（2）A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand o

26、ut above the rest. I enjoyed, ”可知，作者认为写作思路清晰是这本书的一大优势。故选A项。（3）B 推理判断题。最后一段中的链接词“while”之前是这本书的优势，其后作者指出了其不足。因此作者对这部书持批判的态度。故选B项。【点评】推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推

27、断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。【小题2】A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“, his writing is mostly clear and , to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, ”可知，作者认为写作思路清晰是这本书的一大优势。故选A项。 18. Karen, one of my co-workers, complained about her apartment every day. One day I asked her why she didnt look for another apart

28、ment. It seemed like an easy solution to me. Karens reply to this was, “I will look for another apartment when I come back from vacation.” Sam hated his job. He had a love for photography and was currently taking a two-year course to obtain his certificate. Every night he complained about his work.

29、I asked him why he didnt finish his course and start a small business doing photography on the weekends. His reply was, “If only I had more time to finish my course. When I finish my course I will start a business.”Harry worked for a company that allowed early retirement. He had both the years of se

30、rvice and his age, which allowed him to retire, but at a reduced pension. He was having difficulty coping with all the changes that were being made in his work. I was worried about the stress of his job and the effects it was having on his health. “Why dont you retire, Harry? Do something that you h

31、ave always wanted to do?” I asked. Harrys reply to my question was, “If only I was older then I would get my full pension.” “But Harry, you have your house paid off. You have no bills, and the kids are grown up. You can sell your house and get a smaller one. Its really not worth your health, is it?

32、Harry then said, “When the summer comes, maybe I will.”Now a year later, Karen is still living in the apartment she hates! Sam is still complaining about his job! Harry is still working and his health is not what it used to be! These people had a lot of stress in their lives that they could have taken action to reduce. But all of them defeated themselves by thinking “if” or “when”. Life is too short for “ifs and whens”. The next time you are in a stressful situation and you find yourself saying or thinking “if or when”, remember the sayin
