题目内容

    Notices have been put up here and there in the village for the last fortnight (两星期) announcing a meeting to discuss the yearly Flower Show, which has not been held in Fairacre for a number of years. Before I became the village school teacher here, the Flower Show appears to have been an event of some importance and people came from miles around to enjoy a day at Fairacre. It was normally held in a field at the side of the church.

    I decided to go to the meeting, as the children in my school, I knew, used to play quite a large part in this village excitement and there were a number of special competitions, such as collecting wild flowers, making dolls’ house decorations(装饰) or little gardens and so on, included in the program. Also, with the example of Mr. Annett’s gardening efforts at Beech Green in mind, I had been considering for some time a school garden of our own, and this village show should give our efforts additional encouragement.

1. The writer decided to go to the meeting because ________.

A．she had arranged it

B．Mr. Annett was going, too

C．She was interested in collecting wild flowers

D．a Flower Show might help to interest her students in making a garden of their own

2. What sort of things would the village children perhaps be interested in doing as part of the Flower Show?

A．Playing excitedly in the school garden and dolls’ house.

B．Picking and arranging flowers from other people’s gardens.

C．Going out in the countryside to pick flowers and making small gardens of their own.

D．Making a dolls’ house and decorating the school.

3. Why had notices been put up in the village?

A．Because Mr. Annett’s gardening efforts had made people consider holding a Flower Show at Fairacre.

B．In order for the Flower Show Committee to discuss next year’s Flower Show.

C．So the village school teacher could interest the children in gardening.

D．To see if the village people wanted to start holding a Flower Show again.

　　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(客观的)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．
