13.Sometimes,people think they already know the answer to a question or a problem.Sometimes,they really do know an answer,but without thinking they are important.
Charles Darwin didn't just think he knew something.And,he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.
Charles Robert Darwin Suppose you drop pieces of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape.If you drop them at the same time in the same place,they will fall in the same way.Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other pieces.What happens?You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn't be worth anything.
But this simple experiment is important.It explains part of our present day understandings of physics(物理学)ideas that were worded out long ago by Galileo and Newton.And these understandings set asidesome of ancient Greek(古希腊)physics.
The scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them.Even the simplest idea,which we might think is foolish,can shake the foundations(基础) of science.
34.The passage tells us that Charles DarwinC.
A.was a great English scientist
B.always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult
C.thought even the simplest thing was important
D.didn't get along well with others
35.The underlined phrase"set aside"in Paragraph Five most probably means"A".
A.throw away
B.receive
C.help with
D.learn from

A.Darwin really did fools'experiments.
B.According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.
C.It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.

分析 作者以达尔文为例,告诉我们要留意身边的小事,要善于探索.
解答 34.C 推理判断题.短文并没有说Charles Darwin是哪个国家的科学家,可排除A; 由第一、二段可知别人认为Darwin的许多实验不值得做,可把B排除; 文中没有论述Darwin与别人相处的事,故选C.
35.A 词义猜测题.由上文可知作者认为做这个简单实验是重要的,它解释了目前人们对于物理方面的理解.这些理解推翻了一些希腊古典物理学的观点.由此可推知set aside与throw away同义.
36.D 主旨大意题.短文的最后一段点明最简单的事情都可能动摇科学的根基,意在告诉读者要留意身边的每一件事,哪怕它非常简单.
37.B 细节理解题.短文第一段第二句"Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?"明确告诉我们,有些人认为Darwin做了愚蠢的实验.
