What did Olaus Roemer notice in 1676?A.The varying length of time it takes for the moons of Jupiter to be eclipses.B.The varying length of time it takes for light to travel from Jupiter to Earth.C.The apparently changing position of the star

16、 Draconis during the year.D.The value is not accurate enough.答案:A聽力原文14-16 The first successful measurement of vacuum c was made by Olaus Roemer in 1676. He noticed that the time between the eclipses of the moons of Jupiter was less as the distance away from Earth is decreasing than when it is incre

17、asing. He correctly deduced that this is due to the varying length of time it takes for light to travel from Jupiter to Earth as the distance changes. He obtained a value equivalent to 214 000 km/s, which was very approximate, because planetary distances were not accurately known at that time. In 17

18、28 James Bradley made another estimate by observing star deviation: the apparent displacement of stars due to the motion of the Earth around the Sun. He observed the star Draconis and found that its apparent position changed during the year. All star positions are affected equally in this way. This

19、distinguishes the effect from vision tolerance, which affects nearby stars more noticeably. A useful analogy to help understand deviation is to imagine the effect of motion on the angle at which rain falls. If you stand still in the rain when there is no wind it comes down vertically on your head. I

20、f you run through the rain it appears to come at you from an angle and hit you on the front. Bradley measured this angle for starlight. Knowing the speed of the Earth around the Sun he found a value for the speed of light of 301 000 km/s. The first measurement of c on Earth was by Armand Fizeau in 1

21、849. He used a beam of light reflected from a mirror 8km away. The beam passed through the gaps between teeth of a rapidly rotating wheel. The speed of the wheel was increased until the returning light passed through the next gap and could be seen. Then c was calculated to be 315 000 km/s. Leon Fouc

22、ault improved on this a year later by using rotating mirrors and got the much more accurate answer of 298 000 km/s. His technique was good enough to confirm that light travels slower in water than in air. 2. What estimate did James Bradley make?A.Stars are apparently displaced due to the motion of t

36、as impressed by his devotion to teaching. Because his lectures were always well prepared and clearly delivered, students swarmed into his classroom. His followers appreciated the fact that he believed in what he taught and that he was intellectually stimulating. Furthermore, he could be counted on t

37、o explain his ideas in an imaginative way, introducing such aids to understanding as paintings, recordings, pieces of sculpture, and guest lectures. Once he even sang a song in class to illustrate a point. Second, I admired the fact that he would confer with students outside of the classroom or talk

38、 with them on the telephone. Drinking coffee in the snack bar, he would challenge a student to a game of chess. At other times, he could join group to discuss subjects ranging from astronomy to scuba diving. Many young people visited him in his office for academic advice; others came to his room for

39、 social evenings. Finally, I was attracted by his lively wit. He believed that no class hour is a success unless the students and the professor share several chuckles and at least one loud laugh. Through his sense of humor, he made learning more enjoyable and more lasting. If it is true that life ma

40、kes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, then my friend is truly a wise man. Probably the best example of his wit is this bit of wisdom with which he once ended a lecture: It is as dangerous for man to model himself upon his invention, the machine, as it would be for God to model Himself upon His

What English language level are the readers of this book expected to have?答案:Fairly good本題答案也對(duì)應(yīng)于第3條標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中的第二句。其中在提到非英語專業(yè)的大學(xué)生讀者時(shí)，指出這些讀者要有a fairly good command of English；在提到其他普通讀者時(shí)，又指出他們要有fairly good comprehension of the language，由此可知本書對(duì)讀者英語水平的要求就是相當(dāng)好，故用fai

What does the speaker say the compilers of the book would welcome from the readers?答案:Suggestions and criticisms答案信息對(duì)應(yīng)于最后一段倒數(shù)第二句：we welcome suggestions and criticisms from our readers(我們歡迎讀者提出建議和批評(píng))。3.

45、rther/Study more/Make further study答案信息對(duì)應(yīng)于材料最后一句：.and has stimulated the reader to go further, and to study more.，即編者希望本書能激勵(lì)讀者進(jìn)一步學(xué)習(xí)。4. In general, what aspects of America are introduced into this book?答案:Society and culture/people材料的主旨段就是第一段。第一段在引入話題后用了個(gè)復(fù)雜句指出該書要向讀者介紹的內(nèi)容：It intends to give. overview

46、of present day American society; not only. American culture and. the American people。由分號(hào)前后明顯的并列關(guān)系可以看出，該書一是要為讀者介紹“今日的美國(guó)社會(huì)”；二是要介紹“美國(guó)文化”和“美國(guó)人民”。5. What kind of overview does the book intend to give about American society?答案:Concise and well-rounded聽力原文21-30 This book is an attempt to introduce the read

47、er to the United States. It intends to give a concise but fairly well rounded overview of present-day American society; not only a picture of surface phenomena, but insights into American culture and insights about the American people. Various aspects of American life are presented through articles

48、written mainly by Americans them selves, or by westerners familiar with the United States. Most were written by scholars or specialists on the topic of the field. A number of articles were written by sociologists. This gives a perspective that goes beyond the common articles written for the average

49、tourist, for the person with passing curiosity, or for the ordinary man-in-the-street. A number of articles were also selected with the idea of presenting different, sometimes conflicting, points of view about the same topic. This, it is hoped, will help the reader to gain better understanding and t

50、o help him draw his own conclusions. It should be stressed that the viewpoints of the various authors are not necessarily those of the compilers of this book. We may agree with all of some articles, only partially with others, and possibly disagree considerably with a few of the selections. To allow

51、 the reader to use his own judgement, we have generally kept the articles in their original form, If changes were made they were to make the language easier or to make tile articles more manageable for the reader. Most of the articles in this book were selected on the basis of the following criteria

52、: 1. Their suitability for giving accurate information about a topic or some aspect of the topic. These articles should help present a well-rounded picture of the whole. In this respect, we have sometimes given preference to an earlier article rather than a later one if the former gives a more insig

53、htful or more comprehensive treatment of the subject. 2. Their appeal to the ordinary reader. These articles should be authoritative and reliable, yet not too elementary. The contents should be of interest to most readers. 3. Their linguistic quality and degree of difficulty. The level for which the

54、se articles are intended is college students of English, other college students with a fairly good command of English, and the general readers interested in the US and with fairly good comprehension of the language. 4. Their general relevance to Chinese readers or Chinese society. These articles sho

55、uld have some general significance to China, either present or future, and not be totally irrelevant. Obviously no one book can give a completely comprehensive picture or description of such a vast and complex nation. Many readers may disagree with our choice of topics; most likely a number will say

56、 we have left out important ones. Many may feel we did not use our best judgement in selecting the articles. We must admit that we did not always agree among ourselves. We were further restricted by the limited amount of materials to choose from. Needless to say, we welcome suggestions and criticism

57、s from our readers. And in spite of all its shortcomings, if the book has helped the reader to gain some insight and understanding about the United States and its people and has stimulated the reader to go further, and to study more, then in a modest way this book will have accomplished much of what it was intended to do. 材料第一段第二句即指出：It intends to give a concise but fairly well-rounded overview of present-day American society(它旨在對(duì)今日的美國(guó)社會(huì)進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)要而全方位的概述)。由于有字?jǐn)?shù)限制，因此只要填入兩個(gè)修飾語concise and well-rounded即可。6.
