    Mad Scientist Stereotype Outdated

    Do people still imagine a physicist as a bearded man in glasses or has the image of the
    mad scientist changed?The Institute of Physics set out to find out whether the stereotype of
    a physics"boffin"(科学家)still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London. The
    people were asked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible
    suspects.98 percent of those asked got it wrong.The majority of people picked a white
    male of around 60,wearing glasses and with a white beard.
    While this stereotype may have been the image of an average physicist fifty years ago,
    the reality is now very different. Since 1 960 the number of young women entering physics
    has doubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31.
    The stereotype of the absent-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media
    and Hollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by
    blackboards full of equations(等式)or working with fizzing(嘶嘶响)test tubes. These
    stereotypes are really damaging to society.Very good school children are put off studying
    science because they don't see people like themselves on television or in magazines doing
    science.They simply don't relate to the media's image of the mad scientist.
    This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university.If
    we want to encourage more young people to study science subjects,we need to change
    this image of the scientist and make science careers more attractive.But we must also
    develop children's interest in science.
    In an attempt to change this negative image,an increasing number of science festivals
    are being organized.Thousands of people from secondary schools are also encouraged to
    take part in nationwide science competitions of which the most popular are the national
    science Olympiads.Winning national teams then get the opportunity to take part in the
    International Science Olympiads which are held in a different country every year.These
    events are all interesting for the young people who take part but they only involve a small
    proportion of students who are already interested in science.It seems that there is a long
    way to go before science becomes attractive as subjects like computer studies or fashion
    and design.

    More children will study science if it becomes more attractive.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college.Students without experience can catch up after a fewi ntroductory courses,said Tom Cortina,the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.However,Cortina said,early exposure is beneficial.When younger kids learn computer science,they learn that it’s not just a confusing,endless string of letters and numbers—but a tool to build apps,or create artwork,or test hypotheses.It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students.Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal.Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap,Cortinasaid.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college,where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim,which candrivet heless-experiencedor-determined students away.The Flatiron School,where people pay to learn programming,started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change.The high-schoolers get the same curriculum,but“we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,”said Victoria Friedman,an instructor.For instance,one of the apps the students aredevelopingsuggestsmoviesbasedonyourmood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook.Programming languages have a quick turnover,so the“Ruby on Rails”language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market.But the skills they learn—how to think logically through a problem and organize the results—apply to any coding language,said Deborah Seehorn,an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed,the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all.But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes.These kids are going to be surrounded by computers—in their pockets,in their offices,in their homes—forthe rest of their lives.The younger they learn how computers think,how to coax the machine into producing what they want—the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that—the better.
    Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to____.

    A.complete future job training
    B.remodel the way of thinking
    C.formula telogical hypotheses
    D.perfect artwork production

    答案:B

  • 第7题:

    Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people.
    Furthermore, some of the most successful films in recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
    It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but it can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
    Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known
    authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future world which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obviously political undertones.
    In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.

    According to the passage, we know that查看材料

    A.science fiction is a fairly new development in literature
    B.the history of science fiction is less than a hundred years
    C.the science fiction in the past is more popular than modern science fiction
    D.modern science fiction usually has obviously political undertones

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据文章第三段最后一句,“Because of this their writing has obviously political under—tones”可知,科幻小说家的创作会有很鲜明的政治底色,故D正确。文中第二段第一句说科幻小说经常被认为是一个很新的文学形式,但是在数百年前就可以找到科幻小说,所以A项不对;根据文章第二段第一句,文中说的是“hundreds of years ago(成百上千年前)”,不是“less than a hundred years”,所以B项不对;对于C项,文章第一段说现在科幻小说很流行,并没有比较科幻小说在现在还是在过去更出名。故选D。

    Classes at American College  The year at an American college is divided into 2 semesters or 3 quarters. Semesters are 15 weeks; quarters are 10 weeks. American college students usually attend school from September to May. Occasionally their academic pursuits extend into the summer.  Students choose their classes a few weeks prior to the start of each term. Universities offer a great many classes in the students’ main area of study and in other areas as well. Students must take both. These include science, mathematics, computer, history and English. Other classes may be just for fun, like dance, theater or sports. Tests usually are given in the middle of the term and at the end3. The final examinations are extremely important. In some classes, the professor asks the students to write a research paper or complete a certain task instead of taking a test.  Classes usually are organized through lectures. For example, a student may attend 2 or 3 lectures a week by the professor. As many as several hundred students sit at each lecture. Sometimes they also attend a smaller class to ask questions and discuss what the professor says4. These small classes are taught by professor’s assistants. In science classes, students also have a long laboratory class each week.  What do American students study at college?
