36、science as a musty storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of gadgets; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. The book can be used to supplement a course in any science, to accompany any course that attempts t
37、o give an understanding, of the modern world, or independently of any course simply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader perspective on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and. what they do.
38、It will give them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. In addition, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that a
39、re pervasive in our culture.We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people who populate it. That population has in recent years come to comprise more and more women. This increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not
40、 an unique incident but, rather, part of the trend evident in all segments of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions. In discussing these changes and contribution, however, we are faced with a language that is implicitly sexist, one that us
41、es male nouns or pronouns in referring to unspecified individuals. To offset this built-in bias, we have adopted the policy of using plural nouns and pronouns whenever possible and, when absolutely necessary, alternating he and she. This policy is far form being ideal, but it is at least an acknowle
42、dgment of the inadequacy of our language in treating half of the human race equally.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our approach is usually informal. We feel; as do many other scientists, that we shouldnt take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observ
43、e, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a grim and dreary way to earn a living.82 According to the passage, “scientific subculture“ means _.（A）cultural groups that are formed by scientists（B） people whose knowledge of science is very limited（C） the scientific community（D）people who
44、make good contribution to science83 We need to know something about the structure and operation of science because _.（A）it is not easy to understand the things that excite and frustrate scientists（B） Science affects almost every aspect of our life（C） Scientists live in a specific subculture（D）It is
45、easier to understand general characteristics of science84 The book mentioned in this passage is written for readers who _.（A）are intelligent college students and lay person who do not know much about science（B） are good at producing various gadgets（C） work in a storehouse of dried facts（D）want to ha
46、ve a superficial understanding of science85 According to this passage, _.（A）English is a sexist language（B） only in the scientific world is the role of women increasing rapidly（C） women are making significant contributions to eliminating the inadequacy of our language（D）male nouns or pronouns should
47、 not be used to refer to scientists85 Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths, while reality is fabulous. If men would steadily observe realities only, and not allow themselves to be deluded, life, to compare it with such things as we know, would be like a fairy tale and the Arabian Nig
48、hts Entertainments. If we respected only what is inevitable and has a right to he, music and poetry would resound along the streets. When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence,that petty fears and petty pleasure are but the
49、 shadow of reality. This is always exhilarating and sublime. By closing the eyes and slumbering, by consenting to be deceived by shows, men establish and confirm their daily life of routine and habit everywhere, which still is built on purely illusory foundation. Children, who play life, discern its true law and relations more clearly than men, who fail to li
