Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism and gravitation: their effects can be measured and predicted but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish brown gum. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really” are. “Electricity”, Bertrand Russell says, “is not a thing like St. Pauls Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle for example whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principal that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because thats where they belong and smoke goes up because thats where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modem science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.1.The aim of controlled scientific experiment is （ ）.2.What principals most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?3.Bertrand Russells notion about electricity is （ ）.4.The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea （ ）.5.Modem science came into being （ ）.问题1选项A.to explain why things happenB.to explain how things happenC.to describe self-evident principlesD.to support Aristotelian science问题2选项A.The influence of St. PaulsB.The forces of electricity magnetism and gravityC.Aristotles natural scienceD.Galileos discoveries.问题3选项A.disapproved of by most modem scientistsB.in agreement with Aristotles theory of self-evident principlesC.in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how” things happenD.in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “why” things happen问题4选项A.that there are mysterious forces in the universeB.that man cannot discover what forces “really” areC.that there are self-evident principalsD.that we can discover why things behave as they do问题5选项A.when the method of controlled experiment was first introducedB.when Galileo succeeded in explaining how things happenC.when Aristotelian scientists tried to explain why things happenD.when scientists were able to acquire an understanding of reality【答案】第1题:B第2题:C第3题:C第4题:B第5题:A【解析】1.细节理解题。根据文章最后一句，“Modem science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.”，可知现代科学诞生于伽利略开始解释
