问题 共用题干Stars in Their Eyes([ABCDEF]+.)(.*?)The Scientific American Book of the Cosmos edited by David Levy,Macmillan，￡20,ISBN 0333782933([ABCDEF]+.)(.*?)Previous generations of scientists would have killed to know what we know. For the first time in history,we have a pretty good idea of the material content of the Universe,our position within it and how the whole thing came into being.([ABCDEF]+.)(.*?)In these times of exploding knowledge there is a definite need to take stock and assemble what we know in a palatable（受欢迎的）form.______ (46)([ABCDEF]+.)(.*?)The essays in The Scientfic American Book of the Cosmos have been selected by David Levy, co-discoverer of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9,which in 1994 struck Jupiter with the violence of several full-scale nuclear wars.______(47)This is certainly a great collection of essays,but it is not , as the book promises , a seamless（完美的，无缝隙的）synthesis of our current knowledge.([ABCDEF]+.)(.*?)Nobody can fault the range of articles Levy has included.There are essays on the planets, moons and assorted debris（碎片）in the Solar System , and on our Galaxy , the Milky Way. ______(48)([ABCDEF]+.)(.*?)The contributors,too,are stars in their own fields.Not many books can boast chapters writ-ten by such giants as Erwin Schrodinger and Francis Crick.My personal favorites are a piercingly clear essay by Albert Einstein on general relativity and an article by Alan Guth and Paul Steinhardt on the inflationary（膨胀的）Universe.([ABCDEF]+.)(.*?)So much for the book's content. But Levy has not succeeded in providing an accurate synthe-sis of our current knowledge of the cosmos,which the book jacket promises.Gathering together previously published articles inevitably leaves subject gaps,missing explanations and so on. ______(49)But there isn't one.In fact,surprisingly for a book so densely packed with infor-mation,there is no index.([ABCDEF]+.)(.*?)Collecting essays in this way is clearly a good publishing wheeze（巧妙的主意）.But this approach shortchanges the public,who would be better served by an account moulded into a seamless whole.______(50)However,for the next edition,please,please can we have an index?
选项 ______ (46)A: Tegmark fears he may hold the record for the longest time taken to read one book.B: In a more positive vein,this is a wonderful collection of essays to dip in and out of if you already have a good overview（概述）of current cosmic understanding.C: Levy is an active astronomer and an accomplished writer,so you'd expect him to provide a broad and accurate picture of our current understanding of the cosmos.D: Scientific American has attempted to cater to this need by bringing together essays that have appeared in the magazine.E: To some extent , these could have been plugged with a glossary（词表）of terms.F: Also included are contributions on the world of subatomic particles,the origin of life on the Earth and the possibility of its existence elsewhere.
答案D
解析本文是一篇新书简介，介绍的是一本有关天文学的论文集。既然是一本新书简介，内容不外乎讲讲这本书的特点，作者的情况，有关内容介绍，本书的优缺点等。顺着这个思路，我们看第二段，此段第一句话说的是在知识爆炸的时代，人们都想读一本书就能了解很多的内容。接下来是一处空白。浏览后面的几个选项，发现选项D放入意思上讲得通，故选D。其实，从语法的角度也可作出判断。本段第一句话中有“a definite need”，选项D中有“this need”，透过信号词need就可很快做出答案。 此题出现在第三段中间。空格处前面提到本书是由David Levy选编的，按照正常的叙述，文章接下来应该介绍David Levy为何人，根据这个线索，我们发现选项C讲的是Levy是一位活跃的天文学家等。毫无疑问，选项C为正确答案。 此题出现在第四段。我们还是根据上下文来做此题。此段第一句话说没有人可以挑别Levy所选文章覆盖的范围。选文既有关于各种行星、月亮以及太阳系中各种碎片的，也有关于银河系的文章。根据第一句话中的included和选项F中的also included, 我们可以判断这几句话是不能分开的，因为介绍的都是选文的有关内容。 此题出现在第六段中。空格处前面的意思是：把以前出版的文章汇集在一起，必然会舍弃一些学科，省去一些解释等。选项E的意思是：这些东西可以放到术语表中。选项E中的these实际上指前面提到的那些被舍弃或省去的东西。把选项E放到空格处意思通顺。在做这类题目时，一定要通过上下文的意思和一些语法关系，如解释、指代、重复等来解决。 文章最后一段是对本书作的评价，在余下的两个选项中，只有选项B的意思放进原文才合适（属于对书的评论），故选B。
