【語篇解讀】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了科學(xué)的定義和年輕人對(duì)科學(xué)教育的一些認(rèn)知誤區(qū)，以及作

者認(rèn)為最好的教科學(xué)的方法。

24.D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“AHtoooften,youngpeoplegettheimpressionthatscience

whatwemakethemdoontests,toshowthatthey*vebeendoingthework.Butthat'snotitatall.

（年輕人時(shí)常認(rèn)為科學(xué)就是學(xué)習(xí)某些特定的“法則”,然后把它們應(yīng)用到不同的情況下。畢竟,

這是我們讓他們?cè)诳荚囍凶龅?，以表明他們一直在努力。但事?shí)并非如此）“可知，年輕人

的認(rèn)知誤區(qū)是認(rèn)為教科學(xué)就是教法則和驗(yàn)證法則，故選Do

25,C［解析］細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段Tfstudentshadtobuildtheirownmodelsfromthegroundup,

學(xué)習(xí)編程一樣。正如IsaacNewton所說，我們站在巨人的肩膀上。我們必須借鑒別人建立

的模式，并以此為基礎(chǔ)）”可知，作者認(rèn)為讓學(xué)生自己創(chuàng)建模型是件很難的事情，借鑒前人

已經(jīng)建立的模型讓學(xué)生一步步接觸、學(xué)習(xí)并效仿才是最好的方法。故選C。

26.D【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Ofcourse,wecan'tstartfromscratch.（我們當(dāng)然不能從頭

開始）”以及"Wcmusttakemodelsbuiltbyothersandgofromthere.（我們必須借鑒前人已經(jīng)建

立的模型并且從他們那里開始）''可知，作者反對(duì)讓學(xué)生平地筑高樓的方法,認(rèn)為難度過大。

而作者認(rèn)為最好的方式是借鑒前人，從前人的經(jīng)驗(yàn)出發(fā)進(jìn)行科研。牛頓的話意思是：我們

站在巨人的肩膀上，即我們擁有很多可以參考的前人的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和結(jié)論、理論模型能夠用來借

鑒?？赏浦?，作者引用牛頓的話是為了佐證自己的觀點(diǎn)。故選D。

27.A【解析】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“NOONEEVERsaidscienceeducationwaseasy.Certainly

正讓我們的嘗試復(fù)雜化的是，我們同時(shí)也在試圖教授更深刻的知識(shí)——幫助學(xué)生理解科學(xué)

作者認(rèn)為最好的教科學(xué)的方法。故A選項(xiàng)“教科學(xué)的最好方法”最符合文章標(biāo)題。故選A。
