Science is a dominant theme in our culture. Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some acquaintance with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist.
This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person whose acquaintance with science is superficial; for the person who has been presented with 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 to 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. 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 are 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 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 uses 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 acknowledgment 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 shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a grim and dreary way to earn a living.

寫作方法與文章大意
這是一篇書的序言,作者用夾敘夾議的寫作方法介紹了書的涉及面及其功能。首先提出科學是我們文化的重大主題,但人們也該瞭解科學家生活的亞文化羣,只有懂得一些激勵和挫傷科學家的.種種情況,才能理解科學的一般特徵及其特殊概念。第二方面指出書的讀者對象是對科學一知半解的學生及門外漢。書可作理工科課程的輔助(補充)讀物,又可獨立自成體系。它可開闊人們科學的視野,真正瞭解科學、科學家及其工作,理解科學和文化的關係,科學觀點和哲學的關係。第三方面指出亞文化羣中婦女增多,貢獻巨大,而我們的語言卻隱含這性別的歧視,難以充分平等地反映婦女。最後指出書信息量大又具娛樂性,寓教於樂。
答案詳解
1. C 科學社區。答案在第一段第二句,人們也該瞭解科學家生活在其中的亞文化羣以及他們是什麼樣的人。第三段又講到,有關科學社區的畫面以及婦女對科學亞文化的貢獻。可見科學社區即亞文化。
A. 科學家所組成種種文化羣體。
B. 科學知識有限的一些人。
C. 對科學作出很大貢獻的人。
2.B 因爲科學幾乎影響到我們生活的各個方面。文章開綜明旨點出:科學是我們文化中的重要主題,由於它幾乎涉及到我們生活的每一方面,有知識的人至少需要熟悉一些結構和作用。
A. 瞭解激發和挫傷科學家的事情可不太容易。(比較難)
C. 科學家生活在特定的亞文化羣中。
D. 瞭解科學的一般特性比較容易。
3.A 不太瞭解科學的大學生或門外漢。第二段首句就點出了這本書爲對科學一知半解的大學生和門外漢所寫,爲某些人,一直把科學看作乾巴巴的事實堆砌的發黴的石屋的人;爲那種把科學的主要目的視爲生產小配件的人;爲那些把科學視爲某種魔術的人而寫。這說明主要爲A項人所寫,對科學瞭解不多的大學生和普通人。
B. 善於生產各種小配件。
C. 在乾巴巴的事實堆砌的石屋中工作。
D. 相對科學有膚淺瞭解的人。
4.D 不應當用陽性的名詞和代詞去指科學家。第三段集中講了這本書提供精確而又現代的有關科學社區(社會)和居住在其中的人的畫卷。近年來,越來越多的婦女包括進來,原因是許多婦女進入傳統上爲男人統治的領域,並作出巨大貢獻,所以婦女在科學亞文化羣中的增多並不是罕見的偶然事件,而是社會各部門明顯趨勢的組成部分。在討論其變化和貢獻時,我們面臨着隱含性別歧視的語言――用陽性名詞和代詞來指未指定人物,爲了消除這種偏頗,我們在可能和必要時採用了複數名詞和代詞來取代他或她。
A. 英語是一種性別語言。
B. 只有在科學領域中,婦女的作用增長很快。
C. 婦女在曉民我們語言中的不適當性作出了巨大的貢獻。根據此題註釋說明這三項都不對。英語不能說成是有性別的語言,其中雖有些詞性表示男性或女性。文內明確指科學界婦女增多是整個社會的趨勢的組成部分。由於婦女在科學界的貢獻,所以不能再用陽性名詞或代詞去指科學界,並不是在消滅語言……
5.B 書的前言,見文章大意。
A. 書的評論。
C. 書跋、書的附錄。
D. 書的結論部分。
