PP-test1-reading 第14篇 Q144 and Q154

[訪客]

The most profound mystery confronting physics
at the end of the twentieth century is neatly captured
in a Charles Addams cartoon that appeared in The
New Yorker magazine in 1940. The setting is a winter
landscape. An eerie light casts long shadows upon
the pristine snow. In the foreground a crouching skier
speeds down a hillside leaving twin tracks that trail
up the slope behind him, diverge to pass on opposite
sides of an enormous pine tree, then rejoin to continue
on in normal, parallel fashion. Another skier looks on
in amazement.
The power of the cartoon derives from the
contrast between what our eyes can plainly see and
what our brains know to be impossible. If, instead of
a skier, Addams had depicted something altogether
different --- an avalanche, say, or better yet, a mountain
stream ---no one would give the scene a second
thought. There is nothing strange about a current of
water flowing around a tree and reconstituting itself on
the other side. But for a solid object to pass through
an impenetrable barrier is impossible.
It is impossible in our macroscopic, everyday
world, but in the realm of atoms, where quantum
mechanics reigns, the rules are different. It is
normal for an atomic particle to occupy two places
at once, to tunnel through a barrier, or to circumvent
an obstacle on both sides at once. For this reason the
Addams cartoon has an immediate appeal to
physicists. It tends to be shown to lighten the mood
at the beginning of difficult technical lectures about
quantum interference and at the end of summary
talks on modern developments in atomic physics,
as a visual aid to ease the audience's transition
back to the real world. The picture has even been
reprinted in a scholarly journal with a paper about the
experimental investigation of wave-particle duality.
Scientific audiences respond instantly to the uncanny
precision with which Addams has unintentionally
captured the dilemma of quantum theory: If atoms
obey strange rules and we are made of atoms, why
don't we follow the same rules?


144. What is the mystery referred to in the
passage?

まA.What triggers avalanches
まB.What atoms are composed of
まC.Why solid objects behave
differently from the atoms
they are composed of
まD.How cartoons operate to
increase scientific
understanding

Ans: C

154. Which of the following can be inferred
about the mystery discussed in the
passage?

まA.Charles Addams solved it.
まB.It has not yet been solved.
まC.Physicists are no longer
interested in solving it.
まD.The phenomenon involved in it
does not really exist.


Ans:B

這兩題我都無法從文中maping
可以告訴我可從文章的哪一句推出嗎??

mikelee兄
如果要mapping的話
要講一下你問的題目是這一整篇中的第幾題
(144.是第一題嗎?, 154.是最後一題嗎?)
144.要看完整篇,然後用刪去法
154.我是看最後一句選出來的

mapping這件事主要是幫助加強解題速度
如果可以選得出來
卻無法理解自己為何選出來的(XD)
其實真的不用太在意定位與順序的問題啦:P
這篇文章也不是典型的寫法呀
(第一段沒有立即進入主題)

144.要看完整篇,然後用刪去法

贊成用刪去法

154.我是看最後一句選出來的

頓悟,感恩!!!

請問為什麼Q154不能選擇D這各答案?
先謝謝回答嚕~~
