13.What is the professor's attitude about light pollution in cities?
A. He feels that it should be carefully regulated.
B. He believes it is unfortunate
C. He thinks astronomers have not done enough to address the issue.
D. He believes that the severity of the problem is often exaggerated.
为什么选B,网上答案都说定位在it is price for development,huh? 怎么体现出这是不幸运?
我自己选的是D,个人认为教授在全文中说还有其他因素,eg 有些星不emit light,在没shield的地方能看到星,感觉教授觉得这个现象很正常,人们有点小题大做。
Make a judgement by texts,never by sense
题号13,也就是leacture2的topic题之后的第一道题,归类->细节题
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prof在开始的时候说:So how many of you have seen the Milky Way, the Milky Galaxy in the sky? You, you have?
Stu:Blablabla..(大致意思Yes, I have)
Prof:Anybody else? Not too many. Isn’t that strange that the Milky Way is the galaxy that the planet earth is in, and most of us have never seen it? Now, what’s the problem here?
......
Prof:It is basically beyond control, as far as expecting to view the night sky anywhere near city, I mean. I have lived around here my whole life. And I have never seen the Milky Way within city limits, and I probably never will. There is a price for progress, eh?
But let’s think beyond light pollution, that’s only one kind of a technological advance that has interfered with astronomical research.
------------------------------------------------------
为什么不选D:虽然教授在全文中说还有其他因素使得城市里看不到milky way,但是城市里看不到milky way是一个事实,教授没有评论这个事实到底严不严重,而且在stu:So the problem is pretty widespread.的时候还说了It is basically beyond control,也就是说教授很可能是觉得严重的.但至少文中没有听到pro觉得这一现象无可厚非的意思.
为什么不选A:should be regulated 和 beyond regulation是不一样的,前面说的是我们要打土豪分田地了,后面说的是XXX超过(达到)土豪的标准了.
为什么选B:在一开始的时候我是注意到了靠前的Not too many, strange和problem,注意lecture里面的奇奇怪怪的、错了的、有问题的通常都是考点,很多时候lecture就是围绕这些展开的,因为我们去到NA就是这些stu,很多时候傻傻笨笨搞不清.
Well,说回来,再往后面看,I have lived around here my whole life. And I have never seen the Milky Way within city limits, and I probably never will.特别注意对比:whole, never.一辈子在城市里=(在城市里)以前没看到银河, 以后也别想看到了.这不就是unfortunate?
