　　Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation***誘惑*** to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character，and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.

　　Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't?

　　To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines***學科***.Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox***非常規的***，and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points，perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development, and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.

　　On the whole，Brooks's story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance，the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks's attempt to translate his tale into science.

　　文章大意：本文講述了當今許多作家如布魯克斯喜歡往他們的書裡插入並不適用的科學理論，以增加書的吸引力，同時對其作品進行了評論。

　　9.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to________.

　　A.illustrate where science can be applied

　　B.demonstrate the value of Brooks's new book

　　C.remind the reader of the importance of science

　　D.explain why many writers use science in their works

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。根據文章第一段第三句及第四句可知，科學功能強大，以至於人們很容易將科學和那些與之無關的問題扯到一起，許多作家就沒能抵制住科學的誘惑而往他們的書裡插入科學理論。故選D項。

　　10.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?

　　A.Its strong basis. B.Its convincing points.

　　C.Its clear writing. D.Its memorable characters.

　　答案：C　細節理解題。根據文章最後一段第一句及第二句可知，布魯克斯的書缺乏創意但還能接受，公平地說，他的文章大部分很清楚，一些章節與其他章節相比脫穎而出。故一本書只要能清楚地敘述就是這本書的優勢，故選C項。

　　11.What is the author's general attitude towards the book?

　　A.Contradictory. B.Supportive.

　　C.Cautious. D.Critical.

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。根據文章最後一段第四句及第五句可知，布魯克斯對書中的主人公刻畫不夠深刻，部分更嚴重的問題在於他試圖將他的故事譯成科學語言。從作者的語氣可看出作者對該書持批判態度，故選D項。

　　12.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?

　　A.Problems with the book.

　　B.Brooks's life experiences.

　　C.Death of the characters.

　　D.Brooks's translation skills.

　　答案：A　推理判斷題。根據文章最後一段第五句可知，布魯克斯的書中部分更嚴重的問題在於他試圖將他的故事譯成科學語言，故接下來作者會闡述該書其他的問題。故選A項。

　　***四***由文章內容或結構判斷出處

　　Angie O'Edema　·42 minutes ago

　　I don't see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public.Don't do to others what you wouldn't like to be done to yourself.Once，a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone.I left my seat quietly，giving him some privacy to finish his conversation.He realised this and apologised to me.When his phone rang again later，he left his seat to answer it.You see，a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better.
