第三課認(rèn)識世界
今天,如何獲取知識、認(rèn)識世界,人人皆知。首先,我們需要問題。然后,為了尋找答案,我們觀察周圍的世界并研究相關(guān)事實。之后,我們思考可能的答案并逐個驗證,以找到正確答案。盡管我們現(xiàn)在更習(xí)慣于在搜索引擎中敲幾個關(guān)鍵詞,等待互聯(lián)網(wǎng)為我們提供答案,但當(dāng)代科學(xué)家、思想家仍采用這種分析方式來解決問題——我們應(yīng)該為此感到慶幸。Howdidpeopleacquireknowledgeandachieveunderstandinginthepast?(para2-3)FrancisBaconGalileoGalileiAristotlePeopleinthe17thcenturyCarefulReading:Readparagraphs2-3.Completethesentences.1FrancisBaconbelievedthatthewaytogainknowledgeis_________.Butmostpeopleinhisdaysbelieved_________________.2GalileoGalileiprovedthat_____________________________

17世紀(jì)時,弗朗西斯?培根(1561—1626)提出用這種思考方式獲取知識時,他的觀點卻與當(dāng)時的觀念背道而馳。盡管培根在英國國王詹姆斯的宮廷中位高權(quán)重,但他真正感興趣的不是政府日復(fù)一日、拖拉、低效的工作作風(fēng),而是那些值得探索的知識。當(dāng)然,探索知識并不是那個時代大多數(shù)人的興趣所在。Atthattime,peoplebelievedmoreinthechurchthaninfacts,andpeoplelikeGalileoGalilei(1564-1642),whoprovedtheideathat“theEarthisnotthecentreoftheuniverse”,wereoftenpunishedbythechurchwithnoonecomingtotheirdefence.Thechurchandmanypeopletendedtoignorethefactsanddidn’twanttochallengewhattheyhadalwayscomfortablybelieved.Infact,whenGalileiprovedthattheEarthwasnotthecentreoftheuniverse,insteadofbelievinghim,peoplechosetobelieveviewsthatwerealmost2,000yearsold!
那時人們相信教會勝過相信事實,像伽利略?伽利萊(1564—1642)那樣證明了“地球不是宇宙中心”的人物,往往會被教會懲罰,也沒有人會為他們辯護。教會和多數(shù)人一樣往往忽視事實,不愿意去挑戰(zhàn)自己一直以來相信的東西。事實上,當(dāng)伽利略證明地球不是宇宙的中心時,人們沒有選擇相信他,而寧愿相信2000年前的陳舊觀點!ReadingComprehension:(1)TrueorFalse①FrancisBaconthoughtitwasrighttoacquireknowledgebyanalysing.②InFrancisBacon’stimes,exploringknowledgewasverypopular.(2)What’stheveryfirststepofFrancisBacon’stypeofthinking?A.Raisingquestions.B.Observingtheworld.C.Thinkingoverthepossibleanswers.D.Testingforarightanswer.TF3Aristotle’sunderstandingoftheuniversewasthat________________________________________because______________________________________.4Itisstilloftentruetodaythat_______________________________________________________________________________.theEarthmustbethecentreoftheuniverseitfeltliketheEarthwasstandingstillpeopledon’twanttoabandonwhatthey’vealwaysthoughtastrueCarefulReading:

人們愿意相信偉大哲學(xué)家亞里士多德(公元前384—前322)提出的那些陳舊的觀點,這一點并不奇怪。亞里士多德堅信地球是宇宙的中心,因為人們感覺地球是靜止不動的。但伽利略卻不同意。起初人們認(rèn)可他的研究成果,催促他繼續(xù)研究,但是當(dāng)他證實亞里士多德有錯時,人們生氣了,并把他送進監(jiān)獄。Theydidn’twanttoabandonwhatthey’dalwaysthoughtastrue.Andthisisstilloftentruetoday.Peoplemaketheassumptionthatifsomeoneimportantandrespectedsaysthatsomethingisright,thenitmustbeso.ButeventhoughAristotlewasagreatmanwhoinspiredmanygreatscientistsandphilosophersafterhim,hewaswrongattimes.AndGalileialsomademistakes.HeisnowknownasthefatherofastronomybuthebelievedthattheEarthmovedroundthesuninaperfectcircle.Hewaswrong.
他們并不想放棄自己一直認(rèn)為正確的知識。如今這種現(xiàn)象也很常見。如果一個重要的、受人尊敬的人說某件事是對的,那么人們就會認(rèn)為這件事一定是對的。但即使是亞里士多德這樣曾鼓舞了無數(shù)科學(xué)家和哲學(xué)家的偉大人物,有時也會犯錯誤。伽利略自己也犯過錯誤。雖然他現(xiàn)在被稱為天文學(xué)之父,但他認(rèn)為地球繞太陽旋轉(zhuǎn)的軌跡是一個正圓。他錯了。ReadingComprehension:(1)TrueorFalse①Peopletendtobelieveeverythingthatthepersontheyrespectsays.②Galileiproved“theEarthisnotthecentreoftheuniverse”andhenevermademistakes.③PeoplebelievedhimimmediatelywhenGalileiprovedAristotlewrong.TFFReadparagraph4-5andexplore:Q1:Whatshouldwedowhenacquiringknowledge?Q2:Whatattitudeshouldwehavetowardsthegreatmanofthepast?Why?CarefulReading:Therefore,ourunderstandingoftheworldaroundusisconstantlygrowingandchanging.Inotherwords,welearnmoreeverydayandnoneofuscaneversitbackandsay,“Weknowitall.”Weneedtothankthegreatmenofthepastfortheirwisdom.Theyunderstoodthatwedon’tknoweverythingandprobablyneverwill,forthatwouldmeanaworldwithoutquestions.
因此,我們對周圍世界的認(rèn)識在不斷地增長、變化。換句話說,我們每天都在學(xué)習(xí)更多的知識,誰也不能停止學(xué)習(xí)并且說:“我什么都知道了?!蔽覀冃枰兄x先輩偉人的智慧。他們早就知道,人不可能什么都懂,而且或許永遠(yuǎn)都不會知道所有的事情,也就是說世界總是充滿問題的。ReadingComprehension:(1)TrueorFalse

我們對世界的認(rèn)識和理解,很大程度上要歸功于培根和伽利略這樣的人,正是他們勇敢地走出了傳統(tǒng)思想的陰影,才幫我們找到了構(gòu)建當(dāng)今文明的知識王國。這些偉人懂得,知識和對世界的認(rèn)識才是值得追求的;正如一些人所言,和全世界的金錢相比,這些對個人而言更重要,對全人類而言更有益。ReadingComprehension:(1)TrueorFalse①CivilizationisbuiltontheKingdomofknowledge(2)Whatdoesthelastsentenceinparagraph5mean?A.Knowledgeandunderstandingcanchangehumanhistory.B.Civilizationisbuiltonknowledgeandunderstanding.C.Knowledgeandunderstandingismoreimportantthanmoney.D.Somegreatpeople’sencouragementdetermineshumanfuture.TWhatdoyouthinkthelastsentenceofthepassagemeans?Thesemenknewthatknowledgeandunderstandingarethingstofightfor;morevitaltoaman,andmorebeneficialtomankind,somemightsay,thanallthemoneyintheworld.Ithinkthelastsentenceofthetextmeansthatknowledgeandunderstandingaremoreimportantthanmoney.Theyaremorehelpfulandusefulbecausetheycanguideourwaysoflearningabouttheworldandhelpussolveproblemsallthetimewhilemoneycanjustbuycertaingoodsandsolveproblemsforsometime.ReadandexploreUnderstandingCoherenceinContextSkillBuilderReadandexploreCoherenceinapieceofwritingreferstotheprinciplethatallparagraphs,sentencesorideasinitfittogethersowellthattheyformaunitedwhole.WhatisCoherence(連貫性)?UnderstandingCoherenceinContextSkillBuilderReadandexploreYesterdaymorning,Iwenttoabookstore.Allthefoodsontheshelfareveryfreshandcheap.Asmymothertooksomebeautifulpiecesoffurniturehome.WhenIcameoutofthemovietheatre,Ifoundithadsnowedintheafternoon.昨天早上,我去了書店。架子上的所有食物都很新鮮和便宜。因為我媽帶了很多漂亮的家具回家。當(dāng)我走出電影院,我發(fā)現(xiàn)中午下雪了。TheimportanceofCoherence?AnextremeexampleofanincoherentparagraphUnderstandingCoherenceinContextSkillBuilderReadandexploreUsefulcohesivedevices?Therepetitionofkeytermsorphrasesmakesmeaningcoherentinatext.Theuseofsynonymsandantonymshelpsenhancecoherenceinatext.Linkingwordssuchassince,so,afterwards,then,although,but,however,etc.canhelpconnectmeaningsinsentences.Pronounssuchashe,she,it,they,etc.helpcarrymeaningonintothenextpointinatext.
