6、As every physics student learns, there are four know forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, a “strong force” that binds atomic nuclei and a “week force” that governs certain types of radioactive decay. Last week researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory announced that they may have found the best evidence yet for a hypothetical, elusive “fifth force”. If confirmed, their findings could mean that Sir Issac Newton’s famous inverse-square law of gravity is in danger of losing the dignified position it has held for three centuries. “It’s like saying Mem and apple pie’s no good to anymore,” admits the leader of the gravity project, Geophysicist Mark Ander, “You just don’t do that lightly.” The physicists reached their conclusion as the result of an experiment conducted in Greenland last summer. They lowered a supersensitive meter into a mile-deep hole bored in glacial ice-chosen because its density is more uniform than that of rock- and monitored the gravity as the meter descended. What occurred was startling: the expected increase in gravitational force predicted by Newton was there, but it got stronger, faster than expected. Either something was enhancing the force of gravity or the researchers had come upon a heretofore unknown, far more complex working of gravity itself. Or, just possibly, they had made a mistake. The fifth force, if that is what it is, has been a source of debate among physicists since its existence was suggested in 1980 by Australian mineshaft experiments. Five years later. Purdue University Physics Professor E. Fischbach measured a weak force he called “hypercharge” and theorized that it caused object of different composition to fall at different rates. Since Fischbach ‘s finding, as many as 45 experiments have sprung up in search of the mystery force, and so for each has served only to confuse rather than clarify the issue, Jim Thomas, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology, praises the technical precision of Ander’s experiment, but cautions that measuring gravity in holes is inexact at best. He points out, for example, that an aberration in the earth’s crust might have caused the unusual measurements. “What we are talking about is the possible modification is needed before he accepts can’t be wrong!” What is Mark Ander’s attitudes towards the results of the Greenland experiment?（ ） 单选题 2分

13、Washington Irving was America’s first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in either country, delighting a large general public and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. The respect in which he was held was partly owing to the men himself, with his love of both the Old World and the New. Thachery described Irving as a “gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty, socially the equal of the most refined Europeans”. In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford- an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation—and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature; America made him ambassador to Spain, Irving’s background provides little to explain his literary achievement. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously. He was immune to his strict Presbyterian environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater What is the most proper comment on Irving? 简答题 2分
