Since it touches almost every field of our life, educated people need at least some knowledge with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the scientific_subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific ideas is easier to obtain if one knows something about the things that excite and discourage the scientist.This book is written for the person whose knowledge with science is not complete; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty (发霉的) storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of tricks; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. The book can be used to add to a course in any science, to come with any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or simply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader view on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an idea and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. Besides, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies (哲学) that are deep in our culture.We have tried to present in this book a correct and uptodate picture of the scientific world and the people who populate it. That population has in recent years come to include more and more women. This increasing role of women is not just the only event but, rather, part of the trend obvious in all parts of society, as more women enter traditionally malecontrolled fields and make influential contributions.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our method is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldnt take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a cruel and unpleasant way to earn a living.1According to the passage，“scientific subculture” means “_”Acomplex situationBscientific societyCtechnical groups Dknowledge system解析：选B推理判断题。从第一段第三句“in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are”及下文的叙述可得出答案。2The book mentioned in this passage is written for readers who _.Ahave a misunderstanding about scienceBare scientists making influential contributionsCwant to break the malecontrolled worldDwant to have a little understanding of science解析：选A细节理解题。从文中第二段第一句“This book is written for the person whose knowledge with science is not complete.”可知。3This passage most probably is _.Athe introduction of a bookBthe information added to a bookCthe concluding part of a bookDthe review of a book解析：选A推理判断题。从内容来看，本文是一本书的序言。本文主要对一本书及其内容及作者写此书的主要意图作了叙述。4According to the passage, we can infer that the book probably is _.Aserious BhumorousCinteresting Drealistic解析：选C推理判断题。根据对这本书的介绍可知它有可能很有趣。BReuel Tolkien (18921973), the British linguist, writer.
