英语阅读理解六篇及答案
第一篇
Long ago men learned that the world of nature is built with
mathematical exactness according to refined and powerful laws; every bee
stokes its wings exactly 440 times a second to propel itself forty miles an hour;
the eye of every fly has exactly 7,000 lenses; every spider’s thread is composed
of 300 single threads.
The progress of civilization itself can be measured by its range of
mathematics. The early Egyptians know enough of geometry to build the
pyramids and the Greeks used trigonometry to measure the circumference of
the earth two thousand years before Columbus sailed. European civilization
combined geometry and trigonometry with the decimal system of the Arabs to
produce the maps with which the European explored the world. In a later
century, mathematicians studied the pendulum(钟摆) of the newly invented
clock and created the language of calculus to measure motion.
The yardstick of measurement today must cover everything from units
tinier than atoms to distance of millions of light years. Speed and accuracy are
vital. Man can never send a rocket to Mars unless he knows the exact distance
1
to the planet. Since the slightest error could mean missing it by 30,000 miles. In
navigating amid the planets and stars, man must have the help of some kind of
machine calculators for fast and absolutely accurate information.
