【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Hey I just read a great book about physics. I think you'd like it. It's called The Physics of the World. It's written by a scientist named Sylvia Mendez. W: Oh I've read that book. It was great. The writer is a warm and competent guide to the mysteries of physics. I think it promises enrichment for any reader, from those who know little about science to the career physicist. M: And it's refreshing to see a strong, curious, clever woman adding her voice to the scientific discourse in a field that has been traditionally dominated by men. I think she has to be commended for making an effort to include anecdotes about little-known female scientists. You know they were often victims of 'a generation firmly convinced that the woman's place was in the home.' W: I like how the book is clearly written with each chapter brought to life by pieces of fascinating knowledge. For example, in one chapter she exposes a myth that I've heard taught by university physics professors. I've often heard that medieval glass windows are thicker at the bottom because glass 'flows' like a fluid. This, she shows, is not true. The distortion is actually thanks to a peculiarity of the glassmaker's process. M: Yeah, I like how she cultivates scientific engagement by providing a host of do-it-yourself experiments that bring the same foundational principles of classical physics that govern everything from the solar system to your kitchen table. From using complex laws of physics to test whether a spinning egg is cooked to measuring atmospheric pressure by lifting a piece of cardboard. Her hands-on examples make her book a truly interactive read. W: Yes I mast say this equation-free book is an ideal read for scientists of all stripes, anyone teaching science, and even people who dislike physics. What does the woman say about the book the man recommended? 对话开头，女十提及这本书为任何读者都提供了丰富内容，从对科学知之甚少的读者到职业物理学家。A项“它可以使专业人士和非专业人士同样受益”与此表述一致。 ①根据选项关键词physicists、physics以及books，推删题目可能与一本有关物理的书有关。②B项“它列出了物理学家面临的各种挑战”在录音中没有提及。录音中提到了mysteries of physics，但只是说作者是一位热情而能干的物理奥秘向导(a warm and competent guide)，并没有提到这本书描述了物理中的一些谜团是如何被解决的，故C项不选。D项“这是有史以来最引人入胜的物理书籍之一”利用了录音中的fascinating作干扰，录音中女士说的是她喜欢这本书中引人入胜的知识(pieces of fascinating knowledge)。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] How does the author bring her book to life? 女士说喜欢这本书写得如此清晰和生动，每一章都包含一些引人入胜的知识(with each chapter brought to life by pieces of fascinating knowledge)。C项复现该处录音内容，故为答案。 ①四个选项均为By+doing结构，推测本题问的是方法、途径或手段。②A项“通过揭露物理中的许多神话”利用后面举的例子“在其中一章中，她揭露了我听过大学物理教授讲的一个神话”设置干扰，这并不是作者把书写得如此生动的方式。B项“通过描述她自己的生活经历”在录音中未提及。D项“通过讲述著名教授的轶事”，录音中提到作者写的是鲜为人知的女科学家的轶事(anecdotes about little-known female scientists)，故D项错误。
