SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: Since the outbreak of WWI, Einstein was opposed to war, and used his notoriety to lecture against it during the 1920s and 1930s. With the rise of National Socialism in Germany in the early 1930s, Einstein's position became difficult. Although he was a renewed German citizen, the two social movements which received his full support were Pacifism and Zionism. When Hitler came to power, Einstein decided to leave Germany for the United States in anticipation of Nazi persecution. He took a position at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, while he continued public support of Pacifist and Zionist goals which made him the target of vicious attacks by anti-semitic and right-wing elements in Germany. In addition he was demanded as a speaker and wrote extensively on many topics, especially on peace. The growing fascism and anti-semiticism of Hitler's regime convinced Einstein to sign his name to a letter written by American physicist Leo Szilard informing President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the possibility of an atomic bomb. This letter led the formation of the Manhattan Project for the world's first nuclear weapons. Einstein himself did not participate in the project. We can only assume that this was due to ethical concerns.
Why did Einstein leave Germany when Hitler came to power?
A.Because he had been persecuted all the time.
B.Because he anticipated Nazi persecution.
C.Because he wanted to go to support Zionism.
D.Because he was in a very difficult position.
The founder of quantum mechanics (量子力学) and the inventor of the uncertainty principle, Werner Heisenberg was born in Wurzburg and brought up in Munich, where he entered the university in 1920 to study physics under Arnold Sommerfeld. After a brief stay at Gottingen University, he moved to Copenhagen to pursue research under Niels Boho and remained there until 1927.
After 1913 the quantum theory made considerable progress, but by 1924 it was running out of steam, largely owing to its lack of a coherent and systematic mathematical foundation, In the summer of 1925 Heisenberg discovered the foundation of just such a mechanics. Then his theory was rapidly developed by Max Born, Pascual Jordan, and P. A. M. Dirac.
In the spring of 1927, while a lecture at Boho’s insititute, Heisenberg followed up his discovery of the uncertainty relations, which are of central importance in quantum mechanics.
Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932 for his contribution to the development of quantum mechanics. From 1927 to 1941 he was professor of theoretical physics at the University of Leipzig. Although privately unsympathetic to the Nazi regime he remained in Germany throughout the Second World War, seeing it as his duty to work for the preservation of German physics and its future reconstruction. From 1941 to 1945 he was Director of the Kiser Wihelm Institute for Physics at Berlin, where he worked with Otto Hahn on the development of a nuclear reactor. After the wax he be came Director of the Max Planck Institute for Physics and played a prominent part in the promotion of scientific research in Germany.
Heisenberg has an important part in 20th century thought: the notion of uncertainty which he introduced is, like Einstein’s concept of relativity, one of the major idea of the century; it has changed not only physics but our entire world picture.
When was the firm foundation of quantum theory laid?
A.In 1913.
B.In 1924.
C.In 1925.
D.In 1927.
A.malicious
B.brutish
C.benign
D.obedient
A: exceeds
B; excellent
C; excels
