DAY3 第三天的总结作业 1.阅读本身:科学简史有大量生词,对于还未过四级的大一生来说有点吃力,第一遍用了近一小时,对的有点吃力,不过由于是理科生,对于内容都能猜出个大概。第二天再反复阅读时感觉很轻松,生词差不多都熟悉起来,再之后在读懂文章的前提下,又摸清了文章的逻辑和结构,开始琢磨作者为什么要这么写,这么写逻辑会不会通。第三天再阅读,似乎理解了阅读记词汇的好处与乐趣,似乎阅读过程中,学到知识加深对事物的理解才是最主要的,而那些关于词汇、句法的东西充其量只是附带品。
2.关于文章本身:什么是科学呢?科学就是观察,假设再论证,以给事物一个理性的解释,而这种发展的趋势不会停止,虽然理论随时有可能被推翻,但随着新的理论其适用性越来越广,正如相对论所能解释万有引力所触及不到的地方如高速运动的物体,所以科学的发展便是一个企图无限接近真理的过程。而理论的不断继承与发展,便是一个团结协作的过程。祛魅,不断地挑战权威,不断地质疑自己,文章讲的无非就是这个道理。
【笃学奖-科学简史-A16904-甘比精读】3.对于文中的Birth of modern science,这种遵循时间顺序描述的过程,感觉会有点乱,还要自己去梳理不同学科的发展过程。我觉得如果在这一部分按照学科分类,先讲物理的发展,再讲化学,最后讲生物会比较好。
