Five-year working experience.BConcepts from science and nature are filled with our languages common phrases, idioms and spoken expressions. The unbeli
35、eving expression “Well, Ill be a monkeys uncle” has its origin in bitter disbelief over Darwins writings on evolution. These colourful expressions bring spice (趣味) to our language.Yet certain well-used phrases from science are just plain wrong! Some are obvious, yet we use them anyhow. For example,
36、a person who acutely shakes her head and says “A watched pot never boils” while you are waiting second after tiring second for test results to arrive or job offers to come in knows that if she sat down and watched a pot containing water on a stove over high heat for long enough, the water will event
37、ually boil. However, a few phrases have less obvious scientific inaccuracies. Here are a few for you to 6consider. Once in a blue moon: This poetic phrase refers to something that occurs extremely rarely. A blue moon is the term commonly used for a second full moon that occasionally appears in a sin
38、gle month of our solar-based calendars. The problem with the phrase, however, is that blue moons are not so rare. They happen every few years at least, and can even happen within months of each other when the 29.5-day lunar cycle puts the full moon at the beginning of any month but February. The usa
39、ge of “blue moon” as the second full moon in a month dates back to a 1937 Marine Farmers Almanac. But before that, blue moons meant something slightly different. Typically, 12 full moons occur from winter solstice to the next winter solstice, but occasionally a fourth full moon in a season could be
40、observed. In such a case, one of the four full moons in that season was known as “blue”.Where theres smoke, theres fire: The phrase means that if something looks wrong, it likely is wrong. But lets step back. Do you always have to have fire if you see smoke? Answering that first requires defining “f
41、ire”, Merriam-Websters first definition of fire is “the phenomenon of combustion manifested in light, flame and heat”. Combustion is the chemical reaction that occurs when fuel is burned in the presence of oxygendenying a fire any of these three things will stop the fire; attempting to start a fire
42、without any one of the three things will be impossible. In complete combustionwhat occurs when you light a gas stove the fire produces no smoke. However, when most materials are burned, they have incomplete combustion, which means that the fire isnt able to completely burn all of the fuel . Smoke, t
43、hen, can be considered to be a product of pyrolysis (高温分解 ) rather than of fire itself. Youre probably thinkingso what? To get the smoke, a fire needed to be present at some point, right? Not always.Diamonds are forever: Thanks to the DeBeers slogan , decorating your honeys neck, wrists and fingers
44、with diamonds means true and timeless love. Of course, no object that you can hold in your hand can last forever. But diamonds have a special reason for being incapable of timelessness. Without the extreme pressures of the deep Earth where they formed, a diamond will slowly turn back into graphite (
45、石墨), which is why the older a diamond is, the more inclusions its likely to have.What common phrases push your buttons when viewed under the microscope of science? Are you curious about the hidden knowledge of some “big” phrases ? Or perhaps you have the ability to uncover the secret of some unscien
46、tific phrases? Let us know!58. According to the passage, the blue moon _.A. appears at the beginning of a monthB. gains its modern meaning before 1937C. presents itself quite frequently sometimesD. can never be seen by people in February59. What can be concluded from the passage?A. The older a diamo

Smoke is a product of complete combustion.D. the less obvious scientific inaccuracies of some phrases make them more useful.60. The underlined phrase “push your buttons” in the last paragraph means “_”.A. impress
48、you a lot B. frighten you much.C. surprise you greatly D. make you lose your interest761. The authors attitude towards the scientific inaccuracies of the phrases is _.A. indifferent B. objective C. critical D. favorable CIn 1851, Auguste Comte, the French philosopher and father of sociology, coined
49、the new word altruism as part of a drive to create a non-religious religion based on scientific principles. He defined it as “intentional action for the welfare of others that involves at least the possibility of either no benefit or a loss to the actor”. At that time, studies of animal behavior and phrenology (颅相学 ) led him
