四、阅读理解
Poetry and science seem like opposites. Yet, if we look through our history, we'll see that navigating（理解） science through poetry is not a new concept. In fact, records of scientific poetry can date back to the late 1700s. English physician and naturalist Erasmus Darwin（Charles Darwin's grandfather） used poetry to celebrate scientific discoveries and inventions in The Botanic Garden, which he published in 1791. His book was well-received in Britain and the United States. In the next few decades, many European and North American poets followed his lead.
This relationship unfortunately became weak as literature and the natural sciences gradually grew apart by the end of the 19th century. While scientific research expanded rapidly, the topics being studied also became more specialized. Experts believe that poetry—a relatively time-consuming art form—simply couldn't keep up with the demand for more efficient science communication. All of this has led to scientific literature as we know it today: articles written in complicated, academic language that is not easily understood by non-scientists.
In recent years, there've been calls to explore the intersections between science and the creative arts. For example, in 2014, Dr. Sam Illingworth, a senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia, started a weekly blog called The Poetry of Science where he reads a piece of scientific research and translates the findings into an original piece of poetry. His blog reached tens of thousands of readers, and he has since extended his work to research publications.
Like many other experts, Dr. Illingworth believes that poetry can help facilitate dialogue between scientists and non-scientists, and this view is supported by studies from around the world!
As we continue to make advances in science and technology, perhaps we can also turn to poetry to help us navigate the ever-growing fountain of knowledge reported by scientists each day.

1~4 CBAC
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了诗歌和科学的联系在历史上可以追溯到18世纪末,不幸的是,随着文学和自然科学在19世纪末的逐渐分离,这种关系变得薄弱起来,而如今的科学文献对非科学家不友好。文章指出诗歌可以助力科学的传播。
1. C 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In fact, records of scientific poetry ... which he published in 1791.(事实上,科学诗歌的记录可以追溯到18世纪末。英国内科医生和博物学家伊拉斯谟·达尔文(查尔斯·达尔文的祖父)在1791年出版的《植物园》一书中用诗歌来庆祝科学发现和发明。)”可知,作者提到《植物园》是为了证明诗歌和科学早已融为一体。故选C。
2. B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“All of this has led to scientific literature as we know it today: articles written in complicated, academic language that is not easily understood by non-scientists.(所有这一切都导致了我们今天所知道的科学文献:用复杂的学术语言写成的文章,非科学家不容易理解。)”可知,今天的科学文献对非科学家不友好。故选B。
3. A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“For example, in 2014, Dr. Sam Illingworth, a senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia, started a weekly blog called The Poetry of Science where he reads a piece of scientific research and translates the findings into an original piece of poetry.”可知,伊林沃思博士在他的博客中用诗歌总结研究结果。故选A。
4. C 解析:标题归纳题。根据最后一段的内容“随着科学技术的不断进步,也许我们也可以求助于诗歌来帮助我们理解科学家每天报告的不断增长的知识之泉。”,并结合文章主要说明了诗歌和科学的联系由来已久,但由于文学和自然科学在19世纪末的逐渐分离,这种关系变得薄弱,以至于如今的科学文献对非科学家不友好可知,文章指出诗歌可以助力科学的传播。故C选项“通过诗歌传播科学”最适合作文章标题。故选C。
