題目：Thomas Young ～The Last True Know一It一All

題材：人物傳記

題型：判斷7+填空6

參考文章：

A Thomas Young(1773一1829)contributed 63 articles to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Including 46 Biographical entries(mostly on scientists and classicists) and substantial essays on "Bridge,"Chromatics," "Egypt,""Languages, and"Tides" Was someone who could write authoritatively about so many subjects a polymath, a genius or a dilettante? In an ambitious new biography, Andrew Robinson argues that Young is a good contender for the epitaph"the last man who knew everything” Young has competition, however: The phrase, which Robinson takes for his title, also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies: Leonard Warren's 1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy (1823一1891) and Paula Findlen's 2004 book on Athanasius Kircher (1602一1680), another polymath.

B Young, of course, did more than write encyclopedia entries . He presented hid first paper to the Royal Society of London at the age of 2O and was elected a Fellow a week after his 2lst birthday. In the paper, Young explained the process of accommodation in the human eye一on how the eye focuses properly on objects at varying distances. Young hypothesized that this was achieved by changes in the shape of the lens. Young also theorized that light traveled in waves and he believed that, to account for the ability to see in color, there must be three receptors in the eye corresponding to the three "principal colors" to which the retina could respond: red, green, violet. All these hypotheses were subsequently proved to be correct.

C Later in his life, when he was in his forties, Young was instrumental in cracking the code that Unlocked the unknown script on the Rosetta Stone,a tablet that was "found" in Egypt by the Napo leonic army stone contains text in three alphabets: Greek, something Unrecognizable and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The unrecognizable script is now known as demotic and, as Young deduced, is related directly to hieroglyphic. His initial work on this appeared in his Britannica entry on Egypt. In another entry, he coined the term Indo一European to describe the family of languages spoken throughout most of Europe and northern India. These are the landmark achievements of a man who was a child prodigy and who，unlike many remarkable children, did not disappear into oblivion as an adult.

D Bom in 1773 in Somerset in England, Young lived from an early age with his maternal Grandfather ,eventually leaving to attend boarding school. He had devoured books from the age of two, and through his own initiative he excelled at Latin, Greek, mathematics and natural philosophy. After leaving school , he was greatly encouraged by his mother's uncle, Richard Brocklesby, a physician and Fellow of the Royal Society. Following Brocklesby lead, Young decided to pursue a career in medicine. He studied in London, following the medical circuit, and then moved on to more formal education in Edinburgh, G6ttingen and Cambridge. After completing his medical training at the University of Cambridge in 1808, Young set up practice as a physician in London. He soon became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and a few years later was appointed physician at St. George’s Hospital.

E Young’s skill as a physician, however, did not equal his skill as a scholar of natural philosophy or linguistics. Earlier, in 1801, he had been appointed to a professorship of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution, where he delivered as many as 60 lectures in a year. These were published in two volumes in 1807. In 1804 Young had become secretary to the Royal Society, a post he would hold until his death. His opinions were sought on civic and national matters, such as the introduction of gas lighting to London and methods of ship construction. From 1819 he was superintendent of the Nautical Almanac and secretary to the Board of Longitude. From 1824 to 1829 he was physician to and inspector of calculations for the Palladian Insurance Company. Between 1816 and 1825 he contributed his many and various entries to the Encyclopedia Britannica, and throughout his career he authored numerous books, essays and papers.

F Young is a perfect subject for a biography - perfect, but daunting. Few men contributed so much to so many technical fields. Robinson^ aim is to introduce non-scientists to Young5s work and life. He succeeds, providing clear expositions of the technical material (especially that on optics and Egyptian hieroglyphs). Some readers of this book will, like Robinson, find Young’s accomplishments impressive; others will see him as some historians have - as a dilettante. Yet despite the rich material presented in this book, readers will not end up knowing Young personally. We catch glimpses of a playful Young, doodling Greek and Latin phrases in his notes on medical lectures and translating the verses that a young lady had written on the walls of a summerhouse into Greek elegiaes. Young was introduced into elite society, attended the theatre and learned to dance and play the flute. In addition, he was an accomplished horseman. However, his personal life looks pale next to his vibrant career and studies.

G Young married Eliza Maxwell in 1804, and according to Robinson, "their marriage was a happy one and she appreciated his work11 Almost all we know about her is that she sustained her husband through some rancorous disputes about optics and that she worried about money when his medical career was slow to take off. Veiy little evidence survives about the complexities of Young5s relationships with his mother and father. Robinson does not credit them, or anyone else, with shaping Young5 s extraordinary mind. Despite the lack of details concerning Young5 s relationships, however, anyone interested in what it means to be a genius should read this book.

　雅思閱讀速度提升做題方法

單詞量

從考試的實用度來說，單詞可以分爲三種：

不需認識的：例如劍橋五上一篇講塑料的文章中的asbestos(石棉)、formaldehyde(甲醛)、phenol(苯酚)等;

需認識但是無需熟練掌握的：閱讀不是寫作，它是門輸入型的考試，這類單詞只需在考試中能回憶出其大致意思即可，例如pyramid(金字塔)、sphinx(獅身人面像);

需熟練掌握類：這是最重要的一類，需熟練掌握它的用法以及同義詞(這組詞大部分都包含在四、六級詞彙中)。

一詞多義(背單詞的升級版)

這種情況較第一種情況更鬱悶一些。好好一句話，單詞都認識，偏偏就是看不懂意思。其實，如果我們知道這是由一詞多義現象造成的話，這種情況也就能自動歸到第一種，因爲這個一詞多義的單詞到了這句話中，對我們而言就是一個生詞。

例如absence這個單詞常譯爲“缺席”，但在文章中很多時候都表示“沒有”，這兩個意思有很大程度的關聯性。再如settlement，很多人都知道是“定居”的意思，在很多雅思專業型文章裏卻譯爲“下沉”。於是很多學生就非常不解了。

其實不妨換位思考一下，我們的母語漢語有無一詞多義呢?顯然太多了。比如賊這個字指“小偷”，是名詞;到了某些特殊的語境中卻可以表示“非常”，變成了形容詞。不但連意思變了，連詞性也轉了。那麼，推己及人，英語也是一樣的道理。大家背單詞時一定要特意留心一個單詞的詞性，從而逐漸消除由於一詞多義而造成的閱讀障礙。

語法

說到語法，中國人的英語語法還不夠好麼?絕對夠好!但我們習得的語法太過學術化，以至於我們對西方慣用方式反而陌生。舉個最簡單的例子：Yet 大家都認識，但雅思考試有一句常見的話：The scientists have yet to determine the……很多考生並沒看出這是個否定句而出錯，這就十分可惜了。

做題方法

首先，瞭解出題者思路是一個很聰明的做題方法。比如important和necessary，我們中國學生有時思路非常縝密，認爲重要的不一定是必要的，但是必要的就一定是重要的。這絕對是一個很完善的邏輯，但遺憾的是，西方人的思路非常簡單，在他們眼裏，這兩個單詞首先不矛盾，其次他們都指向需要、重要，那就沒必要分那麼細，於是這兩個詞是同義詞。

再有，閱讀的一點難點在於迅速找出題目所對應的原文。這就須知道相關詞的概念，即兩個詞未必意思一樣但之間有關係。例如 expensive，大部分學生立刻會想到costly，not cheap，這裏給大家一個單詞Rolls Royce(勞斯萊斯)，這兩個單詞在雅思閱讀中就屬於一種很巧妙的相關詞，因爲後者具有昂貴這個特點。再如bird有什麼相關詞呢?很多學生要去想背過的鳥的名字了，但雅思考試中卻曾拿 Nest(雀巢)來與bird作爲相關詞來與之對應。這樣的例子數不勝數，只有當我們收集到足夠多的例子，才能從本質上提高閱讀速度。
