题目：Thomas Young ～The Last True Know一It一All
题材：人物传记
题型：判断7+填空6
参考文章：
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 in1799.The 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.

雅思阅读速度提升做题方法
单词量
从考试的实用度来说，单词可以分为三种：
不需认识的：例如剑桥五上一篇讲塑料的文章中的asbestos(石棉)、formaldehyde(甲醛)、phenol(苯酚)等;
需认识但是无需熟练掌握的：阅读不是写作，它是门输入型的考试，这类单词只需在考试中能回忆出其大致意思即可，例如pyramid(金字塔)、sphinx(狮身人面像);
需熟练掌握类：这是最重要的一类，需熟练掌握它的用法以及同义词(这组词大部分都包含在四、六级词汇中)。
一词多义(背单词的升级版)
这种情况较第一种情况更郁闷一些。好好一句话，单词都认识，偏偏就是看不懂意思。其实，如果我们知道这是由一词多义现象造成的话，这种情况也就能自动归到第一种，因为这个一词多义的单词到了这句话中，对我们而言就是一个生词。
例如absence这个单词常译为“缺席”，但在文章中很多时候都表示“没有”，这两个意思有很大程度的关联性。再如settlement，很多人都知道是“定居”的意思，在很多雅思专业型文章里却译为“下沉”。于是很多学生就非常不解了。
其实不妨换位思考一下，我们的母语汉语有无一词多义呢?显然太多了。比如贼这个字指“小偷”，是名词;到了某些特殊的语境中却可以表示“非常”，变成了形容词。不但连意思变了，连词性也转了。那么，推己及人，英语也是一样的道理。大家背单词时一定要特意留心一个单词的词性，从而逐渐消除由于一词多义而造成的阅读障碍。
语法
说到语法，中国人的英语语法还不够好么?绝对够好!但我们习得的语法太过学术化，以至于我们对西方惯用方式反而陌生。举个最简单的例子：Yet 大家都认识，但雅思考试有一句常见的话：The scientists have yet to determine the……很多考生并没看出这是个否定句而出错，这就十分可惜了。
做题方法
首先，了解出题者思路是一个很聪明的做题方法。比如important和necessary，我们中国学生有时思路非常缜密，认为重要的不一定是必要的，但是必要的就一定是重要的。这绝对是一个很完善的逻辑，但遗憾的是，西方人的思路非常简单，在他们眼里，这两个单词首先不矛盾，其次他们都指向需要、重要，那就没必要分那么细，于是这两个词是同义词。
再有，阅读的一点难点在于迅速找出题目所对应的原文。这就须知道相关词的概念，即两个词未必意思一样但之间有关系。例如 expensive，大部分学生立刻会想到costly，not cheap，这里给大家一个单词Rolls Royce(劳斯莱斯)，这两个单词在雅思阅读中就属于一种很巧妙的相关词，因为后者具有昂贵这个特点。再如bird有什么相关词呢?很多学生要去想背过的鸟的名字了，但雅思考试中却曾拿 Nest(雀巢)来与bird作为相关词来与之对应。这样的例子数不胜数，只有当我们收集到足够多的例子，才能从本质上提高阅读速度。
