Why nature should conform to theories we find beautiful is far from obvious. The most incomprehensible thing about the universe, as Einstein said, is that it’s comprehensible. We’re a long way from understanding everything, but we do understand a great deal about how nature behaves. Generation after generation, we puzzle out formulas, test them, and find, to an astonishing degree, that nature agrees. An architect draws designs on flimsy paper, and her buildings stand up through earthquakes. We launch a satellite into orbit and use it to bounce messages from continent to continent. The machine on which I write these words embodies hundreds of insights into the workings of the material world, insights that are confirmed by every burst of letters on the screen, and I stare at that screen through lenses that obey the laws of optics first worked out in detail by Isaac Newton.According to this paragraph, which of the following views does the author hold? ()
A、All buildings are designed to withstand earthquakes.
B、Machines offer insights into the material world.
C、Little do we understand how nature behaves.
D、Nature agrees theories we find beautiful.
【正确答案】:D
【题目解析】:本段并不能说明A选项的正确性。所以,排除A。此外,原文是embodies …insights into the workings of the material world. 所以排除B。其次,原文是We do understand a great deal about how nature behaves.所以排除C。 D选项出现在段落首句,是段落主旨句。所以,选择D。
