（1）He made his observations from a tower situated on the protective wall around the cathedral.His observations were made with the "bare eyeball，" so to speak，as a hundred years were to pass before the invention of the telescope.In 1530，Copernicus completed his famous work De Revolutionibus，which later played a major role in changing the philosophical view of humankind's place in the universe. （2）
Copernicus died in 1543 and was never to know what a stir his work would cause.In his book，he asserted that the Earth rotated on its axis once daily and traveled around the Sun once yearly.（3）People then regarded the Earth as stationary，situated at the center of the universe，with the Sun and all the planets revolving around it.Copernicus' theory challenged the long-held belief that God created the Heavens and the Earth，and could overturn the core values of the Catholic world.（4）Other ministers quickly followed suit，saying of Copernicus， "This fool wants to turn the whole art of astronomy upside down."
Ironically，Copernicus had dedicated his work to Pope Paul Ⅲ. （5）The Church ultimately banned De Revolutionibus，and the book remained on the list of forbidden reading material for nearly three centuries thereafter.
A.Copernicus died on May 24，1543 in what is now Frombork，Poland.
B.The book，however，wasn't published until two months before his death.
C.If this act was an attempt to seek the Catholic Church's approval，it was of no use.
D.Copernicus returned to Poland，where he became a church administrator and doctor.
E.This went against the philosophical and religious beliefs held during medieval times.
F.Religious leader Martin Luther voiced his opposition to the sun-centered system model.
G.In his spare time，Copernicus studied the stars and the planets，applying his math knowledge to the mysteries of the night sky.發(fā)布：2024/6/27 10:35:59組卷：8引用：1難度：0.51053．We've all had the experience of wanting to get a project done but putting it off to a later date.So why do we delay things？Are we built to operate this way at some times？
These questions are central to my research on goal pursuit（追求）.It all starts with a simple choice between working now on a given project and doing anything else.The decision to work on something is driven by how much we value accomplishing the project in that moment — what psychologists call its subjective value.And delay，in psychological terms，is what happens when the value of doing something else outweighs the value of working now.
This way of thinking suggests a simple trick to defeat delay.For example，instead of cleaning my house，I might try to focus on why grading papers is personally important to me.It's simple advice，but sticking to this strategy（策略）can be quite difficult.
People are not entirely wise in the way they value things.For example，a dollar bill is worth exactly the same today as it is a week from now，but its subjective value — roughly how good it would feel to own a dollar — depends on other factors besides its face value，such as when we receive it.The tendency for people to devalue money and other goods based on time is called delay discounting.For example，receiving ﹩100 three months from now is worth the same to people as receiving ﹩83 right now.People would rather lose ﹩17 than wait a few months to get a larger reward.
Getting something done is a delayed reward，so its value in the present is reduced：the further away the deadline is，the less attractive it seems to work on the project right now.The tendency to delay things closely follows economic models of delay discounting.One way to manage it is to make the finish line seem closer.For example，vividly imagining a future reward reduces delay discounting.

A．Is equal to.

C．Is involved in.
D．Is central to.
（2）What should we do to overcome delay in the author's opinion？
A．Avoid setting a deadline too strictly.
B．Consider doing nothing temporarily.
C．Increase the subjective value of working now.
D．Realize great fun of working immediately.
（3）Which proverb can best summarize the theory of delay discounting？
A．Time and tide wait for no man.
B．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
C．One of these days is none of these days.
D．Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
（4）What is suggested to deal with delay discounting？
A．Asking for nothing in return.
B．Lowering our high expectations.
C．Searching for instant satisfaction.
D．Making future rewards more inviting.發(fā)布：2024/6/27 10:35:59組卷：2引用：2難度：0.51054．A big fire broke
