When we think about the effect of the Copernican view of the world of literature, we are likely to slip into exaggeration. It is often said that the removal of the earth from its central place in a comfortably ordered system to the status of a minor planet in vaster space was fatal blow to man’s sense of his own dignity. This idea is philosophically foolish and historically false. Throughout the Middle Ages, even though man was considered the special child of God, the earth was regarded as the poorest part of creation. Copernicus was only looking for a simpler pattern of the heavens than Ptolemy’s and he found it. Despite the work of Kepler, Galileo, and the Elizabethan experts, moreover, it took well over a century for the theory to win full acceptance even among the learned.
As late as 1643, a hundred years after Copernicus’ book, a scientist named Browne declared movement of the earth impossible. The reasons for delayed victory were natural. Many educated as well as uneducated men resisted contradiction of the senses and the Bible, or of Aristotle, Ptolemy, and all tradition. Many others were simply unaware or indifferent, as most of us in the twentieth century felt no acute concern over Einstein’s discoveries. In either case, few had the mathematical knowledge needed for confirmation or even comprehension of the theory; indeed, the knowledge needed to confirm Copernicus was not fully available until Newton.
Which of the following does the author say about "a simpler pattern of the heavens"?
选项
A、It was the object of Copernicus’ search.
B、It became common to the thinking of the Middle Ages.
C、It is considered to be philosophically foolish.
D、It depended on the idea that man was the special child of God.
答案
A
解析
It was the object of Copernicus’search意为“这正是哥白尼研究的对象”,是正确答案。文章第一段提到“Copernicus was only looking for a simpler pattern of the heavens.”其中look for的意思是“探求,寻找”,说明a simpler pattern of the heavens正是哥白尼所要去研究的,剩下的选项B、C和D均不符题意。
