If you live on this planet, there’s a decent chance you’ve seen the classic Star Trek Episode, in which captain Kirk and several members find themselves in what appears to be another universe.

These days, it seems the idea of the multiversemany worldsis having its Hollywood moment. Its appeal as a storytelling device is obviouscharacters explore a multi-world with varying degrees of similarity to our own, as well as different versions of themselves. Hence, it has been fully established in mainstream pop culture.

While Hollywood can’t seem to get enough of the multiverse, it remains deeply controversial (有争议的) among scientists. Advocates on the two sides show no mercy toward each other in their books, on their blogs. But physicists didn’t pull the idea out of thin airrather, several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse’s existence. However, critics warn that making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative (推测性的) theories from established fact, making it more difficult to keep pseudo-science (伪科学) at bay. Giving credit to such speculation risks “turning fundamental physics into pseudo-science”.

The multiverse controversy is rooted in the idea of test ability. If we can’t interact with these other universes, or detect them in any way, some experts insist that reduces them to mere philosophical speculation. But Carroll, an advocate for “many worlds”, argues that mathematics is the language describing our physical theories. Since Schrdinger’s equation (方程), on which Quanturr (量子) mechanic rests, predicts the existence of many worlds, so be it.

Could a more expansive view of the universe itself be the next breakthrough? As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thought, ‘We’ve got it; this is what the whole universe is’the people who’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s more than one of those’ have always turned out to be right.”

12. Why is Hollywood so occupied with the multiverse?

A. It makes for engaging plots.

B. It is a much-talked-about topic.

C. It is helpful to popularize science.

D. It dominates the mainstream pop culture.

13. What do the underlined words in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Out of date. B. Out of place. C. Out of nowhere. D. Out of question.

14. According to the opponents, the basic standard of fundamental physics is that ______.

A. it can be detected somehow

B. it can be reasoned logically

C. it can be interpreted philosophically

D. it can be predicted by mathematics equation

15. What might be the author’s attitude toward the multiverse?

A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Approving.

全文译文:

如果你生活在地球上,那么你很可能看过经典的《星际迷航》剧集。在这一集中,柯克船长和几名成员发现自己仿佛进入了另一个宇宙。


如今,“多元宇宙”(或称“多重宇宙”)的概念在好莱坞非常流行。作为一种故事叙述方式,它的吸引力显而易见——角色们探索由多个世界构成的空间,这些世界和我们熟悉的现实世界有不同程度的相似性,同时存在着角色的不同版本。因此,这一概念已在主流流行文化中牢固确立。


尽管好莱坞青睐多元宇宙的题材,科学界对其仍存在巨大争议。支持与反对双方的拥护者在书籍和博客中互不相让,针锋相对。不过,物理学家并非凭空构想出多元宇宙——这一理论的提出基于多条独立的推理路径,似乎都指向多元宇宙的存在。然而,批评者警告称,若将多元宇宙视为“合法”理论,可能会让公众难以区分推测性理论与已确立的科学事实,从而增加伪科学蔓延的风险。认可这种推测,或许会“将基础物理学变成伪科学”。


多元宇宙的争议核心在于其是否具备可检验性。假如我们无法与这些其他宇宙互动,或以任何方式探测到它们,那么一些专家认为这类假设只能算作哲学上的推测。然而,支持“多重世界”理论的卡罗尔认为,数学是描述物理理论的语言。既然支撑量子力学的薛定谔方程预示了多重世界的存在,我们就该接受这一点。


宇宙观的进一步扩展会成为下一个重大突破吗?西格弗里德指出:“每次我们自认为‘已完全理解了宇宙的全貌’时——那些认为‘也许有不止一个宇宙’的人总是后来被证明是正确的。”


这篇文章探讨了多元宇宙概念在科学界和流行文化中的影响。尽管多元宇宙作为一种叙事手法广受欢迎,但科学界对此仍存在激烈争议,主要集中在其可验证性问题上。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Its appeal as a storytelling device is obvious—characters explore a multi-world with varying degrees of similarity to our own, as well as different versions of themselves.(作为一种讲故事的手段,它的吸引力显而易见——角色探索了一个与我们自己不同程度相似的多元世界,以及不同版本的自己。)”可知,多元宇宙作为一种讲故事的手段,非常具有吸引力。故选A。

【13题详解】

词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的“rather, several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse’s existence(相反,几个不同的推理路线似乎指向了多元宇宙的存在)”可知,rather前后表示转折,后面说有推理路线证明多元宇宙是存在的,由此可推测出,前面说的是物理学家们并不是凭空得出了这个想法。out of thin air意为“凭空,无中生有地”,和out of nowhere(突然出现)意思相近。故选C。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, critics warn that making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative(推测性的) theories from established fact, making it more difficult to keep pseudo-science(伪科学) at bay. Giving credit to such speculation risks ‘turning fundamental physics into pseudo-science’.(然而,批评者警告说,使多元宇宙合法化可能会使公众更难区分推测性理论和既定事实,从而更难遏制伪科学。相信这种推测有可能‘把基础物理学变成伪科学’。)”可知,批评者认为让多元宇宙合法化可能会使公众难以区分推测性理论和既定事实,相信这种推测有可能导致基础物理学变成伪科学。由此可推测出,基础物理学是以既定事实为基础的,可以通过某种方式发现。故选A。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Since Schrdinger’s equation (方程), on which Quanturr (量子) mechanic rests, predicts the existence of many worlds, so be it.(既然量子力学所依据的薛定谔方程预测了许多世界的存在,那就顺其自然吧。)”和最后一段中的“Could a more expansive view of the universe itself be the next breakthrough? As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thought, ‘We’ve got it; this is what the whole universe is’—the people who’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s more than one of those’ have always turned out to be right.”(正如齐格弗里德所说:“在过去,每当我们想,‘我们明白了;这就是整个宇宙的样子’——那些说‘也许不止一个’的人总是被证明是对的。”)”可知,作者认为既然有理论预测了许多世界的存在,那就顺其自然吧,那些说“也许不止一个”的人总是被证明是对的;由此推知,作者对多元宇宙的概念持支持态度。故选D。
