(1) The Fields Medal is the highest scientific award for mathematicians. In fact it is only the unofficial name for the "International medal for outstanding discoveries in mathematics. " The Fields Medals are presented every four years at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) to two to four deserving mathematicians under the age of 40. The age limit is intended to guarantee that not only past work is rewarded. The Fields Medal is also intended to encourage the winners to make further contributions.
(2) The prize is named in honor of Professor John Charles Fields (1863-1932), a Canadian mathematician. He was the first significant mathematician at the University of Toronto, and was also internationally known at the time. He was active in such prestigious scientific societies as the Royal Society of London. In 1924 he was elected as the president of the 6th International Congress of Mathematicians held in Toronto.
(3) Fields did original research in the theory of algebraic functions. However he is best remembered for conceiving the idea of, and for providing funds for, an international medal for mathematical distinction. The 9th International Congress of Mathematicians at Zurich in 1932 adopted his proposal after his death. The Fields Medal was first awarded at the 10th Congress, held at Oslo in 1936. The fund for the founding of the medals is constituted by Fields’ donation and balance left over after financing the Toronto Congress held in 1924. Fields wished that the awards should recognize both existing mathematical work and also the promise of future achievement.
(4) The medalists are presented with a golden medal together with a prize of 15, 000 Canadian dollars. Each medal contains at least 200 dollars worth of gold and is probably 7. 5 centimeters in diameter. The obverse of the medal is the head of Archimedes facing right, and together with a quotation (in Latin) attributed to him,
"To transcend one’s spirit and to take hold of the world. " The reverse side bears the inscription (in Latin) , "The mathematicians assembled here from all over the world to pay tribute for outstanding work. "
(5) Compared with the $100,000 of the Nobel Prize, it is only a golden medal. However, the prize winners are selected by the Fields Medal Committee which consists of eight mathematicians appointed by the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union. It is usually regarded as the top prize in mathematics and will only be awarded to researchers who have made pioneering contribution in mathematics, so is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize for Mathematics" , since there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics. [br] Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
选项
A、Fields Medal; the "Noble Prize for Mathematics".
B、John Charles Fields, the Great Mathematician.
C、Noble Prize for Mathematics.
D、John Charles Fields and Fields Medal.
答案
A
解析
主旨题。本文主要讲的是菲尔兹奖在数学界的地位,[B]“伟大的数学家约翰-查尔斯-菲尔兹”、[C]“诺贝尔数学奖”和[D]“约翰-查尔斯-菲尔兹和菲尔兹奖章”都不能全面概括这篇文章论述的中心,只有[A]“菲尔兹奖:诺贝尔数学奖”突出了他在数学界的地位,同时也就使人们想到数学家菲尔兹所做出的贡献。另外,实际上并不存在“诺贝尔数学奖”,这只是一种比喻,所以[C]错误,应加上引号表示特殊含义。
