Passage 4
Most critical plot points
in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone came from J.K. Rowling’s imagination,
but Flamel and his powerful pebble were legendary long before Harry went to
Hogwarts. The 14th century alchemist created the philosopher’s stone (called
"sorcerer’s" in U.S. editions of Potter), with which he turned mercury to gold
and gained eternal life. But Flamel’s tale - like his stone and his science -
was no more real than a magic.
The philosopher’s stone was the
key to alchemy, the medieval predecessor to chemistry that aimed to cure all
illnesses, make the elixir of life, and transmute base metals into gold. The
last made perfect sense at the time. The Aristotelian theory of elements
stated that all things consisted of fire, air, water, and earth. So a little
shift in one metal’s composition could create gold.
Hamel was
ren
A. reveal that everything in Potter was imagined by Rowling
B. tell the truth about Flamel behind the tales in Potter
C. point out the inability of alchemists to defend themselves
D. address that alchemy had an impact on modern science

[单项选择]Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers.
