Question

【題目】Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving 【1】 problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships 【2】 in the observable natural world and with building up theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and methods for carrying out the 【3】 of science.

Another difference between science and technology has to do with the 【4】 in each.

Progress in science does not consider the human factor. Scientists make a study of the universe, try to explain the rules of nature and strive to find out the truth. They can 【5】 pay attention to their own or other people’s likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people—as did Darwin’s theory of evolution. But even a(n) 【6】 truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the noises produced by an airplane flying overhead; we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe 【7】 air; and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science, progress in technology must be 【8】 in terms of the human factor. Technology must be our slave and not the 【9】. The purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generation, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be 【10】 if it is to lead to a better world.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述科學的發(fā)展不考慮人的因素，而技術的進步必須根據它帶給人們的用途來衡量。

【1】考查形容詞。句意：科學是回答理論問題的方法；技術是解決實際問題的一種方法。此處是形容詞修飾名詞，結合句意可知答案為practical。故選C。

【2】考查現在分詞作后置定語。句意：科學是發(fā)現存在于可觀察的自然世界中的事實和關系，并建立理論來組織這些事實和關系。此處是現在分詞作后置定語，結合句意可知答案為existing。故選E。

【3】考查名詞復數。句意：技術與實現科學發(fā)現的工具、技術和方法有關。此處用名詞復數，結合句意可知答案為findings。故選A。

【4】考查不可數名詞。句意：科學和技術的另一個區(qū)別與各自的進步有關。根據下文中的Progress in science does not consider the human factor.結合句意可知答案為progress。故選F。

【5】考查副詞。句意：他們幾乎不能注意到自己或他人的好惡，或對事物的適用性的流行觀點。此處hardly“幾乎不”，修飾動詞，結合句意可知答案為hardly。故選G。

【6】考查形容詞作定語。句意：但即使是不受歡迎的真相也很可能被利用。此處是形容詞修飾后面的名詞truth，結合句意可知答案為undesirable。故選H。

【7】考查過去分詞作前置定語。句意：我們沒有選擇拒絕呼吸被污染的空氣。此處是過去分詞作前置定語，答案為polluted。故選J。

【8】考查含情態(tài)動詞的被動語態(tài)。句意：與科學不同，技術進步必須以人為因素來衡量。此處是含情態(tài)動詞的被動語態(tài)，結合句意可知答案為measured。故選B。

【9】考查名詞。句意：技術必須是我們的奴隸，而不是相反的結果。結合句意可知答案為reverse。故選D。

【10】考查形容詞作表語。句意：如果技術要通向一個更美好的世界，它必須是人性化的。此處be動詞后面用形容詞作表語，結合句意可知答案為humanistic。故選I。
