In a society where all aspects of our lives are dictated by scientific advances in technology, science is the essence of our existence. Without the vast advances made by chemists, physicists, biologist, geologist, and other diligent scientists, our standards of living would decline, our flourishing, wealthy nation might come to an economic depression, and our people would suffer from disease that could not be cured. As a society we ignorantly take advantage of the amenities provided by science, yet our lives would be altered interminably without them.
Health care, one of the aspects of our society that separates us from our archaic ancestors, is founded exclusively on scientific discoveries and advances. Without the vaccines created by doctors, disease such as polio, measles, hepatitis, and the flu would pose a threat to our citizens, for although some of these disease may not be deadly, their side effects can be a vast detriment to an individual affected with the disease.
In addition, science has developed perhaps the most awe-inspiring, vital invention in the history of the world, the computer. Without the presence of this machine, our world could exist, but the conveniences brought into life by the computer are unparalleled.
Despite the greatness of present-day innovators and scientists and their revelations, it is requisite to examine the amenities of science that our culture so blatantly disregards. For instance, the light bulb, electricity, the telephone, running water, and the automobile are present-day staples of our society; however, they were not present until scientists discovered them.
Because of the contribution of scientist, our world is ever metamorphosing, and this metamorphosis economically and personally comprise our society, whether our society is cognizant of this or not.
In the first paragraph the author implies that we______.
选项
A、would not survive without science
B、take the amenities of science for granted
C、could have raised the standards of living with science
D、would be free of disease because of scientific advances
答案
C
解析
本题是推理题。从本段的最后一句话“As a society we ignorantly take advantageof the amenities provided by science,yet our lives would be altered interminably without them.”可知,我们在生活中无视科学带来的便利,生活的变化会非常缓慢。由此可知A不正确。B项“把科学带来的便利视为理所当然”,此说法也不是原文所暗示的内容;由本段的“Without the vast advances made by chemists,physicists,…our people would suffer from diseasethat could not be cured.”可知,没有科学家们带来的巨大进步,我们的生活水准会下降,经济会萧条、人们将会遭受无法治愈的病痛的折磨。由此可知D“因为科学进步人们不再被疾病困扰”过于绝对。故C是正确答案。
