The physicist investigating the relationship between time and space, the chemist exploring the properties of a new substance, the biologist probing the mysteries of the continuity of life, and the anthropologist searching for human origins share a common trait of curiosity. Not that non-scientists are not curious, most people possess this characteristic. The scientist, however, uses a specific method to make research into these enigmatic (如谜的, 难以理解的) problems— the scientific method.
Unfortunately, science and its method are misunderstood. The multiplication of our knowledge in medicine and technology has led to the idea that science can cure all and explain all and that only enough time, money and intelligence are needed. In truth, science cannot provide all answers. In fact, many phenomena are not even subject to scientific explanations.
On the other side of the coin, science has been attacked as a cause of most contemporary problems. It is said to be responsible for the depersonalization (人格解体,人性丧失) of the individual, for stripping creativity from human behavior, and for creating massive threats to the species through the development of nuclear power, insecticides, and polluting machinery. If we analyze the situation, we can see that it was not the original intent of the people who developed computers to debase humankind, nor was mass production proposed as a method to crush creativity. It is what society, policymakers especially, does with scientific achievements that makes them social or antisocial. There is nothing inherently good or bad about science.
In the expression "On the other side of the coin" in Para. 3 "the coin" is used to refer to______.
选项
A、the misunderstanding of science
B、the scientific explanation
C、the money needed in scientific research
D、the curiosity of scientists
答案
A
解析
本题是一道词汇含义类问题。问在文章第三段的第一句话中的coin是指什么。根据文章上下文,我们可以推断出,此词在这里是指人们对科学的指责和误解这一方面。因此,本题的答案应是A。
