A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply— all these were important factors in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution.【C1】______ they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men—【C2】______ individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.
The men who【C3】______ the machines of the Industrial Revolution come from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were more inventors than scientists. A man who is a【C4】______ scientist is primarily interested in doing his research【C5】______ He is not necessarily working so that his findings can be used.
An inventor or one interested in applied science is usually trying to make something that has a concrete【C6】______ He may try to solve a problem by using the theories of science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a【C7】______ result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of many other objectives.
Most of the people who【C8】______ the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had【C9】______ or no training in science might not have made their inventions【C10】______ a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years before.
【C4】
选项
A、genuine
B、practical
C、pure
D、clever
答案
C
解析
本题测试的是根据上下文选择词义的能力。从搭配上来看,四个选项里的形容词都可以用来修饰scientist,但从上下文来看,只有C项pure(纯理论的,从事纯理论研究的)是正确答案,因为只有从事纯理论研究的科学家才对准确地进行研究感兴趣,也才不一定致力于应用自己的发现。B项practical的意思是“实用的,从事实用研究的",用在这里意思正好对立。A项genuine的意思是“真正的”,用在这里也不正确,因为无论是pure scientist还是practical scientist都可能是genuine scientist。D项clever的意思是“聪明的",与这里上下文意思大相径庭,因而更不能选用。
