问题 We live in a society where there is a lot of talk about science, but I would say that there are not 5 percent of the people who are equipped with school, including college, to understand scientific【C1】______. We are more ignorant of science than people with【C2】______education in Western Europe.
There are a lot of kids who know everything about computers—how to build them, how to take them【C3】______, and how to write programs for games. But if you ask them to explain the principles of physics that have gone into【C4】______ the computer, they don’t have the【C5】______idea. The failure to understand science leads to such things as the neglect of human creative power. It also gives rise to the【C6】______of the distinction between science and technology. Lots of people don’t【C7】______between the two. Science is the production of new knowledge that can be applied or not, and technology is the application of knowledge to the production of some products, machinery or the like. The two are really different, and people who have the faculty of one very【C8】______have that for the other. Science in itself is【C9】______, more or less. But as soon as it can provide technology, it’s not【C10】______harmless. No society has yet learned to forecast the consequences of new technology, which can be enormous. And, therefore, nobody can give a definite answer to the question whether science itself is safe.
A. reasoning B. seldom C. comparable D. differ
E. distinguish F. creating G. generally H. apart
I. faintest J. blurring K. harmless L. necessarily
M. tell N. down O. missing
【C1】

选项

答案A

解析 reasoning,上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。第一句是文章中心句,指出我们身边有很多关于科学的事物,却鲜有人真正理解科学原理,答案可以从第二段的举例说明中推理获得:孩子们对电脑了解甚多,却对电脑的物理学原理知之甚少。可见选项应当是“principle”的近义词,故选A。
