Many leading scientists sown through the years from Galileo to Einstein have been deeply religious. They have been intrigued by the essential mystery of life and material existence, and have recognized that spiritual as well as scientific understanding is needed.
Two biologists might examine a living cell under a microscope. One will see there the handiwork of God; the other will see only what evolution has changed to produce. And yet both will agree on the cell’s biological history, its composition, its structure, and its function. One physicist will find God in the exquisitely organized and exact laws of the physical universe. Another physicist will not be able to see anything beyond the laws themselves. The religious views of a scientist do not come from his science; they come from his entire philosophy, his whole view of the world. But scientists are not unique in this matter; the same disparity of thinking is to be found among people from all walks of life.
In the modem world, science serves two important functions. One is to provide the basis for a scientific technology. It is in this way that science has the greatest influence on our dally living. Through technology, we advance the structure of civilization and gain increasing domination over the earth and adjoining portions of the universe. The other purpose served by science is one of understanding. Through science, we discover how phenomena occur and, to a limited extent, why they happen the way they do. Vital processes are analyzed and studied, that we may know more of how organisms function, and how they have come to be what they are. Through science, we seek to know what a man is—how his body works and why he thinks and dreams. As we search to know ourselves and the workings of our minds, we expect to find solutions to problems of confusion and discontent. Science is a way to understanding, but in some ways it is a narrow path that does not touch on all the questions posed by the facts of human life. Science does not provide a way of life; it does not create a moral order. It is quite obvious that not all human knowledge can be reduced to scientific terms. Interpretations of the ultimate meaning and value of life will, in the final analysis, be made more on the basis of spiritual awareness than on scientific acuity.
In the last sentence of Para. 2 "this matter" refers to ______.
选项
A、the disparity in the religious conclusions drawn from the observation of natural phenomena
B、the fact that a scientist’s religious views derive from his whole outlook on life
C、the disparity of thinking between scientists and people from other walks of life
D、the fact that some people believe in God while others do not
答案
B
解析
语义理解题。在第二段最后一部分,作者谈到宗教观的来源,并指出The religious view of a scientist...come from his entire philosophy,...接下来说科学家在this matter上不是独一无二的,因此,this mater是指“科学家的宗教观点来源于他的生活观”,选项B正确。A“从自然现象观察得出的宗教结论不一致”和C“科学家和各行各业的人们想法不一致”的难点在单词disparity,-原文中出现过这个词,使读者很容易将这两项列为可能的正确答案
