    There is a difference between science and technology.【B1】______Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for applying the findings of science.【B2】______
    Progress in science excludes the human factor.Scientists, who seek to understand the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other peoples likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things.
   【B3】______But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it \ But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sound produced by a supersonic (超音速的) aircraft flying overhead; we cannot refuse to breathe polluted air.【B4】______The purpose of technology is to serve people—people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.
   【B5】______Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution, resource depletion (枯竭) and even social decay in general—so much so that the promise of technology is "obscured".That promise is a cleaner and healthier world.If wise applications of science and technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?
    A.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.
    B.Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.
    C.What scientists discover may shock or anger people—as did Darwin’ s theory of evolution.
    D.Science and technology are different.
    E.We are all familiar with the improper use of technology.
    F.Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems.
【B3】
选项
答案C
解析 整个第二段是对上题的发展,也就是科学和技术的一个不同和它们各自的进步有关。第二段的第一句话讲了科学的进步排除了人的因素,进而解释说科学家力图了解宇宙,尽可能精确地寻求真理,不可能考虑他们自己或者他人的喜好,或者一般人认为他们的发现是否合适。本题,是一个例子：科学家的发现可能会使人们感到震惊或发怒,如达尔文的进化论。该理论的提出因为和上帝造人的教义相悖,在当时使教会大为恼怒,甚至禁止宣传。
