问题 Tagore had a sharply defined sense of the (i)________of scientific inquiry. The fact that science dealt in statistics and numbers, that its logic was probabilistic, meant that the domain of moral questions (ii)________it: moral questions, for Tagore, required certainties, not probabilities.
Blank (i)        Blank (ii)
A. irrationality D. guarded over
B. limits        E. lay outside
C. futility      F. was subject to

选项

答案B,E

解析 先看空格(ii),冒号前说moral questions ________scientific inquiry,冒号后说moral questions要求的是确定性而不是概率性,而冒号前说科学需要的是概率性,所以空格(ii)要体现出对立的关系,选择E项lay outside(在……之外)。空格(i)表示scientific inquiry的属性,既然its logic was probabilistic,而泰戈尔喜欢的是certainties,所以空格(i)要体现出对于科学探究的负面态度。B项limits(局限性)符合。空格(i)容易错选,关键要弄清science和moral的对比,前者是概率性的,后者需要确定性。处理统计和数字的科学是基于概率,并不是说科学无用,也不是说它无理,而是有局限性(limits)。
