In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list (A、B、C、D、E、F、G……) to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are several extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. (10 points)
Science is committed to the universal. A sign of this is that the more successful a science becomes, the broader the agreement about its basic concepts: there is not a separate Chinese or American or Soviet thermodynamics(热力学),for example, there is simply thermodynamics (41)______.
(42)______. This is why the spread of technology makes the world look ever more homogeneous. Architectural styles, dress styles, musical styles, even eating styles, tend increasingly to be world styles. The world looks more homogeneous because it is more homogeneous. Children who grow up in this world therefore experience it as a sameness rather than a diversity, and because their identities are shaped by this sameness, their sense of differences among cultures and individuals diminishes. (43)______.
The automobile illustrates the point with great clarity. A technological innovation like streamlining or all-welded body construction may be rejected initially, but if it is important to the efficiency or economics of automobiles, it will reappear in different ways until it is not only accepted but universally regarded as an asset. (44)______.
If man creates machines, machines in turn shape their creators. As the automobile is universalized, it universalizes those who use it. Like the World Car he drives, modem man is becoming universal. No longer quite an individual, no longer quite the product of a unique geography and culture, he moves from one climate-controlled shopping mall to another, one airport to the next, from one Holiday Inn to its successor three hundred miles down the road; but somehow his location never changes. He is cosmopolitan(四海为家者). The price he pays is that he no longer has a home in the traditional sense of the world. (45)______.
The universalizing, imperative of technology is irresistible. Barring the catastrophe of nuclear war, it will continue to shape both modem culture and the consciousness of those who inhabit that culture.
A. Thermodynamics belongs to physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy.
B. As the corollary(必然结果) of science, technology also exhibits the universalizing tendency.
C. Today’s automobile is no longer unique to a given company or even to a given national culture, its basic features are found, with variations, in automobiles in general, no matter who makes them.
D. Genetics is the branch of biology that deals with heredity, especially the mechanisms of hereditary transmission and the variation of inherited characteristics among similar or related organisms.
E. As buildings become more alike, the people who inhabit the buildings become more alike. The result is described precisely in a phrase that is already familiar: the disappearance of history.
F. For several decades of the twentieth century there was a Western and a Soviet genetics(遗传学), the latter associated with Lysenko’s theory that environmental stress can produce genetic mutations(变化). Today Lysenko’s theory is discredited, and there is now only one genetics.
G. The benefit is that he begins to suspect home in the traditional sense is another name for limitations, and that home in the modem sense is everywhere and always surrounded by neighbors.
