问题     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 Line 2, Para. 3, "scientific technology" is ______.
选项 A、the application of scientific knowledge to the skills of industry
B、the use of science and industrial techniques in gaining control of the universe
C、science and industry as the basis of progress
D、the application of science and industry to daily life
答案A
解析 语义理解题。第三段中，One is to provide the basis for a scientific technology...，换句话说，有了技术，我们将其运用到现实生活中取得巨大影响，这与选项A“把科学知识应用于工业技术”一致。 B“利用科学和工业技术控制万物”，C“科学和工业是进步的基础”和D“科学和工业运用于日常生活”不是文中作者提到的science and technology的内容。
