问题 The author claims that good science ______.
It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18th century ______.

选项 A、thought that they knew a great deal and could solve most problems of science
B、were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific research
C、knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about nature
D、did more harm than good in promoting man’s understanding of nature

答案A

解析 这是一道推论题。题干中的信号词是the 18th century,出自第二段第三句话中。文章第二段指出:如果我们之中的任何一个人告诉18世纪启蒙时期的最开化者我们知道的是多么少,告诉他们前面的道路是多么渺茫,他们可能会感到惊讶;正是这种突然面对自己的无知程度和范围代表了20世纪的科学对人类智慧作出的最重大贡献。由此可知,18世纪的科学家认为他们了解的东西多。A说“认为他们了解的东西很多,能够解决大多数科学难题”,这与文章的意思符合。文中没有提到B和D;C与文章的意思相反。
