问题     Sciart was originally established to fund visual arts projects which involved an artist and a scientist working in collaboration to research, develop and produce work which explored contemporary biological and medical science. Over time, the programme expanded to cover a wider range of arts and science activity. In total, Sciart supported 118 projects with nearly £ 3 million of funding to increase interest and excitement in biomedical science among adults, to encourage collaborative creative practices between disciplines in the arts and science, and to create a group of artists looking at biomedical science and build capacity in this field.

    Interview evidence from those involved in Sciart projects suggested that the collaborations between artists and scientists had helped to raise awareness among project participants and the wider public of connections between aspects of arts and sciences. An effect of this had been to encourage, at policy making and funding levels, more interest to be taken and more resources to be used to promote interactions between the two. As one participant who was interviewed commented:
    Connecting the sensory with the conceptual is something that is fundamental to artistic and scientific methods. That awareness has got lost at a public level. And Sciart collaborations and the publicly visible outcomes help to demonstrate those connections, which have tended to become ignored.  Sciart had made the similarities between science and art more evident.
    Interviews with a significant number of artists and scientists who had participated in Sciart-funded projects revealed that the process of collaboration and of observing each other’ s professional practices and cultures had led to previously unnoticed similarities between the "two cultures" being recognized. The process of recognition provided a point of familiarity that generally seemed to encourage or reassure those concerned. The combination of strangeness and familiarity was perceived by some as a basis on which to engage in collaboration across disciplines.
    Scientists’ testimonies:
    It has made me think more about the coming together of art and science. At the centre of scientific and artistic thinking there are acts of creativity, and I don’t think that those acts of creativity necessarily differ, although the content may differ.
Artists’ testimonies:
    I was intrigued by the radical differences between the artistic process and the scientific method, but also by the overlaps, such as the opening up of new ideas, the creative manipulation of materials and the process of experimentation. Both science and art require thinking in their own ways, and they both require observation of the natural world...
    It was very clear from the testimonies of interviewees from both sides of the art-science divide, and from those participating in projects as well as those observing them, that a great deal of mutual respect between the two cultures had grown up as a consequence of Sciart-funded collaborations.

    The Sciart programme was basically launched to fund【R1】_________between scientists and artists, eventually covering 118 projects that were not just involved in art and biomedical science. When participants were interviewed about the Sciart projects, they felt the projects increased【R2】_________of the connections between aspects of【R3】_________among themselves and the general public.  The result of this was that attempts were made to【R4】_________between both cultures. One interview comment was that Sciart has made the similarities between science and art【R5】_________.
【R2】
选项
答案awareness
解析 文章第二段第一句指出，来自Sciart项目参与者的采访证据表明，艺术家和科学家之间的合作有助于提高项目参与者和公众对艺术和科学之间联系的认识。由此可知，当参与者接受关于Sciart项目的采访时，他们觉得这些项目提高了他们自己和普通公众对艺术和科学之间联系的认识。故空格处应填awareness。
