问题     The physicist investigating the relationship between time and space, the chemist exploring the properties of a new substance, the biologist probing the mysteries of the continuity of life, and the anthropologist searching for human origins share a common trait of curiosity. Not that non-scientists are not curious, most people possess this characteristic. The scientist, however, uses a specific method to make research into these enigmatic (如谜的, 难以理解的) problems— the scientific method.
    Unfortunately, science and its method are misunderstood. The multiplication of our knowledge in medicine and technology has led to the idea that science can cure all and explain all and that only enough time, money and intelligence are needed. In truth, science cannot provide all answers. In fact, many phenomena are not even subject to scientific explanations.
    On the other side of the coin, science has been attacked as a cause of most contemporary problems. It is said to be responsible for the depersonalization (人格解体，人性丧失) of the individual, for stripping creativity from human behavior, and for creating massive threats to the species through the development of nuclear power, insecticides, and polluting machinery. If we analyze the situation, we can see that it was not the original intent of the people who developed computers to debase humankind, nor was mass production proposed as a method to crush creativity. It is what society, policymakers especially, does with scientific achievements that makes them social or antisocial. There is nothing inherently good or bad about science.  
According to the last paragraph, which of the following will be accepted by the author?
选项 A、Science is the cause of modern problems.
B、Science itself is neither good nor bad.
C、Science leads to environmental pollution.
D、Science causes many antisocial acts.
答案B
解析 本题是一道根据文章内容判断是非类问题。问按照文章最后一段，作者会接受哪个观点。文章最后一段指出，将科学成就加以运用，使它们有益于社会或有害于社会取决于社会，特别是取决于那些制定政策的人。就科学来说，它本身并无好坏之分。因此，本题的正确答案应是B。
