问题                         Science and Technology
    There is a difference between science and technology. 【B1】______Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for applying the findings of science. 【B2】______
    Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to understand the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people’s likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. 【B3】______But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sound produced by a supersonic(超音速的)aircraft flying overhead; we cannot refuse to breathe polluted air. 【B4】______The purpose of technology is to serve people—people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.
    【B5】______Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution, resource depletion(枯竭)and even social decay in general—so much so that the promise of technology is "obscured". That promise is a cleaner and healthier world. If wise applications of science and technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?(2003年)
A. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.
B. Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor.
C. What scientists discover may shock or anger people—as did Darwin’s theory of evolution.
D. Science and technology are different.
E. We are all familiar with the improper use of technology.
F. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems.
【B2】
选项
答案A
解析 文章前部分一直是从科学与技术的方法进行论述，空白处的下文主要是讲述进步，通过下一段首句Progress in science excludes the human factor，即：科学的进步是排除人为因素的。可以知道，文章将要论述科学与技术进步之间的区别，所以答案A更为合理，衔接得当。
