阅读理解:阅读下面文章,从A、B、C、D所给的选项中选出最佳答案。

  Science is sometimes confused with technology, which is the application of science to various tasks. Such confusion is often aided by some school texts that have pictures of rockets on the moon and are titled with “Science Marches On’”. The technology that makes rocket landing on the moon possible emerged from the use of scientific strategies(策略)in the study of propulsion, electronics, and numerous other fields. It is way of inquiry that is scientific; the rocket is a piece of technology. Just as science is not technology, neither is it some specific body of knowledge. The popular phrase “Science tells us that smoking is bad for your health” really misleads, “Science” doesn’t tell us anything, people tell us things, in this case people who have used scientific strategies to investigate(调查)the relationship of smoking to health tell us things. Science may be best regarded as existing not in books, or in machinery, or in reports containing numbers, but rather in that invisible world of the mind. Science has to do with the way questions are formed and answered; it is a set of rules and forms of inquiry created by people who want reliable answers.

A.as a way of finding answers

答案:

  1—5 A A C B D

提示:

1.本文是关于如何识别“科学”与“科技”这两个概念的。作者列举了几个关于“科学与科技”的例子以区分这两个概念。如:火箭发射到月球,火箭是科技的成果,而探求的方法是“科学”;科学不是具体的知识,科学存在于无形的大脑世界中,而不是书本及报告中,是一系列的规则及形式,是抽象的东西。因此四个选项中B,C和D都是科技的具体应用,只有A“科学帮助人们了解世界”符合科学的概念。所以A为正确答案。

2.科技与科学的最大区别在于科技是应用科学知识来解决各种各样的实际困难,而不是其他,因此,A为正确答案。

3.本文主要是理解科学这一概念的,而不是A项中所提到的科学的不同用途,B项中所提到的现代科学的重要性,D项中所提到的理解科学的难点。

4.文章的第二句谈到人们对科学与科技的混淆时,举例说“一些学校课本在一些火箭上了月球的图片上冠以‘科学前进了’的标题,显然是把科学和科技弄混了,误把科技当科学”。因此,B为正确答案。

5.“科学告诉我们抽烟对人们的身体有害”这句话错在:科学什么都没有告诉我们;是人们运用科学策略进行调查抽烟与健康的关系后,告诉我们的。我们错把科学当做知识的主体了。
