SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. At the end of each news item, you will be given 10 seconds to answer the questions.
听力原文： The cancellation of the 16-day flight means that the crew and scientists on the ground are pursuing only their most important experiments in the few remaining hours left before the shuttle laboratory is closed. The US sapce agency NASA decided Sunday to bring the orbiter home 12 days early because of fears of weakened power generator could explode. The generator has been turned off, leaving the shuttle with only two thirds of its normal power supply. To conserve electricity for the experiments the crew is working in dimmer lighting than normal and has turned off all unessential equipment. NASA says the two remaining generators are sufficient for Tuesday's landing, but had nevertheless ordered the astronauts to study emergency procedures in case another fails. The shuttle team has expressed its disappointment at the curtailment of the science mission, and says enough data have already been collected in the materials, combustion and biological experiments to push science further ahead. The scientist' goal is to complete the experiments on a later shuttle flight. David Batlery, VOA news, Washington.
Why did NASA decide to bring the shuttle home earlier?
A．The laboratory was closed.
B．The generator was turned off.
C．The power generator might explode.
D．Electricity was going to run out.

Scientific Attitude
We all know that science plays an important role in our society.However,many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science.The first aspect is the application of the machines,products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop.The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.
What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all,it seems that a successful scientist is curious一he wants to find out how and why the universe works.He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation,and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected.Moreover,he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective（客观的）and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example,trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum（光谱）.
He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available.He rejects authority as the only basis for truth.Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.
Furthermore,he does not readily accept his own idea,since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instmments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
Lastly,he 15 full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete.Furthermore,he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A:Application of technology.
B:Progress in modem society.
C:Scientists,ways of thinking and acting.
D:How to become a successful scientist.答案：C解析：细节题。第一段第二句：很多人相信我们的进步取决于科学的两个方面······其他选项均过于片面。
细节题。第二段第三句：他通常会注意没有满意解释的问题，并寻找其中的关系，甚至在可获得的数据看起来都并没有关联的时候。可见C选项“他努力研究潜在的关系”是正确的。其他选项均不符合原文意思。
细节题。第四段第一句：他不接受不基于可获得的、最完整的证据的观点。因此A选项“轻易相信未检验的观点”，不会是成功的科学家所做的事情。
细节题。倒数第二段第一句：因为他经常需要寻找数据之间的关系，但这些数据是既复杂通常又是不完整的。

问答题The education of humanists cannot be regarded as complete, or even adequate, without exposure in some depth to where things stand in the various branches of science, particularly, in the areas of our ignorance. Physics professors, most of them, look with revulsion on assignments to teach their subjects to poets. The liberal arts faculties, for their parts, will continue to view the scientists with suspicion and apprehension. But maybe, a new set of courses dealing systematically with ignorance in science will take hold. The scientists might discover in it a new and subversive technique for catching the attention of students driven by curiosity, delighted and surprised to learn that science is exactly as some scientists described it: an “less frontier.” The humanists, for their part, might take considerable satisfaction in watching their scientific colleagues confess openly to not knowing everything about everyone. And the poets, on whose shoulders the future rests, might, late nights, thinking things over, begin to see some meanings that elude the rest of us.正确答案：
人文主义者的教育如果不在一定深度上了解科学各个领域的情况,尤其是我们一无所知的领域,那就不能视为是完全的,或是足够的。大多数的物理教师很反感教诗人物理。而文科教师会继续以怀疑和恐惧的心情看待科学家。或许,那些帮助学生系统地了解科学方面所不知道的东西的新课程将会建立。科学家或许会从中发现新的和具有影响的技巧,来吸引好奇的学生的注意力,而这些学生会惊奇地发现科学正如一些科学家所描述的那样是一个永远也开发不完的处女地。而当人文主义者注意到他们的科学家同事公开承认并不是对任何东西都彻底了解时,也会感到极大的满足。而身上寄托着未来的诗人们,或许在深夜反复思索,开始领会到了我们大多数人所不能理解的意义。解析： 暂无解析 -
第11题：
问答题In one day at a library, 64 people borrowed books. Twice as many people borrowed only a thriller as borrowed only a science fiction book. Three people borrowed a biography only and 11 people borrowed both science fiction and a thriller, but not a biography. The same number borrowed a biography and a thriller but no science fiction as borrowed one of each of the three types. Twenty-one people did not borrow a thriller. One more person borrowed a science fiction book and a biography book than borrowed a biography only. How many people borrowed a thriller only?正确答案： 28 people borrowed a thriller only.解析：
(设三种书都借的人数为X, 那么既借传记又借惊险小说的人数也为X; 设既借传记又借科幻小说的人数为Y；设只借科幻小说的人数为Z，那么只借惊险小说的人数为2Z。根据题意可知：Y=4; Y+Z+3=21; 3Z+2X+Y+11+3=64, 故求出Z=14, 2Z=28.) -

问答题What does the incoherence in Britain’s science education policy reveal?正确答案： Science graduates are not favorably received by the society.解析：
细节题。根据题干可定位到文章第二段。该段中提到，英国很多历史悠久的大学培养出的理科毕业生失业率高达20%，高于五年前的10%。而科学部长和其他一些媒介声称，攻读理科学位的学生数量远远不够。由此可见，理科生一方面人数较少，另一方面就业率低，因此可判断理科毕业生不受社会欢迎。 -

Science and Technology
There is a difference between science and technology.______(46)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.______(47)
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 peoples likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things.
______(48)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.______(49)The purpose of technology is to serve peo- pie-people in general,not merely some people;and future generations,not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.
______(50)Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution,resource depletion（枯竭）and even social decay in generalso 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?______(47)
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.答案：A解析：第一段第一句话就说科学和技术不一样。很自然，下面应该具体讲一下有什么不同。F讲了它们之间的一个不同之处：科学是回答理论问题的方法，技术是解决具体问题的方法。
another distinction表明，这句话前面应该讲到过类似的差别。事实上，第一段的全部内容都是在讲科学和技术之间的差别，第二句话，即46空讲了一点，第三句话又讲了一点，接下来，作者很自然地用another distinction来介绍另外一个差别。
整个第二段是对第一段最后一句话47空的发展，也就是科学和技术的一个不同和它们各自的进步有关。第二段的第一句话讲了科学的进步排除了人的因素，进而解释说科学家力图了解宇宙，尽可能精确地寻求真理，不可能考虑他们自己或者他人的喜好，或者一般人认为他们的发现是否合适。下面，即48空，是一个例子：科学家的发现可能会使人们感到震惊或发怒，如达尔文的进化论。该理论的提出因为和上帝造人的教义相悖，在当时使教会大为恼怒，甚至禁止宣传。
如前所说，整个第二段都是讲科学和技术的差别，前半段主要讲科学，从“But hardly so with technology”开始，作者转向谈技术。在这一句里作者更明确地把科学和技术在人的因素这个方面的差别重复一下。
这句话是最后一段的第一句，可以说是本段的主题句。技术应服务于人类，但技术使用不当带来的负面影响大家都是很熟悉的。 -
