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。 -

单选题According to the passage, a “dry” county is most probably a.Adistrict in which alcohol is prohibited
Bcountry that is suffering from drought
Cland where it has usually been very dry
Dwine that contains little alcoholic content
正确答案： A解析：
推断题。第一段指出美国大部分州都取消了《禁酒令》，但南方许多州仍严格禁止售酒。第二段提到local and national business interests试图说服hundreds of dry towns and counties to go wet，由此可以推断dry towns and counties指的是“禁酒地区”，而go wet意为“取消禁酒”。由此推可知选项A为正确答案。 -

第9题：
问答题Directions: Whether to tell the truth to a dying person has long been a controversial problem. Describe the two opposite opinions, and give your comment at the end. Your composition should be at least 160 words.正确答案：
Whether it is right or not to tell a person with incurable disease about the truth has long been a controversial issue. And both sides have their reasons.
Some people hold the opinion that it is the patients' human right to be informed of the real condition of his illness. Only when he knows the fact, could he cooperate with the doctor well. He should know what kind of treatment he is receiving and what medicine he is taking, which is also the customers' right. Under such condition, he could communicate better with the doctors. And even if he is in the last days, he could seize the time to fulfill some wills.
However, other people claim that the illness should be kept as a secret to the patient. Telling the dangerous situation to the patient can only make things worse. This may cause hurt to the patient both physically and psychologically. And the latter cannot be healed easily.
Obviously, both sides are persuasive enough. From my point of view, this can be solved in two ways. The real condition can be informed of the patients who are strong-willed enough. As for the fragile ones, the cruel truth should be kept as a secret.解析： 暂无解析 -

第11题：
问答题The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammarare for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. Arough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical 1．_______words have “less meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them 2．_______“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this is a rather 3．_______misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like theis not the name 4．_______of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a 5．_______sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile” and “the man is vile”, yet theis the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words 6．_______differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in th 7．_______lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been “little words.”But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words 8．_______of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. 9．_______Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say:we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This 10．_______is illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of tele-grams and newspaper headlines.正确答案：
1.去掉the 最高级前不加定冠词时,相当于very(非常)。
2.but改为and 根据上下文可知这里是递进关系。
3.in改为to as opposed to为固定短语,“与…相反”。
4.misled改为misleading mislead用来修饰way,要用现在分词,表示“误导人的”而misled是“被误导”。
5.去掉away far away from为固定短语,表示“离……很遥远”。
6.single改为only single单一的,一个的,强调“一个”。only惟一。
7.as改为in differ from…in…表示“在…(方面)与…不同”,
8.mean改为means by no means根本不…,是固定短语。
9.在have和lexical中间加such,或将as改为like such as是固定搭配,作“诸如”讲。

问答题The science of architecture, followed out in its full (1)____extent, is one of the noblest of that which have reference (2)____only to the creations of human mind. It is not merely ascience of the rule and compass, it does not consist onlyin the observation of just rule, or of fair proportion：it was, (3)____or ought to be, a science of feeling more than of rule, aministry to the mind, than to the eye. If we consider how (4)____much less the beauty and majesty of a building depend (5)____its pleasing certain prejudices of the eye, than upon itsrousing certain trains of meditation in the mind, it willshow in a moment how much intricate questions of feeling (6)____are involved in the raising of an edifice；it will convinceus of the truth of a proposition, which might at last have (7)____appeared startling, that no man can be an architect, whois not a metaphysician. With the illustration of the department of this noble (8)____science which may be designated the Poetry of Architecture, this and some future articles will be dedicated. It is this peculiarity ofthe art that constitutes its nationality：and it will be found asinteresting as it is useful, to trace in the distinctive characters of thearchitecture of nations, not only its adaptation to the situation (9) ____and climate in which it has arisen, but its strong similarity to, and connection to, the prevailing turn of mind by which the nation who (10)____first employed it is distinguished.正确答案： 1.in→to to some/full extent表示达到…程度,为固定用法。
2.that→those 通过起修饰作用的定语从句which have…中的谓语动词可知所修饰的词为复数形式,因此改为those,表复数概念。
3.was→is 本句为时态为现在时,因此改为is。
4.在mind后面加more …more than…与其说…不如…,属于固定用法。
5.depend后面加upon或on depend upon依靠,由…决定,属于固定搭配。
6.much→many questions为可数名词复数,要用how many提问。

第18题：
It may be pointed out that warfare（战争）as practiced by man has no parallel in nature,This is to say that within the more highly developed animal populations of this earth,there is not now.nor has there been similar destruction within a species（物种）itself.In fact,one has to go to the lowliest forms of animal life,such as certain kinds of ants,to find anything comparable to human warfare.It is a curious fact that mankind appears to give the killing of his own kind a good reason by imaging that it is a"law of nature".There are now a lot of wrong ideas about the laws of nature,of which this is one of the most incorrect and fateful（致命的）.Political beliefs have been based upon it with results that have come near to destroying human civilization.The theory that war is a biological necessity.that it is nature′s method of controlling population and believing in the survival（生存）of the strong and the elimination（灭亡）of the weak,is totally wrong and insupportable.Within the last century.when wars have been common all over the world,the human population of the earth has almost doubled.
The author of this passage seems to be the"law of nature".A.against
B.in favor of
C.uncertain of
D.very much interested in答案：A解析：考情点拨：推理判断题。应试指导：本文作者指出，自然法则是完全错误的，进而举例说，尽管上世纪战争不断，人口还是几乎增加了一倍。所以，作者是反对“自然法则”的。 -

Bbelieves in both Animism and Zoroastrianism
Cthinks that Freudian theory is sound
Dthinks that the truth is not in the hand of Freud
正确答案： D解析：
态度题。从第七段最后一句提到的“But as to Freud’s claims upon truth, the judgment of time seems to be running against him.”，可知对于弗洛伊德自称的真理，时间的证明似乎对其不利。因此选项D描述的“作者认为真理并不非掌握在弗洛伊德手中”为正确答案。 -

单选题The goal of the blogs in this case has been to confirm ______ that the report was fake, and then squeeze the truth out of the facts.Adoubts
Bsuspects
Csuspicions
Duncertainty
正确答案： A解析：
近义词辨析。句意：在这个事件中，博客所起的作用就是证实报道有误的猜疑，并挖掘出真相。虽然doubt和suspicion均有“猜疑，怀疑”的意思，但doubt作名词时，一般在否定句和疑问句中用that引导从句，例如：There is no doubt that he is lying.（毫无疑问他在说谎）。因此选项C更合适。suspect作名词时，意为“嫌疑犯”。uncertainty不确定；不可靠；半信半疑。 -
第21题：
问答题The Importance of being Interested 1) Now I have recalled these beginnings of the careers of Franklin, Darwin and Mozart because they strikingly illustrate a profound psychological truth the significance of which can scarcely be overestimated. 2) It is fl truth, to be sure, that has long been partially recognized. 3)But its full meaning has not been--and could not be—appreciated until quite recently. 4)Only within the past few years has scientific research effected various discoveries which make its complete recognition possible and of supreme importance—of such importance that practical application of the principles involved would make for an immediate and stupendous increase in human happiness, efficiency, and welfare. 5)Stated briefly, the truth in question is that success in life, meaning thereby t he accomplishment of results of real value to the individual and to society, depends chiefly on sustained endeavor springing out of a deep and ardent interest in the tasks of one's chosen occupation.正确答案：
1)现在我已回顾了富兰克林,达尔文和莫扎特刚开始事业时的情况。因为这些事雄辩地说明了心理方面的一个深刻的真理,其意义再强调也不过分。2)确实,这是一个长期来并没有充分认识的真理,3)直到前不久,其全部意义才被,才可能被理解。4)只是在最近几年里科学研究才作出种种发现,使得完全认识这一真理成为可能,并变得极其重要,以至于它所涉及到的原则运用到实践中去会立即和极大地提高人的效力,给人类带来幸福和康乐。5)简单地说,这个真理就是生活的成功,即实现个人和社会的真正价值的结果主要取决于坚持不懈的努力,这种努力是来源于对自己所选择的事业深深的和炽热的兴趣。解析： 暂无解析 -
