问题 We live in a society where there is a lot of talk about science, but I would say that there are not 5 percent of the people who are equipped with school, including college, to understand scientific【C1】______. We are more ignorant of science than people with【C2】______education in Western Europe.
There are a lot of kids who know everything about computers—how to build them, how to take them【C3】______, and how to write programs for games. But if you ask them to explain the principles of physics that have gone into【C4】______ the computer, they don’t have the【C5】______idea. The failure to understand science leads to such things as the neglect of human creative power. It also gives rise to the【C6】______of the distinction between science and technology. Lots of people don’t【C7】______between the two. Science is the production of new knowledge that can be applied or not, and technology is the application of knowledge to the production of some products, machinery or the like. The two are really different, and people who have the faculty of one very【C8】______have that for the other. Science in itself is【C9】______, more or less. But as soon as it can provide technology, it’s not【C10】______harmless. No society has yet learned to forecast the consequences of new technology, which can be enormous. And, therefore, nobody can give a definite answer to the question whether science itself is safe.
A. reasoning B. seldom C. comparable D. differ
E. distinguish F. creating G. generally H. apart
I. faintest J. blurring K. harmless L. necessarily
M. tell N. down O. missing
【C9】
选项
答案K
解析 harmless，上下文题。根据词性，此处应当填入形容词。根据文章结尾“…nobody can give a definite answer to the question whether science itself is safe．”可推断此处在探讨科学的安全性，同时下文的转折“But as soon as it can provide technology,it’s not 10_harmless．”进一步提示科学本身是安全无害的，但运用到技术上就不一定了。基于此，答案为harmless。
