　　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 people's 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 people ―― 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 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?

　　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 w 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

　　46. F　　47. A　　48. C　　49. B　　50. E

　　解析：

　　46. F　第一句總述了科學和技術是有差別的。這句是中心句，那么整段話都應該圍繞科學和技術的差別來講。并且第三句話很長，中間用了一個分號隔開，前半部分是Science，后半部分是Technology，其實第三句就是詳細說了科學和技術的內容及手段。所以空白處應該是科學和技術的簡單定義最合適。所以答案選擇F。

　　47. A　因為要填的句子是段落的最后一句，所以應該考慮是不是承上啟下的關系，我們看第二段的第一句Progress in science excludes the human factor.這里出現了progress一詞，所以這是科學和技術的另一個區別。由選項A引出。

　　48. C　第二段針對第一段最后一句，闡述了在人們對待科學和技術的發展上的不同。科學是排除認為因素的，科學家的發現可能會使人們吃驚或發怒，但即使是令人不快的真理也極可能很有用。

　　49. B　缺空前文都是對科學的說明，下文接著講技術。此處 Unlike 一轉，指出技術是用人為因素來衡量的。

　　50. E 本段在講技術發展給生活帶來的負面影響。因此看選項得知應選 E：我們所熟知的是對技術的不當利用。
