Science and Technology短文阅读及答案

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 auracy

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 ---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.
