[单项选择]Passage Four

In science the meaning of the word "explain" suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality. Science can not really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modem scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification of amber. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces "really" are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, "is not a thing, like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave." When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell. Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand A. The speculations of Thales B. The forces of electricity, magnetism, and gravity C. Aristotle’s natural science D. Galileo’s discoveries 查看答案 更多"Passage Four In science t"的相关试题: [单项选择]Passage Four In science the meaning of the word "explain" suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality.

A simple example of a cause is the movement of a paddle as it strikes a ping-pong ball; the effect is the movement of the ball through the air. In psychology and other sciences, the word "cause" is often replaced by the term "independent variable". This term implies that the experimenter is often "free" to vary the independent variable as he or she desires (for example, the experimenter can control the speed of the paddle as it strikes the ball). The term "dependent variable" replaces the word "effect", and this term is used because the effect depends on some characteristic of the independent variable (the flight of the ball depends on the speed of the paddle). The conventions of science demand that both the in A. cause and effect can be independent of each other B. there is hardly anything that happens without a cause C. dependent and independent variables affect each other D. cause and effect may vary respectively in most events 查看答案 [单项选择] Passage Four There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language - all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks(路标) along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles(障碍). In this process, the journey never really ends; there are al A. he has given up his smoking habit B. he has made great efforts in his work C. he is interested in making anything new D. he has tried to determine where he is on his journey 查看答案 [单项选择]Passage One In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality.

Long and healthy lives, economic prosperity and a pleasant and convenient living environment have resulted from technological progress based on advances in scientific knowledge. This progress will continue or may even accelerate in the future, because both the number of scientists and their activities are expanding throughout the world. We may expect, therefore, that science and technology will continue to contribute to the development of human society. At the same time, rapid scientific advances may raise some difficult problems. First of all, the disparity in scientific knowledge between those in scientific and technical professions and those in other areas will continuously expand. This may create a communications gap between the two groups that could affect obtaining public consent on important issues, such as the use of genetic A. the difficulties faced by young people in finding jobs B. the gap between scientific and technical professionals and non-professionals C. the difficult problems raised by rapid scientific advances D. scientific research in the 21st century 查看答案 我来回答: 提交 最新试题 ●    [填空题]安全生产中要树立的四种意识是（ ）、责任意识、（ ）、规则 ●    {{B}}Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversat ●    [多选题]以下关于盾构洞门、联络通道施工规定中.正确的是( ). ●    [单选题]针对（ ）组网，站点单站验证时，需要同时验证FDD LTE和5G NR ●    [单选题]区别绒毛膜癌与侵蚀性葡萄胎最主要的依据是 ●    [单选题]事故调查处理应当坚持( )的原则。 网站地图 我要搜题网  版权所有  ©2023  湘ICP备18016427号   购买搜题卡查看答案 [会员特权] 开通VIP， 查看 全部题目答案 [会员特权] 享免全部广告特权 推荐91天 ¥36.8 ￥80元 31天 ¥20.8 ￥40元 365天 ¥88.8 ￥188元 请选择支付方式 微信支付 支付宝支付 点击支付即表示同意并接受了《购买须知》 立即支付 系统将自动为您注册账号 已有账号登录 找回账号密码 请使用微信扫码支付 订单号： 请不要关闭本页面，支付完成后请点击【支付完成】按钮 支付完成 取消支付 恭喜您，购买搜题卡成功 系统为您生成的账号密码如下： 账号 密码 重要提示：请拍照或截图保存账号密码！ 我要搜题网官网：https://www.woyaosouti.com 我已记住账号密码
