Part ⅤError Correction

Direction:This part consists of a short passage. In this passage, there are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line. You may have to change a word, add a word or delete a word. Mark out the mistakes and put the corrections in the blanks provided. If you change a word, cross it out and write the correct word in the corresponding blank. If you add a word, put an insertion mark (∧) in the right place and write the missing word in the blank. If you delete a word, cross it out and put a slash (/) in the blank.

We live in a society in there is a lot of talk about 67

science, but I would say that there are not 5 percent of

the people who are equipped with schooling, including

college, to understand scientific reasoning. We are

more ignorant of science as people with comparable 68

educations in Western Europe.

There are a lot of kids who know everything about

computers—how to build them, how to take them apart,

how to write programs for games. So if you ask them 69

to explain about the principles of physics that have gone 70

into creating the computer, you don't have the faintest idea. 71

The failure to understand science leads to such

things like the neglect of the human creative power. 72

It also takes rise to a blurring(模糊) of the distinction 73

between science and technology. Lots of people don't

differ between the two. Science is the production 74

of new knowledge that can be applied or not, since 75

technology is the application of knowledge to the

production of some products, machinery or the like.

The two are really very different, and people who have

the faculty for one very seldom have a faculty for the other.

Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But as

soon as it can provide technology, it is not necessarily

harmful.No society has yet learned how to forecast the 76

consequences of new technology, which can be enormous.
