　　一、阅读测验 40%

　　细读以下四段文字。每段后有四个句子，每个句子有四种补足语意的方法。请选出正确的补足每句语意的单字或短句，将前面的字母(a,b,c或d)写在页右的括弧里。

　　1."Science"is a word formed from the Latin verb Scire,which means"to know". Science means knowing. What is the difference between knowing and thinking or believing?The question can be best answered by an illustration.

　　Suppose a child seems ill. You may feel his head. If it feels hot to you ,you may say he has a fever. What you should say is that you believe he has a fever, because it is possible that your hands are cold.This will make his head feel hot to you even though it is not any hotter than normal. On the other hand ,if you place a good thermometer under his tongue for three minutes (after shaking the thermometer down, of course), and that thermometer reads 102°F., it means the child is running a high temperature. Then you can say he has a fever and know that you are stating a fact.In this case you know he has a fever.

　　In science, we cannot use beliefs or opinions, for we must have proved facts.The facts may be collected either by making careful observations or by setting up experiments.But facts must be collected before a science can be developed.Out of the facts thus collected, knowledge is organized and science is born.
