一) 比较结构 1.Science, in practice, depends for less on the experiments it prepares than on the preparedness of the minds of the men who watch the experiments. 2.If experiments are planned and carried out carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents. 3.While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past. 4.Interest in historical methods has arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves. 5.Social science methodologies had to be adapted to a discipline governed by the primacy of historical sources rather than the contemporary world. 6.And since 1991, productivity has increased by about 2% a year, which is more than twice the 1978-1987 averages. 7.But surely that does not mean environmentalists concerned about uncontrolled industrial growth are anti-science, as an essay in U.S. News & World Report last May seemed to suggest. 8.As a result, California’s growth rate dropped during the 1970s, to 18.5 percent-little more than two thirds the 1960s’ growth figure and considerably below that of Western states. 9.Thus, just as earlier theories have explained the mobility of the continents. So hot spots may explain their mutability (inconstancy). 10.As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. 11.Perhaps selections for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. 12.Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold (霉) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. 13.New forms of thought as well as new subjects for thought must arise in the future as they have in the past, giving rise to new standards of elegance. 14.In general, the tests work most effectively when the qualities to be measured can be most precisely defined and least effectively when what is to be measured of predicted can not be well defined. 15.Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools. 16.Probably there is not one here who has not in the course of the day had occasion to set in motion a complex train of reasoning, of the very same kind, though differing in degree, as that which a scientific man goes through in tracing the causes of natural phenomena. 17.There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term than there is on how to interpret or classify them. 18.It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how the6y will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register while the other is on the microscope.
