B.plicated.C.plete. D.Concrete.解析:推理判斷題。根據文章倒數第二段中的“datawhichisnotonlyplexbutalsofrequentlyinplete”可知,科學家不得不在復雜且常常不完整的數據中尋找關聯,故選B。答案:B4.Whatdoesthetextmainlydiscuss?A.Applicationoftechnology.B.Progressinmodernsociety.C.Scientists’waysofthinkingandacting.D.Howtobeeasuccessfulscientist.解析:主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,文章主要陳述的是科學家的思維和行為模式。文章從第三段至最后一段都是在具體闡述科學家思維和行為模式,故選C。答案:CⅣ.完形填空。StephenGlennisafamousAmericanresearchscientist.Hehasmadeseveralveryimportantmedical1.Whenanewspaperjournalistaskedhimwhyhewasabletobesomuchmore2thantheaverageperson,herespondedthatitallcamefroma(n)3withhismotherthatoccurredwhenhewasachild.
