It was 1943, during World War II, and I was a young U.S. 21 . My ship, the USS Murzim, had been 22 for several days. Most of her holds contain

16、ed thousands of 23 of canned or dried foods. The other holds were loaded with five-hundred-pound bombs packed 24 in padded racks. Our 25 was a big base on the island of Tulagi in the South Pacific. I was one of the Murzims several 26 and, quite the same as for folk ashore, this Thanksgiving morning

17、had seen us busily preparing a traditional dinner 27 roast turkey. Well, as any cook knows, its a lot of hard work to cook and serve a big meal, and clean up and put everything away. But finally, around 28 , we finished at last. I decided first to go out on the Murzims afterdeck for a breath of open

20、assage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Public distrust of scientists stems in part from the blurring of boundaries between science and technology, between discovery and manufacture. Most governments, perhaps all governments, justify public expenditure on scientific researc

21、h in terms of the economic benefits the scientific enterprise has brought in the past and will bring in the future. Politicians remind their voters of the splendid machines “our scientists” have invented. At the same time, the politicians demand of scientists that they tailor their research to “econ

22、omics needs”, that they award a higher priority to research proposals that are “near the market” and can be translated into the greatest return on investment in the shortest time. Dependent, as they are, on politicians for much of their funding, scientists have little choice but to comply. Like the

23、rest of us, they are members of a society that rates the creation of wealth as the greatest possible good. Many have reservations, but keep them to themselves in what they perceive as a climate hostile to the pursuit of understanding for its own sake and the idea of an inquiring, creative spirit. In

24、 such circumstances no one should be too hard on people who are suspicious of conflicts of interest. When we learn that the distinguished professor assuring us of the safety of a particular product holds a consultancy with the company making it, we cannot be blamed for wondering whether his fee migh

25、t conceivably cloud his professional judgment. Even if the professor holds no consultancy with any firm, some people many still distrust him because of his association with those who do, or at least wonder about the source of some of his research funding. This attitude can have damaging effects. It

26、questions the integrity of individuals working in a profession that prizes intellectual honesty as the supreme virtue, and plays into the hands of those who would like to discredit scientists by representing them as venal （可以收买的）. This makes it easier to dismiss all scientific pronouncements, but es

27、pecially those made by the scientists who present themselves as “experts”. The scientist most likely to understand the safety of a nuclear reactor, for example, is a nuclear engineer who declares that a reactor is unsafe, and we believe him, because clearly it is not to his advantage to lie about it

28、. If he tells us it is safe, on the other hand, we distrust him, because he may well be protecting the employer who pays his salary. 31. What is the chief concern of most governments when it comes to scientific research? A） The creativity of scientists. B） The reduction of public expenditure. C） Quick economic returns. D）
