12、y say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the crossing.

Some of them are to be found in other fields of life. Early in this century, a group of doctors was trying to
18、 discover the cause of the dangerous disease called yellow fever. At that time it was one of the worst diseases known, thousands of people were dying of it every year. It had been suggested that the disease was caused by the bite of a certain mosquito. That is, it was thought that a certain kind of
19、mosquito would bite a person ill with yellow fever and then, flying elsewhere, bite another person and give him the disease. To prove whether or not this was true, one of the doctors, Dr. James Carroll, allowed such a mosquito to bite him after it had bitten a yellow fever patient. He knew that the
20、bite of this mosquito might cause his death, but he made the trial. Dr. Carroll became very ill with yellow fever but finally recovered. The risk this hero took, however, helped to save the lives of many thousands of people. He had proved that yellow fever is carried by a mosquito. 21. What is the a

24、Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage: In science the meaning of the word “ explain ” suffers with civilization? s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism , and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no
25、 more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish-brown gum. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “ really ” are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell say
26、s, “is not a thing, like St. Paul? s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea.
27、Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated western thought for two thousand years, believe that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning form self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its pr
28、oper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that? s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that? s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen an
