By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units,【T4】______ and use it as the basis for further research. But specialization was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication. Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity. No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word "amateur" does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully share its values. The growth of specialization in the nineteenth century, with its consequent requirement of a longer, more complex training, implied greater problems for amateur participation in science.【T5】______ , and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom. A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper. Thus, in the nineteenth century, local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own right; but, in the twentieth century, local studies have increasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate, and reflect on, the wider geological picture.【T6】______ in the old way. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century. As a logical consequence of this development, separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.
单选题 【T1】
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:本题主要考查固定搭配。“be based on”为固定搭配,是“根据,以……为基础"的意思,符合题意。所以,答案是on。
单选题 【T2】
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析:根据空格前的助动词have和空格后的动词原形pursue可知,空格处要填入过去分词形式。所以,答案是continued to。
单选题 【T3】
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:本题主要考查固定搭配。“continue to do sth.”为固定搭配,是“继续做某事”的意思,符合题意。所以,答案是handle。
单选题 【T4】
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析:空格前一句的意思为:专业化可以被看作对科学知识不断增加问题的应对之策。空格后一句的意思为:然而,专业分工仅是科学上影响交流进程的一系列相关科学发展的一个方面。故空格所在句的意思应为:通过把科学知识分成更小的单位,人们能够继续掌握这些知识,并把它作为进一步研究的基础。所以,C项符合题意。
单选题 【T5】
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析:根据语境可知,空格所在句的意思为:这一趋势在以数学或实验室培训为基础的科学领域里自然表现得尤为突出。英国地质学的发展可以阐明这种趋势。所以,A项符合题意。
单选题 【T6】
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:空格前一句的意思为:在19世纪,区域地质学研究本身象征着有价值的科研活动;但是,在20世纪,区域研究只有收编并仔细考虑更广泛的地质学问题,才会逐渐被专业人员接受。空格后一句的意思为:其结果导致了业余人员在专业地质刊物上发表论文更加困难。空格所在句的意思为:另一方面,业余人员继续以其熟悉的方式从事区域研究。所以,B项符合题意。
