Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase marked A, B, C or D for each numbered blank. The use of nuclear power has already spread all over the world. 1 , scientists still have not agreed 2 what should be done with the large amounts of waste materials that 3 to increase every year. Most waste materials are 4 of simply by placing them somewhere. But nuclear waste must be 5 with great care. It 6 dangerous radiation and it will continue to be 7 for hundreds of, thousands, even millions of years. How should we get 8 of such waste material in such a way 9 it will not harm the 10 Where can we 11 distribute it One idea is to put this radioactive waste inside a thick container, which is 12 dropped to the deep bottom of the ocean. 13 some scientists believe that this way of 14 nuclear waste could kill fish and other living things in the oceans or interfere 15 their growth. Another way to 16 nuclear waste is to send it into space, to the sun, 17 it would be burned. Other scientists suggest that this polluting material be 18 thousands of meters under the earth’s surface. Such underground areas must be free 19 possible earthquake. Advances are being made. But it may still be many years 20 this problem could be finally settled.

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.The differences in relative growth of various areas of scientific research have several causes. 1 Some of these causes are completely reasonable results of social needs. Others are reasonable consequences of particular advances in science being to some extent self-ac-celerating. Some, however, are less reasonable processes of different growth in which preconceptions of the form scientific theory ought to take, by persons in authority, act to alter the growth pattern of different areas. This is a new problem probably not yet unavoidable; but it is a frightening trend. 2 This trend began during the Second World War, when several governments came to the conclusion that the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen in detail. It can be predicted, however, that from time to time questions, will arise which will require specific scientific answers, it is therefore generally valuable to treat the scientific establishment as a resource or machine to be kept in functional order. 3 This seems mostly effectively done by supporting a certain amount of research not related to immediate goals but of possible consequence in the future. This kind of support, like all government support, requires decisions about the appropriate recipients of funds. Decisions based on utility as opposed to lack of utility are straightforward. But a decision among projects none of which has immediate utility is more difficult. The goal of the supporting agencies is the praisable one of supporting "good" as opposed to "bad" science, but a valid determination is difficult to make. Generally, the idea of good science tends to become confused with the capacity of the field in question to generate an elegant theory. 4 However, the world is so made that elegant systems are in principle unable to deal with some of the world’s more fascinating and delightful aspects. 5 New forms of thought as well as new subjects for thought must arise in the future as they have in past, giving rise to new standards of elegance.
