《考研英语阅读命题思路透析和真题揭秘》1998年Passage 3(2)

印建坤 群言出版社/2008-10-04

  Few would dispute that the term applies to the Unabomber, those manifesto, published in 1995, scorns science and longs for return to a pretechnological utopia. But surely that does not mean environmentalists concerned about uncontrolled industrial growth are antiscience, as an essay in US News & World Report last May seemed to suggest.

  The environmentalists, inevitably, respond to such critics. The true enemies of science, argues Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University, a pioneer of environmental studies, are those who question the evidence supporting global warming, the depletion of the ozone layer and other consequences of industrial growth.

  Indeed, some observers fear that the antiscience epithet is in danger of becoming meaningless. “The term ‘antiscience’ can lump together too many, quite different things,” notes Harvard University philosopher Gerald Holton in his 1993 work Science and Anti Science. “They have in common only one thing that they tend to annoy or threaten those who regard themselves as more enlightened.”

  61. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

  [A] Environmentalists were blamed for antiscience in an essay.

  [B] Politicians are not subject to the labeling of antiscience.

  [C] The “more enlightened” tend to tag others as antiscience
