A man who is a 9 scientist is primarily interested in doing his research 10 . He is not necessarily working 11 that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is 12 trying to make something that had a concrete 13 . He may try to solve a problem by using the theories 14 science or by experimenting though trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a 15 result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of 16 other objectives.

本文講述的是發明家和從事應用科學研究的人在早年英國工業革命中所起的作用。第一,四,五題都是測試根據上下文選擇詞義的能力.第一題講到英國 “未受戰爭創傷, 擁有巨大的財富, 豐富的自然資源和充足的勞力, 而這些在促使英國成為工業革命中心的過程都是重要因素”。 這里需要的是表示 “因素” 這類意思的詞, 選項 C) factors正符合這個意思, 因而是答案. 第四題從下半句中的 “發明機器, 發現新能源, 建立商業機構” 等描述可以判斷這類人應該是 “有創造性的”, 因而答案是 D) creative“有創造性的”。 第五題需要的是一個表示 “資源” 意思的名詞, 答案很明顯是 B) sources“資源。
