UNIT 1SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTSSCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS单元主题语境：人与社会一片突出贡献的人物 The fundamental spirit of science lies in seeking truth.科学的根本精神在于追求真理-类文赏读话题导入The Value of ScienceWhat is the value of the science I had long devoted myself to-the thing I had loved-when I saw what terrible things it could do?course, if we make good things, it is not only to the credit1 of science; it is also to the credit of the moral choice which led us to good work.Scientific knowledge is an enabling power to do either good or badbut it does not carry instructions on how to apply it.Such power has obvious value一even though the power may be negated by what one does with it.Another value of science is the intellectual2 enjoyment it can provide us with.When we look at any question deeply enough, we feel the excitement and mystery coming to us again and again.With more knowledge comes a deeper, more wonderful mystery, inspiring one to lookdeeper still.Never concerned that the answer may let us down3, with pleasure and confidence we turn over each new stone to find unimagined strangeness leading on to more wonderful questions and mysteries.I would now like to turn to a third value that science has.The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance4 and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of very great importance.When he has an idea as to, what the result is, he is uncertain.And when he is pretty sure of what the result is going to be, he is still in some doubt.our freedom to doubt was born out of a deep and strong struggle against authority7 in the early days of science.In order to progress, we must not forget the importance of this struggle; we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt.Permit us to questionto doubtto not be sure.It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress that is the fruit of freedom of thought, to declare8 the value of this freedom； to teach how doubt is not to be feared but to be welcomed and discussed； and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations.（节选自译林版新教材必修第三册Unit 4）|词汇积累|1. credit /'kredit/ n.赞扬，认可；信用intellectual/jntSlektJual/q力.脑力的；有才智的，智力兴旺的n.知识分子，脑力劳动者2. let sb.down使某人失望ignorance /'ignarans/ n. 无知3. as to 关于；至于take it for granted /'gra:ntid/想当然地认为；认为是理所当然4. authority /oi'Scrati/ n.权威，权力；官方declare/di'klea"）/宣称;宣布；申报靓句背诵The first way in which science is of value is familiar to everyone： scientific knowledge enables us to do and make all kinds of things.科学有价值的第一种方式为每个人所熟悉：科学知识使我们能够做各种事并创造各种各样的 东西。K句式分析X 此句中含有in which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the first way； enable sb.to do sth.使某人能够做某事。1.
