　　答案與解析：

　　1. B。細(xì)節(jié)類。第一段第四行：“Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science.”，社會(huì)的進(jìn)步依靠于科學(xué)的兩個(gè)不同方面。所以選B。

　　2. A。細(xì)節(jié)類。第三段作者闡述了什么是科學(xué)家必須具備的好奇心，可用排除法。

　　3. A。細(xì)節(jié)類。第五段“He is skeptical — he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available.”，科學(xué)家常常對(duì)于沒有建立在充分證據(jù)上的論斷持懷疑態(tài)度。

　　4. C。主旨類。文章第三段“What are these special methods of thinking and acting?”是全文的主題句。文章解釋了科學(xué)家的思考和行為方式。

　　5. B。態(tài)度類。文章客觀描述了科學(xué)家的思考和行為方式，沒有加入個(gè)人的主觀評(píng)價(jià)。
