　　What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
　　The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

　　A：The tools he uses.

　　(3)、A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.
　　A：works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times
　　B：does not allow any changes even under different conditions
　　C：can be used for many purposes
　　D：leave no room for improvement
　　答案： A
　　(4)、The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.
　　A：that measurements are keys to success in science
　　B：that accuracy of mathematics
　　C：that investigations are important in science
　　D：that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations
　　答案： C
　　(5)、What is the main idea of the passage? ________

Today each of those propellers is worth $ 300,000 or more. The ship lying on the sea-bed has been brought by a man called John Light. He paid about $ 1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.
