(10 points) Scientists and philosophers of science tend to speak as if “scientific language” were intrinsically precise, as if those who use it must understand one another’s meaning, 1 they disagree. But, 2, scientific language is not as different from3language as is commonly believed. it, too, is 4 to imprecision and ambiguity and hence to 5 understanding. Moreover, new theories (or arguments) are rarely,6, constructed by way of clear-cut steps of induction, deduction, and 7 (or falsification). Neither are they defended, rejected, or accepted in 8 straight forward a manner. 9, scientists combine the rules of scientific 10 with a generous mixture of intuition, aesthetics, and philosophical 11. The importance of what are sometimes called extralogical components of thought in the discovery of a new principle or laws is generally 12. We 13 recall Einstein’s description: “To these elementary laws there leads no logical path, 14 intuition, supported by being sympathetically in 15 with experience.” But the role of these extralogical components in persuasion and acceptance (in making an argument 16) is less frequently discussed, partly because they are less 17. The ways in which the credibility or effectiveness of a 18 depends on a realm of common experiences, on extensive practice in communicating those experiences in a common language, are hard to see precisely because such19are taken for granted. Only when we step out of such a “consensual domain”—when we can stand out on the periphery of a 20 with a common language. 1 ［A］ even if［B］ unless［C］ though［D］ if 2 ［A］ in question［B］ in relief［C］ in fact［D］ in prospect 3 ［A］ standard［B］ popular［C］ vulgar［D］ ordinary 4 ［A］ susceptible［B］ subject［C］ immune［D］ related 5 ［A］ imperfect［B］ perfect［C］ impersonal［D］ personal 6 ［A］ if so［B］ if not all［C］ if ever［D］ if any 7 ［A］ verge［B］ verification［C］ justice［D］ certainty 8 ［A］ so［B］ such［C］ too［D］ very 9 ［A］ In brief［B］ In advance［C］ In practice［D］ In company 来源：www.examda.com来源：www.examda.com 10 ［A］ psychology［B］ methodology［C］ archaeology［D］ theology 11 ［A］ community［B］ communication［C］ committee［D］ commitment 12 ［A］ acknowledged［B］ confessed［C］ abandoned［D］ refined 13 ［A］ may［B］ ought to［C］ were to［D］ would 14 ［A］ but rather［B］ no more than［C］ but only［D］ less more than 15 ［A］ pursuit［B］ touch［C］ proportion［D］ terms 16 ［A］ convincing［B］ wordy［C］ ensured［D］ unreasonable 17 ［A］ visual［B］ informed［C］ imaginative［D］ visible 18 ［A］ statement［B］ argument［C］ assertion［D］ style 19 ［A］ commodities［B］ commons［C］ commonalities［D］ commonwealth 20 ［A］ community［B］ person［C］ country［D］nation来源：www.examda.com
