Question

阅读理解

　　As the horizons of science have been expended, two main groups of scientists have formed. One is pure scientist; the other is the applied scientist.

　　The pure or theoretical scientist does original research in order to understand the basic laws of nature that govern(支配) our world. The applied scientist adapts(使适应) this knowledge to practical problems. Neither is more important than the other, however, for the two groups are very much related.

　　Sometimes, however, the applied scientist finds the “problems” for the theoretical scientist to work on. Let's take a particular problem of the aircraft metals. Many of the metals which work well in a car cannot be used in a jet plane, because the jet engine operates at a much higher temperature than an automobile engine, so aircraft designers have to turn to the researchers for the development of metals that would do the job in jet planes.

　　Dividing scientists into two group－pure and applied－is only one broad way of classifying them, however. When scientific knowledge was very limited, there was no need for men to specialize(专门化). Today, with the great body of scientific knowledge, scientists specialize in many different fields. Within each field, there is even further subdivision(再划分). And, with finer and finer subdivisions, the various sciences have become more and more related until no one branch is entirely independent of the others. Many new specialists(专业) have resulted from combining the knowledge of two or more sciences.
