Passage 2
What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is \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. (263 words) 11. What makes a scientist according to the passage? A. The tools he uses.

以下短文中共包含5个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中空缺部分，请从A.B.C.D.E五个选项中选出正确选项。
It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the same work. But it is not as easy as it appeals at first __21__ to introduce equal pay for equal work.
Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one may be doing it twice as fast as the __22__; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paid for in this __23__ is called piece-work. But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into __24__. This usually means that the younger and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the __25__ and more experienced one, which seems reasonable enough.
21 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account 22 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account 23 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account 24 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account 25 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account
