C READING COMPREHENSION (60 POINTS)

PART 1: You are going to read an extract from an article Seven paragraphs have been removed from the extract Choose from paragraphs A-H the one which fits each gap (1-7) There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided (7 points)

A. What are the criteria used by the director of a gallery and his or her advisers whenselecting for exhibition? Is he or she like the editor of a science journal? No, forthere is nothing in art like the peer review so fundamental to science; there are noart critics, just art writers As the editor of a scientific journal it is extremely rarethat my personal view determines whether or not a paper gets published My role is

to choose a good editorial board and to know to whom the papers to be reviewedshould be sent.

B. Bringing visual artists and scientists together merely makes them feel elevated: it isnot a scientific experience Although it must be said that science has had a stronginfluence on certain artists - in the efforts to imitate nature and thus to developperspective or in the area of new technologies - art has contributed virtually nothing

to science

C. Then of the hundreds of thousands of papers published each year, few have alifetime of more than a few years Most disappear with little if any trace Theoriginal papers, with very rare exceptions, like those of Einstein, are never part ofscientific culture and they are not for sale Science, unlike art, is not entertainment

D. What intrigued me at the opening was how the exhibits were chosen There is less

of a problem with well-established artists such as Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon orMatisse It is the very modern works that present the problem

E. How different from this are all the arts No Shakespeare no Hamlet; no Picasso

-no Guernica Moreover a work of art is capable of many interpretations and hasmoral content There is but one correct scientific explanation for any set ofobservations and reliable scientific understanding has no moral or ethical content;that is to say that the scientist does not allow his own reactions to come into play

F. The Oxford University art historian Martin Kemp takes a very different view frommine here He claims that during the 'Scientific Revolution' some artists were able

to play an active role in the dialogue between seeing and knowing He gives thefiery emissions of Joseph Wright's volcanoes painted in the late eighteenth century

as an example Wright's painting of Vesuvius erupting may be dramatic but it owesnothing to geology

G. Art is not constrained by reality It cannot be shown to be wrong And of all the arts,painting is the one least related to science as it does not deal with complex ideas orexplanations, is the easiest to appreciate, and the response is often an emotionalone Ideas in the visual arts come from art critics and historians, not the worksthemselves

H. Science is about understanding how the world works, there being only one rightdescription of any observed phenomenon Unlike the arts it is a collective

endeavour in which the individual is ultimately irrelevant - geniuses merely speed

f one could rerun the history of science and start again it would have a different history b

ut the end results would be the same: water would be H20 and genes would code for proteins but the names would be different

2 _

Whatever the feelings of the scientist, these are absent from the final understanding of aprocess, while art is a personal creation and contains the personal views of the artist Andsince science is a communal process, a scientist has to be very aware of what is known about the problem being investigated There are strict criteria about lack of contradiction a

nd, of course, correspondence with reality Science makes progress, we build on the wor

k of our current and earlier colleagues To talk about progress in art makes no sense, ther

e is change but not progress

3 _

Thus, I cannot understand what is being referred to when there is reference to critical thinking in art In what sense can a painting be right or wrong? Anyone can have views abo

ut a painting and engage in art discussions Non-scientists can thrill to scientific ideas but

to make meaningful comments about them, and I exclude their application to technology,one actually has to have detailed knowledge; science needs a much greater, and quite different, intellectual effort

4 _

It is very rare for referees to recommend acceptance without changes This can be a complex procedure but, in general, authors are grateful for the careful reading and criticism o

f their paper Even so we reject about half of all papers we receive Paintings, however, a

re neither revised nor can be shown to be wrong

5 _

The idea of creativity may make scientists want to be thought of as artists and vice versaand there may well be something similar in all human creativity, but that it is particularlysimilar in scientists and artists is without foundation The similarity between art and science is even less than that between billiards and rugby, both of which at least use a ball.

Art does not explain, but it broadens our experience in ways that are not clearly understo

od I value it in its own terms, but it has nothing to do with understanding how the worldworks To pretend that it does is to trivialise science and do nothing for art We should st

op pretending that the two disciplines are similar, and instead rejoice in the very different

ways that they enrich our culture

Science plays a crucial role in identifying problems related to how natural systemsfunction and deteriorate, particularly when they are affected by an external factor Inturn, scientific findings shape the policies introduced to protect such systems wherenecessary Experts are frequently called upon by politicians to provide evidence whichcan be used to make scientifically sound, or at least scientifically justifiable policydecisions

Issues arise as there are frequent disagreements between experts over the way data

is gathered and interpreted An example of the former is the first scientific evidence of a

hole in the ozone layer by the British Antarctic Survey (1) The findings were at first

greeted by the scientific community with scepticism, as the British Antarctic Survey was

not yet an established scientific community (2) Moreover, it was generally believed that satellites would have picked up such ozone losses if they were indeed occurring (3) It

was not until the methodology of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center was reviewed

that it became apparent that data had been overlooked (4)

With regards to the latter, controversy between scientists may arise where dataanalysis appears to support one policy over another In 1991, the World ResourceInstitute (WRI) published estimates of net emissions and sinks of greenhouse gases for a

number of countries, including India The report provoked criticisms among Indianscientists who argued that the figures had failed to take some significant factors intoaccount, leading to overestimated emission values The WRI was accused of blamingless economically developed countries for global warming; a stance which, if accepted,could impede industrialisation and sustain, even widen, the wealth gap.

Problems regarding the scientific method are well documented and it is widelyaccepted by the scientific community that, however consistent scientists are in theirprocedures, the results born under different circumstances can vary markedly A number

of factors influence research, among them the organisation of a laboratory, the influence

of prevailing theories, financial constraints and the peer review process Consequently,scientists tend to believe they are not in a position to bear universal truths but to revealtendencies

However, this is countered by two factors Firstly, certain scientific institutions

wish to maintain a degree of status as ‘bearers of truth’ Further, policy makers uphold this understanding by requesting scientific certainties in order to legitimise their policy decisions According to a number of authors who have documented this process,

decision makers do not necessarily try to obtain all the information which is or could bemade available regarding an issue Rather, they select that information which isnecessary to fulfil their goals, information termed as ‘half-knowledge’ Attempts to

underplay transboundary issues such as water provision and pollution are cases in

point Politicians clearly cannot pretend that certain data do not exist if they are known in scientific communities or national borders, but some discretion is evident,especially where there is controversy and uncertainty

well-It is important to note that policies regarding scientific issues are influenced in nosmall part by societal factors These include the relative importance of certainenvironmental issues, the degree of trust in the institutions conducting the research, andnot least the social standing of those affected by the issue In other words, environmentalproblems are in many ways socially constructed according to the prevailing cultural,economic and political conditions within a society It has been suggested, for example,that contemporary 'post-materialist' Western societies pay greater attention to 'quality' -including environmental quality – than 'quantity' This theory does not necessarilyassume that people of low-income countries have no interest in environmental
