V. Reading Comprehension: Choose the best answer to each question/statement below according to what is stated and implied in each passage. Questions 41-42 Years ago, Prof. J. D. Bernal wrote a canonical essay on science and industry, which was later included in a series of essays concerning the frustration of science. This edited volume of essays bore witness to the sense of social responsibility of individual scientific men at least, and to their concerns with tendencies or forces which are preventing science from bringing its full benefits to mankind. Somewhat earlier, in "Scientific Research and Social Needs," Prof. Julian Huxley gave a popular picture of the extent to which scientific advance is influencing every aspect of everyday life and a brief forecast of some of the further possibilities if we can lessen or close the wide gap between scientific knowledge and its application to the needs of humanity. In this vein, Lord Stamp in "The Science of Social Adjustment" called for research on urgent problems arising from the impact of science on society. In this effort, scientific workers have become aware that, for the first time since the Renaissance, science itself is in danger, and that political forces are threatening not merely the direction but even the existence of science.

We can infer from the passage that
- A there is no gap between science inquiry and the needs of humanity.
- B scientific breakthroughs are always in line with politics and industry.
- C scientific discoveries have not increased mankind's social responsibility.
- D science's ultimate potential has been inadvertently thwarted by politics.
- E scientists feel indifferent towards their social responsibility.

請仔細閱讀文章的最後一句，觀察作者如何描述「政治力量」（political forces）與「科學本身」（science itself）之間的關係？這種力量對科學的「存在」（existence）產生了什麼樣的作用？

恭喜你精準捕捉到了文章的核心意旨！這題能答對，代表你具備優秀的邏輯推導能力。這篇文章的主軸在於科學與社會、政治之間的複雜關係，特別是當前科學發展所面臨的困境。
科學發展與外部干擾
文章中提到，科學知識與其對人類需求的實際應用之間存在著「巨大的差距」（wide gap），且多位學者的著作都一致反映出科學正受到某些力量的阻礙。最後一節明確點出，自文藝復興以來，「政治力量」（political forces）不僅威脅著科學發展的方向，甚至威脅到了科學的生存。這正好驗證了選項 (D) 的核心論點：科學的潛能因為政治因素而受到了阻撓（thwarted）。雖然文中的科學家對社會責任充滿熱情，但外在環境的壓力使得科學無法發揮其完整效益。
