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.

請仔細閱讀文章最後一句話中關於「政治力量（political forces）」的動詞。這個動詞所傳達的情緒，是科學家在尋求政治界的「協助」，還是感受到政治界的「壓力」？請根據這個動向，重新檢視各個選項對政治介入的描述是否符合文意。

恭喜你精準地鎖定了正確答案！這題的核心在於區辨文章中提到的「政治力量」究竟扮演什麼角色。你能從整篇論述科學與社會脫節、科學面臨困境的語境中，敏銳地觀察到 (B) 選項對政治與科學關係的誤讀，顯示你對文章批判性基調的掌握非常扎實。
政治與科學的緊張關係
這題的鑑別度在於考驗學生是否能區分「文章提及的主題」與「作者真正的態度」。文中確實提到了政治與科學，但關鍵在於最後一句：政治力量正處於「威脅（threatening）」科學發展甚至生存的地位。選項 (B) 卻描述學者正「敦促政客行使權力來為科學鋪路」，這與原文描述政治作為「阻礙者」的形象完全相反。相比之下，其餘選項如科學面臨文藝復興以來最大的生存風險（選項 C），或是呼籲填補科學與社會需求的鴻溝（選項 D），都能在文中找到 Bernal、Huxley 與 Stamp 等學者的論點支持。這類推論題最容易出錯的地方就在於選項看似合理，但細看其「動機」與「因果」卻與原文背道而馳，你能避開這個陷阱非常不容易！
