빈칸 찾기 문제(35번, 3점) :

Mathematics will attract those it can attract, 

but it will do nothing to overcome resistance to science. 

Science is universal in principle but in practice it speaks to very few. 

Mathematics may be considered a communication skill of the highest type, 

frictionless so to speak; and at the opposite pole from mathematics, 

the fruits of science show the practical benefits of science without the use of words. 

But those fruits are ambivalent. 

Science as science does not speak; 

ideally, all scientific concepts are mathematized when scientists communicate with one another, 

and when science displays its products to non-scientists it need not, 

and indeed is not able to, resort to salesmanship. 

When science speaks to others, it is no longer science, 

and the scientist becomes or has to hire a publicist who dilutes the exactness of mathematics. 

In doing so, 

the scientist reverses his drive toward mathematical exactness 

in favor of rhetorical vagueness and metaphor, thus ______________________. (3점)

① degrading his ability to use the scientific language needed for good salesmanship.

② surmounting the barrier to science by associating science with mathematics

③ inevitably making others who are unskillful in mathematics hostile to science

④ neglecting his duty of bridging the gap between science and the public

⑤ violating the code of intellectual conduct that defines him as a scientist.
