2．Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child.She was often told that she was "too quiet" or "too shy"，and as she grew older，she became increasingly self-conscious about her inabiljye.aiy.It wasn't that she didn't have anything to say — far from it.Mary's mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations，but no matter how hard she tried，she just couldn't seem to get the words out.
"Mary，I need to talk to you，" Mr.Thompson，the boss of Mary's new company，said one day，his voice serious.Mary's heart sank. "Don't worry，" Mr.Thompson said，noticing Mary's panic. "It's not that kind of conversation.I just wanted to talk to you about something that's been on my mind lately."
He paused for a moment，collecting his thoughts. "I've noticed that you've been struggling a bit lately.It seems like you're having a tough time communicating with customers.I hear that you're proficient at writing.So why not join our Advertising Department？Besides，I have another suggestion…"
Mary kept nodding，unable to find the words to express her gratitude.

3．Contrary to "popular opinion"，the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable process.To make new discoveries，researchers need the freedom to be creative，fail，and learn by chance.This aspect is similar to art.This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to increase creative freedom.
"Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable.They both provide a perspective on reality，" says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. "From the outside，the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy.But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way."
"Scientists can learn a lot from artists，" says Weijers. "Association and creativity are central to art.Those aspects require more attention in science as the creative process is the key of science."
"As a scientist，you use different methods，but it is equally about how you visualize your understandings of reality and the connections between them. This is sometimes just as visual as art，" says Weijers.One example is a recent special project in which Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel，professor of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter，measured the forces that act on plant cells.A molecular （分子的） sensor was used to visualize the different forces.They showed the results in colorful images，each representing a different force.
What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society.There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science.Weijers says， "It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented，and people do not have any insight into the process leading to discovery.As a scientist，you are doubted if you say something that is different a few years later.Then you are viewed as unreliable.But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science.What we scientists can achieve in the coming period is to provide more chances for people to focus on the process.Personally，I think that the connection with art can help to lead the focus on the process than the result."
（1）What does Dolf Weijers think of science process？
A．It is always serious.
B．It can't be accidental.
C．It doesn't allow failures.
D．It can be unexpected.
（2）What does the underlined sentence "This is sometimes just as visual as art" in paragraph 4 mean？
A．Visualizing is a must for science.
B．Science can be visualized like art.
C．Science should be understood by visualizing.
D．Visualizing is as easy in science as in art.
（3）Why do common people mistrust science in Dolf Weijers' opinion？
A．Scientists usually draw unreliable conclusions.
B．Scientists don't use visualizing to show the results.
C．The scientific process is unknown to them.
D．The scientific results are complex for the public.
（4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Differences Between Science and Art.
B．Similarities Between Science and Art.
C．Scientists and Artists Contribute to the World.
D．Science and Art Are Tools to Understand the World.组卷：4引用：4难度：0.3
