The remarkable progress of science and technology in the 20th century has brought enormous benefits to humankind. Long and healthy lives, economic prosperity and a pleasant and convenient living environment have resulted from technological progress based on advances in scientific knowledge. This progress will continue or may even accelerate in the future, because both the number of scientists and their activities are expanding throughout the world. We may expect, therefore, that science and technology will continue to contribute to the development of human society.
At the same time, rapid scientific advances may raise some difficult problems. First of all, the disparity in scientific knowledge between those in scientific and technical professions and those in other areas will continuously expand. This may create a communications gap between the two groups that could affect obtaining public consent on important issues, such as the use of genetically engineered plants or hu

| Modem technology and science have
produced a wealth of new materials and new ways of using old materials. For the
artist this means wider opportunities. There is no doubt that the limitations of
materials and nature of tools both restrict and shape a man’s work. Observe how
the development of plastics and light metals along with new methods of welding
has changed the direction of sculpture. Transparent plastic materials allow one
to look through an object, to see its various sides superimposed on each other
(as in Cubism or in an X-ray). Today, welding is as prevalent as casting was in
the past. This new method encourages open designs, where surrounding and
intervening space becomes as important as form itself. More ambiguous than other scientific inventions familiar to modem artists, but no less influential, are the psychoanaly A. can cause a lot of changes in sculpture arts B. permit details of an object to be seen clearly C. can superimpose multiple sides of sculptor’s designs D. can make artists adaptable to be surroundings [单项选择]
