Question

A land free from destruction(毁灭，破坏), plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply —— all these were important1in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution.2they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men ——3individuals who could invent machines, find new4of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society. The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution5from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were6inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research7.He is not necessarily working8that his findings can be used.

He may try to solve a problem by9the theories10science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a11result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb(灯泡), or one of12other objectives. Most of the people who13the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had little or no training in science might not have made their inventions14a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years15.
