  Usually social scientists have greater difficulty in their research work than physical scientists. By that I do not mean to belittle (cause to seem unimportant) the great achievements of physical scientists, who have been able, for example, to describe the atom(原子) without seeing it. That is a splendid achievement, yet in many ways it is not so difficult as what social scientists are expected to do. The conditions under which social scientists must work would drive a physical scientist mad. Here are five of those obstacles (障碍) . He can make few experiments, he cannot measure the results exactly, he cannot control the conditions surrounding the experiments, he is often expected to get quick results with low-acting economic force, and he must work with people, not with objects.

[  ]

A.make more achievements to society than physical scientist

B.have settled more problems than physical scientists

C.are no more important than physical scientists

D.face more obstacles than physical scientists in their research work

(2)A physical scientist would find the restrictions (限制) laid upon social scientists ________.

[  ]

A.difficult for him to manage

B.quite easy to deal with

C.like those in his own field

D.helpful to his scientific experiments

(3)The underlined word “that” in the passage refers to ________.

[  ]

A.“difficulty” in the first sentence

B.the first sentence as a whole

C.“to belittle the great achievements of physical scientists” in the second sentence

[  ]

A.not so remarkable as the achievements of social scientists
