参考答案【正确答案：C】
本题所问的问题是作者对科学持何种态度？作者在文章的最后一段的前两句指出：But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up can’t be answered, sooner or later…在最后一句再次指出Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention. 因此，可以推断出选项C是答案。本文未提及A、B和D项，故这3个选项是错的。
