參考答案及解析：

1．D。譯文：泰勒教授的談話已表明，科學(xué)已對科學(xué)家以及非科學(xué)家的日常生活產(chǎn)生了很大的影響。motivation動機(jī)。perspective看法，觀點，觀察，前景。impression印象。impact影響，沖擊。根據(jù)辨析可見，選項D符合題意要求。

2．A。譯文：經(jīng)理高度贊揚他的雇員表現(xiàn)出來的諸如忠誠、勇氣和坦率等美德。四個名詞的意思分別是：virtues美德。features特征。properties物理屬性，財產(chǎn)。characteristics（性格等方面的）特征。原句中l(wèi)oyalty（忠誠），courage（勇氣）和truthfulness（誠實）等詞都屬于美德的范疇，故A是正確答案。

3．C。譯文：報紙沒有報導(dǎo)這次大火造成的損壞程度。range范圍、區(qū)域，表示可以達(dá)到或探測到的最大范圍，即the maximum area in which it can reach things or detect things。level水平、程度，指一個量表或序列中的位置，即a position in a scale or rank。extent程度，the extent of the damage意為“損失的程度”。quantity數(shù)量。根據(jù)本題句意，要表示的不是火災(zāi)的范圍、水平和數(shù)量，而是火災(zāi)造成的損壞程度，故C是正確答案。
