问题     But the success of science, both its intellectual excitement and its practical application, depends upon the self-correcting character of science. There must be a way of testing any valid idea. It must be possible to reproduce any valid experiment. The characters or beliefs of scientists are irrelevant; all that matters is whether the evidence supports their contention. Arguments from authority simply do not count; too many authorities have been mistaken too often. I would like to see these very effective scientific modes of thought communicated by the schools and media; and it would certainly be astonishment and delight to see them introduced into politics. Scientists have been known to change their minds completely and publicly when presented with new evidence or new arguments. I cannot recall the last time a politician displayed a similar openness and willingness to change.
In the eyes of the author, ______.

选项 A、scientists always respect facts
B、politicians are as open and willing to change their minds as scientists
C、it is quite easy to see scientific manners in a politician
D、both scientists and politicians are changeable and flexible

答案A

解析 这是一道观点态度题,要求考生根据上下文推测作者的观点或态度。文章的最后两句话明确表示了作者的观点:科学家们在新的证据或新的论证出现的时候会公开并彻底地改变他们的观点,可我不记得有哪个政客表示过类似要改变其观点的诚意。也就是说作者认为科学家们尊重事实,以事实为依据,一旦出错会勇于承认,而政客们往往不愿意承认自己犯错。B项“政客和科学家一样,都愿意改变自己的观点”,C项“很容易在政客身上见到科学态度”,D项“科学家和政客都是灵活善变的”都不能体现作者的观点。
