问题 With the emergence of biotechnology companies, it was feared that they would impose silence about proprietary results on their in-house researchers and their academic consultants. This constraint, in turn, would slow the development of biological science and engineering. Which of the following, if true, would tend to weaken most seriously the prediction of scientific secrecy described above?

选项 A、Biotechnological research funded by industry has reached some conclusions that are of major scientific importance.
B、When the results of scientific research are kept secret, independent researchers are unable to build on those results.
C、Since the research priorities of biotechnology companies are not the same as those of academic institutions, the financial support of research by such companies distorts the research agenda.
D、To enhance the companies’ standing in the scientific community, the biotechnology companies encourage employees to publish their results, especially results that are important.
E、Biotechnology companies devote some of their research resources to problems that are of fundamental scientific importance and that are not expected to produce immediate practical applications.

答案D

解析 选项(D)通过说明生物技术公司有很强的动机鼓励他们的研究人员公开发表他们的成果,削弱了关于保密的预测,因此,(D)是正确答案。(A)或(B)或(E)都没有提出任何理由来判断该预测是否能实现。选项(A)和(B)支持一个论述,这个论述是如果关于保密的预测实现了,将减缓生物科学和工程的发展;选项(E)提到生物技术公司将一部分资源投入到没有立即现实收益的基础研究,它只是与该论述不矛盾而已,并不能削弱该预测;(C)中指出的研究的正常次序的扭曲与科学保密问题无关。
