The evolution of the social sciences has reached a crucial point that might be called a phase change in which old, atomistic, and impressionistic ways of doing research are superseded by a far more systematic and united methodology. To bring social sciences to the level of rigor already achieved by some of the physical sciences, a new type of facility will be needed. This will be a trans-disciplinary, Internet-based collaboratory that will provide social and behavioral scientists with the databases, software and hardware tools, and other resources to conduct worldwide research that integrates experimental, survey, geographic, and economic methodologies on a much larger scale than was possible previously. This facility will enable advanced research and professional education in economics, sociology, political science, social geography, and related fields.
In many branches of social sciences, a new emphasis on the rigor of formal laboratory experimentation has driven researchers to develop procedure and software to conduct online interaction experiment using computer terminals attached to local area networks. The opportunity to open these laboratories to the Internet will reduce the cost per research participant and increase greatly the number of institutions, researchers, students, and research participants who can take part. The scale of social sciences experimentation can increase by an order of magnitude or more, examining a much wider range of phenomena and ensuring great confidence in results through multiple replication of crucial studies.
Technology for administering questionnaires to very large numbers of respondents over the Internet will revolutionize survey research. Data from past questionnaire surveys can be the springboard for new surveys with vastly larger numbers of respondents at lower cost than by traditional methods. Integrated researches can combine modules using both questionnaire and experimental methods.Results can be linked via geographic analysis to other sources of data including census information, economic statistics, and data from other experiments and surveys. Longitudinal studies will conduct time-series comparisons across data sets to chart social and economic trends. Each new study will be designed so that the data automatically and instantly becomes part of the archives, and scientific publications will be linked to the data sets on which they are based so that the network becomes a universal knowledge system.
It is implied in the first paragraph that
选项
A、there should be no difference in methodology between physical and social sciences.
B、social sciences lag far behind physical science in terms of methodology.
C、social sciences have achieved little due to limited data.
D、the Internet can never advance scientific research unless it is properly used.
答案
B
解析
推论题。文章第一段指出:社会科学的发展已经到达了一个可以被称作“阶段性变化”的关键时期,在这个时期,过时的、原子论的、根据主观印象的研究方法被 一种更系统、更统一的研究方法所取代;为了使社会科学的研究达到某些自然科学已经达到的精确程度,我们需要一种新设备。由此可以推知,社会科学的研究方法落后于自然科学。这与B的意思相符。文中没有提到A;文中说的是社会科学的研究方法落后,并没有说其数据有限,所以C不对;文中是说“这将是一个跨学科的、以互联网为基础的‘公共实验室’,这种实验室将……使他们能够在比以往更大的规模上,将实验、调查、地理学以及经济学的方法结合起来,进行全球范围的研究”,说明D不对。
