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.
The preceding passage most probably discusses______.

选项 A、the achievements of science
B、some valid experiments
C、effective scientific modes of thought
D、self-correcting character of science

答案A

解析 这是一道推理题。本题的题干“先前的一段文章很有可能讨论……”明确了题目的类型和要求。文章的第一句话提到科学的成功依赖于其自我更正的特性,而全文讲述是科学自我更正的特性,并没有提到科学的成功。因此可以推断,之前的段落一定阐述了科学所取得的成就,也就是选项A所包含的内容。
