A simple idea supports science: "trust, but verify". Results should always be【C1】________to challenge from experiment. That simple but powerful idea has【C2】________a vast body of knowledge.【C3】________its birth in the 17th century, modern science has changed the world【C4】________ recognition, and overwhelmingly for the better.
But success can【C5】________self-contentment. Modern scientists are doing too much trusting and not enough verifying, which does harm to both the whole of science and humanity.
Too many of the【C6】________that fill the academic field are the result of inferior experiments or poor analysis. A rule of thumb among biotechnology venture-capitalists is that half of【C7】________research cannot be reproduced. Even that may be【C8】________. Last year researchers at one biotech firm, Amgen, found they could reproduce just six of 53 "landmark" studies in cancer research. Earlier, a group at Bayer, a drug company,【C9】________to repeat just a quarter of 67 similarly important papers. A leading computer scientist complains that three-quarters of papers in his subfield are nonsense.
The reasons might lie in this: researchers are no longer willing to verify hypothesis investigated by other scholars since these papers have rare chance to be published. All this makes a poor foundation for an enterprise dedicated【C10】________discovering the truth about the world What might be done to shore it up? One【C11】________ should be for all disciplines to follow the example of those that have done most to tighten standards.
【C12】________research protocols should be registered in advance and monitored in virtual notebooks. This would【C13】________the temptation to distort the experiment’s design so as to make the results look more【C14】________ than they are.【C15】________possible, trial data also should be open for other researchers to【C16】________and test.
Science still【C17】________enormous respect. But its privileged【C18】________is founded on the capacity to be right most of the time and to correct its mistakes when it gets things wrong. And it is not as if the universe is short of【C19】________mysteries to keep generations of scientists hard【C20】________. The false trails laid down by inferior research are an unforgivable barrier to understanding.
【C14】
选项
A、superficial
B、artificial
C、substantial
D、beneficial
答案
C
解析
空格处所需词语为系动词look的表语,用于描述目的状语中results的性质。从前面所述,实际的实验结果不能让人满意以至于有人想要distort the experiment’s design来得到好的实验结果,故填入的形容词应具有积极的意义。C项substantial“很有分量的,有价值的”为正确答案。A项superficial“肤浅的”和B项artificial“虚假的”带有消极意义。D项beneficial“有利的”,常与经济、权益等相关,从上下文推断不出此意义。
