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 character 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.
According to the passage, is most essential to scientists’ work________.

选项 A、belief
B、character
C、evidence
D、argument

答案C

解析 这是一道考察细节的题型。文章里的第四句中“……all that matters is whether the evidence supports their contention”,意思是“重要的是证据是否支持他们(科学家)的论点”已明确了一点,即在科学家的工作中,证据是至关重要的,所以正确答案是选项C。
