问题     It is important that scientists be seen as normal people asking and answering important questions. Good, sound science depends on【C1】______, experiments and reasoned methodologies. It requires a willingness to ask new questions and try new approaches. It requires one to take risks and experience failures. But good science also requires【C2】______understanding, clear explanation and concise presentation.
    Our country needs more scientists who are willing to step out in the public【C3】______and offer their opinions on important matters. We need more scientists who can explain what they are doing in language that is【C4】______and understandable to the public. Those of us who are not scientists should also be prepared to support public engagement by scientists, and to【C5】______scientific knowledge into our public communications.
    Too many people in this country, including some among our elected leadership, still do not understand how science works or why robust, long-range investments in research vitally matter. In the 1960s, the United States【C6】______nearly 17% of discretionary(可酌情支配的)spending to research and development,【C7】______decades of economic growth. By 2008, the figure had fallen into the single【C8】______. This occurs at a time when other nations have made significant gains in their own research capabilities.
    At the University of California(UC), we【C9】______ourselves not only on the quality of our research, but also on its contribution to improving our world. To【C10】______the development of science from the lab bench to the market place, UC is investing our own money in our own good ideas.
A)arena I)incorporate
B)contextual J)indefinite
C)convincing K)indulge
D)devoted L)inertia
E)digits M)pride
F)hasten N)reaping
G)hypotheses O)warrant
H)impairing
【C9】
选项
答案M
解析 空格位于句子的谓语动词处，且此动词应能够与on构成固定搭配，备选项中只有M)pride“以……为豪”，符合语法要求。所在句意为“我们不仅为我们的科研质量自豪，也为我们的科研为改进世界所做出的贡献自豪”。在备选项中，hasten意为“加速”，indulge意为“放纵，使沉溺于”，均与文意不符，故排除。
