问题 Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.
Write the correct letter in boxes 33-37 on your answer sheet.
The writer mentions Irving Langmuir to illustrate
选项 A、planned science should be avoided.
B、industrial development needs uncertainty.
C、people tend to misunderstand the relationship between cause and effect.
D、accepting uncertainty can help produce positive results.
答案D
解析 利用细节信息“Irving Langmuir”很容易定位到原文段落F的第三句话“As Mertonand Barber note，two of the great early一20th-century American pioneers of industrialresearch—Willis Whitney and Irving Langmuir,both of General Electric—made muchplay of serendipity,in the course of arguing against overly rigid research planning"，这里作者明显提及Irving Langmuir“made much play of serendipity”，而且还反对“rigidresearch planning”。其后Langmuir又提到“a mature acceptance of uncertainty wasfar more likely to result in productive research policies”。其实，作者还是想用IrvingLangmuir的例子来说明serendipity的重要性。选项A的“planned science should beavoided”容易被误选。原文虽然提及“rigid research planning”不好，而且“miscon—ceptions about the certainty and rationality of the research process did much harm”，但是并没有说planning应该被避免。况且“then planning does not get us very far”也是建立在“If there is no very determinate relationship between cause and effect in research”的条件之上。再者，作者在这里提及Langmuir是为了说明“serendipity”和“matureacceptance of uncertainty”的重要性，所以选项A可以排除。选项B的“industrialdevelopment needs uncertainty”虽然肯定了“uncertainty”，与原文内容有所呼应，但是原文中并未讲到工业发展的任何内容，所以排除。选项C的“people tend to misunderstand the relationship between cause and effect”中的“the relationship between causeand effect”在原文中虽有提及，但是并未讲人们误解因果关系的内容，所以也应该排除。综上所述，正确答案为D。
