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.
【C4】
选项
A、towards
B、by
C、among
D、beyond
答案
D
解析
从本句的后半部分的介词overwhelmingly“势不可挡地”可以看出科学对世界的改变相当巨大,超出了人们的预想,变得“我们可能都不认识了”。故选D项beyond“超出”,beyond recognition表示超出了人们的认识。A项towards“朝……”其后通常接入或方向。B项by“通过”,表示现代科技已经通过认识改变了世界,语义逻辑不对。C项among“在……中”代入后句子不通。
