问题 The science of astronomy was begun by amateurs and today remains dependent on their contributions, which are incisive by virtue of being________by the a priori assumptions that often vitiate the work of professional research scientists.
选项 A、characterized
B、unencumbered
C、supported
D、contradicted
E、inspired
答案B
解析 同义重复题。逻辑连接词是by virtue of，表示“由于”。第一句话完整，说天文学始于并依赖amateurs。逗号后面的which从句修饰their contributions，继续表述其好的方面，by virtue of进一步说明好的原因，是因为被先前的假设________，而这种假设vitiate(损害)专业工作。注意句子中的priori assumptions的意思是made before or without examination；not supported by factual study，即“未经检验的先验假设”，这种假设会影响专业工作，显然这种假设不好，所以如果要表达amateurs的好，空格需要表示“没有被这种假设影响”的含义，A、C、E都是正向词，显然不对，D也不符合句意，B项unencumbered(未受阻碍的)正确。
