问题     It is a movement building steady momentum; a call to make research data, software code and experimental methods publicly available and transparent. A spirit of openness is gaining traction in the science community, and is the only way, say advocates, to address a "crisis" in science whereby too few findings are successfully reproduced. Furthermore, they say, it is the best way for researchers to gather the range of observations that are necessary to speed up discoveries or to identify large-scale trends.
    The open-data shift poses a conundrum for junior researchers, who are carving out their niche. On the one hand, the drive to share is gathering official steam. Since 2013, global scientific bodies—including the European Commission, the U. S. Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Global Research Council—have begun to back policies that support increased public access to research.
    On the other hand, scientists disagree about how much and when they should share data, and they debate whether sharing it is more likely to accelerate science and make it more robust, or to introduce vulnerabilities and problems.
    As more journals and funders adopt data-sharing requirements, and as agrowing number of enthusiasts call for more openness, junior researchers must find their place between adopters and those who continue to hold out, even as they strive to launch their own careers.
    One key challenge facing young scientists is how to be open without becoming scientifically vulnerable. They must determine the risk of jeopardizing a job offer or a collaboration proposal from those who are wary of—or unfamiliar with—open science. And they must learn how to capitalize on the movement’s benefits, such as opportunities for more citations and a way to build a reputation without the need for conventional metrics, such as publication in high-impact journals.
    And although there is a time cost associated with uploading and organizing raw data, subsequent queries can often be averted by adding reader-friendly instructions at the start. Hogg recommends that researchers simultaneously upload tutorials and examples of how to use the content.
    In the end, sharing data, software and materials with colleagues can help an early-career researcher to garner recognition—a crucial component of success. "The thing you are searching for is reputation," says Titus Brown, a genomics researcher at the University of California, Davis. "To get grants and jobs, you have to be relevant and achieve some level of public recognition. Anything you do that advances your presence—especially in a larger sphere, outside the communities you know—is a net win."
The reaction of junior researchers to the trend seems to be
选项 A、doubtful.
B、puzzled.
C、enthusiastic.
D、confident.
答案B
解析 (1)根据题目顺序，本题主要依据原文第2、3、4、5段内容进行判断。(2)根据文章，“数据分享的这种变化给年轻研究者造成了大难题”(第2段：conundrum)。之后，作者从正反两个方面剖析了数据分享的利弊。(3)作者重申了年轻研究者所面临的困境，“必须在顺应和苦守之间抉择”(第4段：adopters，hold out)。根据这些分析，确定选项[B]为最佳答案。
