绝大多数人是不会把“欺骗”一词和科学联系在一起的。如今科学受到如此尊重,原因之一在于科学家的形象是一个冷静地收集数据、不带任何偏见、寻找真理的人。在辩论中,不管谈的是关于智力、学校教育、偏见,还是能量,通常说一声“科学上是这么说的”,对方就不作声了。

问题 绝大多数人是不会把“欺骗”一词和科学联系在一起的。如今科学受到如此尊重,原因之一在于科学家的形象是一个冷静地收集数据、不带任何偏见、寻找真理的人。在辩论中,不管谈的是关于智力、学校教育、偏见,还是能量,通常说一声“科学上是这么说的”,对方就不作声了。
    但是,很久以来,科学界一直承认“欺骗因素”的存在,即许多科学家倾向于将数据加工以获取想要得到的结果。在当今科学界的几乎每一个有争议的领域,种族与智力的论战,核能的辩论等等,都可以见到这种倾向。
    因此,我们既要倾听“科学”对事物的看法,又不能毫不怀疑地接受。

选项

答案"Fraud" is not a word that most people associate with science. One reason why science is so respected these days is that the image of the scientist is of one who dispassionately collects data in an impartial search for truth. In any debate--over intelligence, schooling, bias, energy-- the phrase "science says" usually crushes the opposition. But science has long acknowledged the existence of a "fraud factor"--the tendency of many scientists to give a helpful touch to the data to produce desired results. The same tendency is observable in almost every controversial area--the fight over race and intelligence, the argument about nuclear energy, and so on. Therefore, we should listen to what science has to say and give our credence with skepticism.
