问题     But the success of science, both its intellectual excitement and its practical application, depends upon the self-correcting character of science. There must be a way of testing any valid idea. It must be possible to reproduce any valid experiment. The characters or beliefs of scientists are irrelevant; all that matters is whether the evidence supports their contention. Arguments from authority simply do not count; too many authorities have been mistaken too often. I would like to see these very effective scientific modes of thought communicated by the schools and media; and it would certainly be astonishment and delight to see them introduced into politics. Scientists have been known to change their minds completely and publicly when presented with new evidence or new arguments. I cannot recall the last time a politician displayed a similar openness and willingness to change.
According to the passage, ______is most essential to scientists’ work.
选项 A、belief
B、character
C、evidence
D、argument
答案C
解析 这是一道细节题。本文第四句话的后半句“all that matters is whether the ev—idence supports their contention”“重要的是证据是否支持他们(科学家)的论点”已经明确说明了在科学家的工作中，证据才是最关键的，因此选择C。
