问题     It’s hard to believe that Dr. Judah Folkman, the pioneering cancer researcher who succumbed to a heart attack on Monday at the age of 74, couldn’t ward off death. The man whose mind pulsed with questions, ideas and the arcane details of human biology had survived the most brutal of battles long ago: scientific skepticism. When he first proposed his radical theory of angiogenesis in the 1970s—that cancer tumors grow by recruiting blood vessels for nourishment—he was derided by fellow scientists.
    Folkman remembered hearing researchers "laughing in the corner" or excusing themselves to go to the bathroom when he got up to speak at scientific meetings. Decades later, in May 1998, a hyperbolic James Watson told the New York Times, "Judah is going to cure cancer in two years. " Not so. But angiogenesis spawned an entire field of research, led to more than 10 new cancer drugs now on the market (with dozens more in clinical trials), and inspired young researchers to investigate bold new avenues in cancer research.
    Moses Judah Folkman didn’t seek the limelight. The son of a rabbi, he spent a lifetime trying to answer the prayers of his patients. He was a healer, a visionary, a compassionate man with a probing intellect and a grandfatherly spirit. During my first interview with him in the midst of the 1998 media glare, Folkman offered me cookies, spent hours poring over the science,then walked me out the front door of Children’s Hospital in Boston in his white lab coat to be sure I’d get home safely in a cab.
    This as some 2,000 newspapers and television crews around the world desperately tried to get his attention. Folkman wasn’t interested in being a celebrity—he refused to be photographed alone for our cover story that week because he didn’t want to be singled out for research he insisted was collaborative. He was interested in saving his patients’ lives. And it was their lives, not just their medical histories, that mattered. During our interview he shared photographs of each of them as if he were showing family albums; he told me about their hobbies and their dreams. His followers—many of whom call him their hero—believe Folkman should have been awarded the Nobel Prize. Folkman believed he just had to keep asking questions. "You have to think ahead," he once told me. "Science goes where you imagine it."
It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that_______.
选项 A、more than 10 new cancer drugs were tried in clinics
B、what James Watson said to New York Times is not true
C、other researchers didn’t think highly of Folkman’s research
D、young researchers can’t conduct cancer research independently
答案C
解析 推断题。第二段首句提到弗可曼在科研会上做报告时，他的同行们以去洗手间为由而借故走开，或聚在一起嘲笑他。由此可推断[C]“弗可曼的研究并未引起同行们的足够重视”为答案。第二句提到詹姆斯.沃尔逊在《纽约时报》中虽然夸张但却实事求是地预言乔登将在2年内攻克癌症，故排除[B]；第三句提到弗可曼在血管增生领域进行了广泛的研究，仅在市场上出售的抗癌药物就有10多种，同时还有几十种在进行临床试验，故排除[A]；本句还提到弗可曼激励年轻研究者们在癌症研究领域大胆采用新方法，故排除[D]。
