每天一句：2014考研英语第九十八句6.11

王慧

做个题吧：

In talking to some scientists, particularly younger ones, you might gather the impression that they find the "scientific method" a substitute for imaginative thought. I've attended research conferences where a scientist has been asked what he thinks about the advisability of continuing a certain experiment. The scientist has frowned, looked at the graphs, and said "the data are still inconclusive." "We know that," the men from the budget office have said, "but what do you think? Is it worthwhile going on? What do you think we might expect?" The scientist has been shocked at having even been asked to speculate.

68. The author asserts that scientists ________.
　　[A] shouldn't replace "scientific method" with imaginative thought
　　[B] shouldn't neglect to speculate on unpredictable things
　　[C] should write more concise reports for technical journals
[D] should be confident about their research findings




今天再给同学们贴出一个和观点相关的细节题，注意体会作者所要表达的真实含义：
In talking to some scientists, particularly younger ones, you might gather the impression that they find the "scientific method" a substitute for imaginative thought. I've attended research conferences where a scientist has been asked what he thinks about the advisability of continuing a certain experiment. The scientist has frowned, looked at the graphs, and said "the data are still inconclusive." "We know that," the men from the budget office have said, "but what do you think? Is it worthwhile going on? What do you think we might expect?" The scientist has been shocked at having even been asked to speculate.
　在和一些科学家，特别是年轻科学家交谈时，你可能会有这样一种印象：他们认为“科学方法”可以代替创造性思维。我出席过一些科研会议，会上有人问一位科学家继续某项实验是否是明智之举。那位科学家皱了皱眉，又看了看图表，然后说：“数据还是不够充分。”预算部门的人说：“这点我们知道，但你的意见如何？你觉得值得做下去吗？你觉得我们可以期待什么呢？”这位科学家感到很震惊，他没有料到人们会让他做出预测。
68. The author asserts that scientists ________.
[A] shouldn't replace "scientific method" with imaginative thought
不应该用想像思维代替“科学方法”。
解析：Replace A with B ; 用B 代替A；原文中：find A a substitute for B; 用A代替B；
      所以表述错误；
[B] shouldn't neglect to speculate on unpredictable things
解析：  不应该忽视对不可预测现象的推测。
        原文刚才讲到了用科学的方法代替了想象，作者也表示了反对，所以作者就是认为不应该忽视对不可预测的现象的推测。
[C] should write more concise reports for technical journals
解析：应该为科学杂志撰写更简明的报告。
      文中讨论的是预测性的问题，而不是简明不简明的问题；
[D] should be confident about their research findings
解析：应该对自己的研究发现有信心。
      文中讨论的是科学方法的问题：该大胆的猜测还是只用科学的方法；
      特别说明：这和科学家的自信无关，科学家不是由于不自信而不推测的；而是由于所采取的方法造成不推测的。
