It requires a willingness to ask new questions and try new approaches. It requires one to take risks and experience failures. But good science also requires【C2】______understanding, clear explanation and concise presentation.

A)arena I)incorporate
B)contextual J)indefinite
C)convincing K)indulge
D)devoted L)inertia
E)digits M)pride
F)hasten N)reaping
G)hypotheses O)warrant
H)impairing [br] 【C10】
选项
答案 F
解析 空格位于目的状语to do something的结构之中，据此判断应填入动词原形。根据句意“为了——科学从实验台走向市场”可知，答案为F)hasten“加速”。在备选项中，indulge意为“放纵，使沉溺于”，不符合文意且为贬义词，故排除。
