问题 Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.
Write the correct letter in boxes 33-37 on your answer sheet. [br] Medawar says "there is no such thing as The Scientific Method" because
选项 A、discoveries are made by people with determined mind.
B、discoveries tend to happen unplanned.
C、the process of discovery is unpleasant.
D、serendipity is not a skill.
答案 B
解析 利用细节信息“Medawar”和他的那句话很容易定位到原文段落D。如果稍微往前多看一两句话的话，很容易看出作者在这里使用了诸多例子来说明科学中偶然的重要性(Many scientists，including the Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon and,later,the Britishimmunologist Peter Medawar,liked to emphasise how much of scientific discovery wasunplanned and even accidental)，然后又提到了Hans Christianrsted的例子。正是在这些的基础上，作者写到“Indeed,as Medawar insisted,‘There is no such thing as The Scientific Method,’no way at all of systematising the process of discovery”。这里作者用到的“insisted”这个单词也说明了Medawar在这里要表达的意思和前面是一致的。选项A的“discoveries are made by people with determined mind(科学发现和决心的关系)”在原文这里明显没有提及，所以排除。选项B的“discoveries tend to happen unplanned”完全对应原文意思。选项C的“the process of discovery is unpleasant”所表达的“科学发现过程的不愉快”在原文中也没有被提及，应该排除。选项D的“serendipity is nota skill”是一个高难度的干扰选项，因为段落D开头提及“Some people just seemed tohave a knack for that sort of thing，and serendipity was used to express that special capacity”，最后也有提到“serendipity described the situation rather than a personal skill or capacity”，但是根据前面的分析，Medawar讲这句话的目的与“serendipity”是否是一个“skill”完全不相关，所以必须排除。综上所述，正确答案为B。
