问题 Text 3 If you're tired of swiping left and right to approve or reject the faces of other people,try something else:rating scientific papers.A web application inspired by the dating app Tinder lets you make snap judgments about preprints-papers published online before peer review-simply by swiping left,right,up,or down.Papr brands itself as"Tinder for preprints"and is almost as superficial as the matchmaker.For now,you only get to see abstracts,not the full papers,and you have to rate them in one of four categories:"exciting and probable,""exciting and questionable,""boring and probable,"or"boring and questionable."Papr co-creator Jeff Leek,a biostatistician at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health,released an earlier version of Papr late last year but only started publicizing the app on social media earlier this month after his colleagues added a few more features,including a recommendation engine that suggests studies based on your preferences,an option to download your ratings along with links to the full preprints on bioRxiv,and suggestions for Twitter users with similar tastes as yours.What we want is to help researchers navigate the overwhelming number ofnew papers and uncover interdisciplinary overlap,Leek says.Scientists already use social media to discover new papers,he says;Papr aims to simplify that process and capture people's evaluations along the way.Four rating categories is enough,Leek says;other services,including PubPeer,offer space for longer comments and discussions.To prevent readers from giving their rivals'papers bad ratings or rate a paper as interesting just because it was written by a famous scientist,Papr doesn't show author names and doesn't let you search for a specific preprint or author."For me,the importance of Papr is illustrating that preprint services like bioRxiv enable novel methods of evaluation to emerge,"says Brian Nosek,executive director of the Center for Open Science in Charlottesville,Virginia."We don't believe that the data we are collecting is any kind of realistic peer review,but it does tell us something about the types of papers people find interesting and what leads them to be suspicious,"Leek says."Ultimately we hope to correlate this data with information about where the papers are published and other more in-depth measurements of paper quality."But don't take Papr too seriously,because its developers don't."This app is provided solely for entertainment of the scient讯c community and may be taken down at any time with no notice because Jeff gets tired ofit,"the Papr website says.35.The author implies in the last paragraph that PaprA.deserves serious consideration.B.is to be further developed by scientific community.C.will be renewed without notice.D.is still a immature software

选项 A.deserves serious consideration.
B.is to be further developed by scientific community.
C.will be renewed without notice.
D.is still a immature software

答案 D

解析推理判断题。文章最后一段提到“不过，也别把Papr软件太当一回事，它的开发者都没有特别认真。Papr的网站上写道：“该软件仅供科学界娱乐之用，可能随时会未经公告而停止使用，因为杰夫本人对此感到厌倦”。可判断Papr不是一款应用广泛的成熟软件，否则不会连其开发人杰夫也感到厌倦。故选D项。【干扰排除】A项，文中说别太把它当回事，而不是值得严肃对待，故排除；B项文中并未提及，无法推…，故排除；c项，文中说的是may be taken down at any time，说明它会随时停止使用，而不是随时更新，故排除。
