The US$3-million Fundamental physics prize is indeed an interesting experiment,as Alexander Polyakov said when he accepted this year’s award in March.And it is far from the only one of its type.As a News Feature article in Nature discusses,a string of lucrative awards for researchers have joined the Nobel Prizes in recent years.Many,like the Fundamental Physics Prize,are funded from the telephone-number-sized bank accounts of Internet entrepreneurs.These benefactors have succeeded in their chosen fields,they say,and they want to use their wealth to draw attention to those who have succeeded in science.What’s not to like?Quite a lot,according to a handful of scientists quoted in the News Feature.You cannot buy class,as the old saying goes,and these upstart entrepreneurs cannot buy their prizes the prestige of the Nobels,The new awards are an exercise in self-promotion for those behind them,say scientists.They could distort the achievement-based system of peer-review-led research.They could cement the status quo of peer-reviewed research.They do not fund peer-reviewed research.They perpetuate the myth of the lone genius.The goals of the prize-givers seem as scattered as the criticism.Some want to shock,others to draw people into science,or to better reward those who have made their careers in research.As Nature has pointed out before,there are some legitimate concerns about how science prizes—both new and old—are distributed.The Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences,launched this year,takes an unrepresentative view of what the life sciences include.But the Nobel Foundation’s limit of three recipients per prize,each of whom must still be living,has long been outgrown by the collaborative nature of modern research—as will be demonstrated by the inevitable row over who is ignored when it comes to acknowledging the discovery of the Higgs boson.The Nobels were,of course,themselves set up by a very rich individual who had decided what he wanted to do with his own money.Time,rather than intention,has given them legitimacy.As much as some scientists may complain about the new awards,two things seem clear.First,most researchers would accept such a prize if they were offered one.Second,it is surely a good thing that the money and attention come to science rather than go elsewhere,It is fair to criticize and question the mechanism—that is the culture of research,after all—but it is the prize-givers’money to do with as they please.It is wise to take such gifts with gratitude and grace.The author believes that the now awards areA.acceptable despite the criticism.B.harmful to the culture of research.C.subject to undesirable changes.D.unworthy of public attention.
选项
A.acceptable despite the criticism.
B.harmful to the culture of research.
C.subject to undesirable changes.
D.unworthy of public attention.
答案
B
解析
观点态度这道题问的是作者的观点态度,从整个文章结构来看,不难发现作者在最后一段明确了自己的观点态度,因此我们快速定位到文章最后一段。本文最后一段出现了大量表示感情色彩的词,some scientists may complain about;most researchers would accept;it is surely a good thing;It is fair to criticize and question the mechanism;It is wise to take such gifts with gratitude and grace.从以上这些词句,尤其是最后一句“怀着感恩之心接受这份馈赠才是明智之举”,可以明显看出作者是支持的态度,所以选项B为正确答案。而选项A“对文化研究不利”、C“遭受不好的改变”、D“不值得公众关注”均是消极负面的态度,故排除。
