问题     It is important that scientists be seen as normal people asking and answering important questions. Good, sound science depends on【C1】______, experiments and reasoned methodologies. 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.
    Our country needs more scientists who are willing to step out in the public【C3】______and offer their opinions on important matters. We need more scientists who can explain what they are doing in language that is【C4】______and understandable to the public. Those of us who are not scientists should also be prepared to support public engagement by scientists, and to【C5】______scientific knowledge into our public communications.
    Too many people in this country, including some among our elected leadership, still do not understand how science works or why robust, long-range investments in research vitally matter. In the 1960s, the United States【C6】______nearly 17% of discretionary(可酌情支配的)spending to research and development,【C7】______decades of economic growth.

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] 【C3】
选项
答案 A
解析 空格位于形容词之后，据此判断可填入名词，并与public连用构成固定搭配。故推测句意为“我们的国家需要更多科学家登上公共舞台”。因此填入A)arena“舞台，竞技场”。在备选项中，digits意为“数字”，inertia意为“惯性，惰性”，warrant意为“授权，授权令”，均不符合文意，且不能与public搭配，故排除。
