Inmany scientific disciplines, scientists generally do not do highly creative
work beyond the age of forty, a tendency that has normally been taken to show
that aging carries with it a loss of creative capacity. However, by the age of forty most scientists
have been working in their chosen field for at least fifteen years, so an
alternative explanation is that spending too long in a single field reduces the
opportunity for creative thought.
Investigating
which of the following would be most useful in choosing between the competing
explanations described above?
A.Whether among those scientists who do highly creative work beyond age forty a
large proportion entered their field at a considerably later age than is common
B.Whether scientists' choice of research projects tends to be influenced by their
own belief that their most creative work will be done relatively early in their
career
C.Whether scientists who are older than forty tend to find more satisfaction in
other activities, such as teaching and mentoring, than they do in pursuing
their own research
D.Whether funding agencies are more inclined to award research grants to
scientists who are veterans in their field than to scientists who are relative
newcomers
E.Whether there is significant variation among scientific fields in the average
age at which scientists working in those fields are at their most productive作者: msufcufou 时间: 2010-12-21 19:50
OG上题目的变体，上面那个同学选得应该没错
碰到这种二者选一（比如该题 是进入时间长 还是 年龄大）的题目，把其中一个条件设相同（不动），另一个条件设不同（动）， 看到底是那个原因在起作用：比如说A，回答是 那么创造力就是和进入时间长短相关的；回答不是，那么就不能说进入时间长短起明显作用，因为文章只有两种解释，所以就只能支持年龄大的解释
A.Whether among those scientists who do highly creative work beyond age forty a
large proportion entered their field at a considerably later age than is common
