In many 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



A

这道题怎么理解呢?问的是削弱啊?还是加强啊?还是support呢?

评价题。其实也就是加强。

选A。

A 说明 换了领域,科学家反而很能创新,说明不是 age 造成的创造力下降,而是太久了机会已经没了。

很好的评价/加强了文中的观点。

不要用XDF 的东西去思考。。

A没有说换领域的问题啊!这题我也不清楚,希望有人能讲讲

这道是典型的现象解释文,评价题。
现象:40岁之后,科学家不再从事强调创造力的工作。
解释1:岁数大了,失去了创造能力
解释2:在一个领域做的时间久了,失去了创造能力。
A选项:是否仍从事强调创造力工作的,岁数超过40的人,进入行业的时间较晚。这就是否定了解释1,肯定了解释2.
因为有2种解释,想要判断哪种更加正确,就必须控制变量:否定其一,肯定另一个
