6、n alternative answer to the question “Why trust science?” is that scientists use the socalled scientific methoDIf youve got a high school science textbook lying around,youll probably find that answer in it.But what is typically thought to be the scientific methoddevelop a hypothesis(假设),then design
7、an experiment to test itisnt what scientists actually do.Science is dynamic: new methods get invented;old ones get abandoned;and sometimes,scientists can be found doing many different things.If there is no identifiable scientific method,then what is the reason for trust in science? The answer is how

10、ot hundreds,of heads.In areas that have been contested,like climate science and vaccine safety,its thousands.This is why we are generally justified in not worrying too much if a single scientist,even a very famous one,disagrees with the claim.And this is why diversity in sciencethe more people looki
11、ng at a claim from different anglesis important.Does this process ever go wrong? Of course.Scientists are humans.There is always the possibility of revising a claim on the basis of new evidence.Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are “always changing their minds”Whi
12、le examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer,they do exist.But the beauty of this scientific process is that it explains what might otherwise appear paradoxical(自相矛盾的):that science produces both novelty and stability.Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence
13、,but this is a strength of science,not a weakness.文章大意:尽管在过去的几十年有人质疑科学,但科学以其动态的研究方法、严格的审查制度、集体的智慧论断和与时俱进的态度值得人们信任。1How does the author think of the scientific method?AStable.

16、too much if a single scientist,even a very famous one,disagrees with the claim.”可推知,单个知名科学家在科学论断的审查过程中并不能发挥决定性的作用,故选C。4Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?APut Your Faith in ScienceBDefend the Truth in ScienceCApply Your Mind to ScienceDExplore a Dynamic Way to Science解析:A
17、考查标题判断。作者在第一段以过去几十年人们对科学的怀疑引出话题,随即表明了论点“scientists have been right about most things”,接着第二至五段提出论据支撑了这一论点,以此来呼吁人们要信任科学,所以A选项最适合作文章标题。B语篇类型记叙文主题语境人与自我个人经历图书馆的价值(2021开封市高三模拟) I grew up in libraries,or at least it feels that way.I went there several times a week with my mother when I was young.Those vis
