After a three-year survey of the social and behavioral sciences, a committee of the NRC has concluded that these sciences are losing out in the race for federal science funds. Between 1972 and 1978, federal support for the social and behavioral sciences fell 25 percent, while support for other areas of science rose 36 percent.
"Psychological, social and cultural studies pertaining to virtually everything that people treat as a problem in our civilization," the committee writes, "play a large role." Paradoxically (矛盾的是), one would think these would be times when social science research would be riding high. Yet even though governments are more than alarmed about a variety of social problems they are inclined to deal with them by trial and (often) error. The abuse of drugs is a widespread concern, but governments seem to with the qualifications of teachers and their salaries.
If we lack an adequate understanding of drug abuse and educational processes, are we flying blind attempting to deal with these behaviours? What domains of your life could benefit from social and behavioral science research? For in- stance, are we concerned about crime? Consider that recent sociological research reveals that nearly half of all urban- dwelling American males can expect to be arrested for some non traffic offense during their lives. However, a very small group of" career predators" are responsible for a grossly disproportionate share of all crimes committed. What does this insight suggest to you about American criminal Justice and prison policies. Sociological work also shows that most criminals halt their careers by age 25 to 30. Does this finding have policy implication? If a 29-year-old burglar whose criminal career is nearly over is imprisoned for ten years, may many years of that imprisonment be "wasted" on expensive and unnecessary confinement?
In the second paragraph, the author gives two examples of social problems to show that______.
选项

B、the government does not try hard to solve such problems

C
解析
第二段主要分析了政府对社会科学与行为科学研究不够支持的原因。第一句引用调查委员会的结论,说明了社会科学与行为科学研究的重要作用。基于此,有些人错误地认为这方面的研究目前进展顺利(riding high),颇受重视(第二句)。第三句阐明了该段旨在说明的问题:政府只是采用就事论事的方式(by trial and error)来解决社会问题,结果忽视了产生问题的原因,不能对症下药,甚至往往驴唇马嘴,两不相合,导向错误。第四、五句分别举了两个例子来说明这一点:没有社会科学和行为科学的指导,社会问题的解决经常会流于
