问题     But the success of science, both its intellectual excitement and its practical application, depends upon the self - correcting character of science. There must be a way of testing any valid idea. It must be possible to reproduce any valid experiment. The character or beliefs of scientists are irrelevant; all that matters is whether the evidence supports their contention. Arguments from authority simply do not count; too many authorities have been mistaken too often. I would like to see these very effective scientific modes of thought communicated by the schools and media; and it would certainly be astonishment and delight to see them introduced into politics. Scientists have been known to change their minds completely and publicly when presented with new evidence or new arguments. I cannot recall the last time a politician displayed a similar openness and willingness to change.
The preceding passage most probably discusses________.
选项 A、the achievements of science
B、some valid experiments
C、effective scientific modes of thought
D、self - correcting character of science
答案A
解析 这是一道考察推理的题型，要求考生推断出文章所暗示的意思或推测文章前后文的内容。题干为“之前的一段文章最有可能讨论……”。文章的首句提到“But the success of science，both its intellectual excitement and its practical application，depends upon the self—correcting character of science．”意思是科学的成功在于其自我更正的特性。整篇文章所讲述的是科学自我更正的特性，没有提到科学的成功。因此可推断出，之前的篇章最可能是在阐述科学所取得的成就，所以选项A最符合题意。
