32. The critics think that the new awards will most benefit ___.
A. the profit-oriented scientists
B. the founders of the new awards
C. the achievement-based system
D. peer-review-led research
题目解答
答案
B. the founders of the new awards
解析
本题考查对原文中批评者观点的理解,核心在于识别新奖项可能带来的潜在负面影响。解题关键点在于抓住“self-serving exercise”这一关键词,即批评者认为新奖项可能被设立者利用来提升自身利益,而非真正促进科学或研究。需结合选项与原文逻辑对应,排除干扰项。
选项分析
A. the profit-oriented scientists
- 原文中未提及科学家因新奖项直接获利,且批评者更关注奖项设立者的动机,而非科学家群体。
B. the founders of the new awards
- 核心选项。原文指出新奖项可能成为“self-serving exercise”,即设立者利用奖项提升自身声望或利益,与本选项直接对应。
C. the achievement-based system
- 批评者认为新奖项可能破坏现有成就体系(如削弱同行评审),而非促进该体系。因此与原文逻辑矛盾。
D. peer-review-led research
- 原文中明确提到新奖项可能“weaken the peer-review system”,说明批评者认为同行评审会受损,而非受益。
