问题     It is important that scientists be seen as normal people asking and answering important questions. Good, sound science depends on【C1】______, experiments and reasoned methodologies. It requires a willingness to ask new questions and try new approaches. It requires one to take risks and experience failures. But good science also requires【C2】______understanding, clear explanation and concise presentation.
    Our country needs more scientists who are willing to step out in the public【C3】______and offer their opinions on important matters. We need more scientists who can explain what they are doing in language that is【C4】______and understandable to the public. Those of us who are not scientists should also be prepared to support public engagement by scientists, and to【C5】______scientific knowledge into our public communications.
    Too many people in this country, including some among our elected leadership, still do not understand how science works or why robust, long-range investments in research vitally matter. In the 1960s, the United States【C6】______nearly 17% of discretionary(可酌情支配的)spending to research and development,【C7】______decades of economic growth. By 2008, the figure had fallen into the single【C8】______. This occurs at a time when other nations have made significant gains in their own research capabilities.

A)arena I)incorporate
B)contextual J)indefinite
C)convincing K)indulge
D)devoted L)inertia
E)digits M)pride
F)hasten N)reaping
G)hypotheses O)warrant
H)impairing [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 B
解析 空格位于名词understanding之前，据此判断应填入形容词，此处形容词作定语修饰名词。根据句意“良好的科学研究还要求有——理解，清楚的解释和简洁的展示”可知，B)contextual“上下文的，情境的，前后关联的”符合此处逻辑，为正确答案。在备选项中，convincing意为“有说服力的，使人信服的”，indefinite意为“不确定的”，均与文意不符，故排除。
