[求助]OG-43,搜索过了,但没解决我的疑惑 - ChaseDream

With the emergence of biotechnology companies,it was feared that they would impose silence about proprietary results on their in-house researchers and their academic consultants. This constraint, in turn, would slow the development of biological science and engineering.

Which of the following, if true, would tend to weaken most seriously the prediction of scientific secrecy described above?

(A) Biotechnological research funded by industry has reached some conclusions that are of major scientfic importance.

(B)When the results of scientific research are kept secret, independent researchers are unable to build on those results.

(C)Since the research priorities of biotechnology companies are not the same as those of academic institutions, the financial support of research by such companies distorts the research agenda.

(D)To enhance the companies' standing in the scientific community, the biotechnology compnies encourage employees to publish their results, especially results that are important.

(E)Biotechnology companies devote some of their research resourced to problems that are of fundamental scientific importance and that are not expected to produce immediate practical applications.

但og关于E的解释另我奇怪: choice E, which says that biotechnology companies devote some resources to fundamental problems without immediate practical benefits, is merely consistent with that argument and so does not weaken the prediction.

疑惑: 我觉得EC一样是irrelevant, E怎么会consistent with that argument 呢??和题目中哪一层意思致呢???

E是说这些生物科技公司投入部分资源去进行那些不会马上实现应用经济价值的基础研究，这种研究只是in-house researchers and their academic consultants的一部分罢了（研究主要分为基础性研究和应用性研究），和scientific secrecy，没有关系,仅仅是consistent with that argument

答案是D.没什么疑问

疑惑: 我觉得EC一样是irrelevant, E怎么会consistent with that argument 呢??和题目中哪一层意思致呢???

Regarding Choice E, company publish some unvalued result of research. can't support or weaken the conclution "slow".

Regarding Choice C, the fields of company's research and scientist's research are all under the fields of science, either would affect the development of science.

Regarding Choice A, company invest much money -> get the important result -> publish or not ?

With
the emergence of biotechnology companies,it was feared that they would
impose silence about proprietary results on their in-house researchers
and their academic consultants. This constraint, in turn, would slow
the development of biological science and engineering.

Which of the following, if true, would tend to weaken most seriously the prediction of scientific secrecy described above?

(A) Biotechnological research funded by industry has reached some conclusions that are of major scientfic importance.

(B)When the results of scientific research are kept secret, independent researchers are unable to build on those results.

(C)Since
the research priorities of biotechnology companies are not the same as
those of academic institutions, the financial support of research by
such companies distorts the research agenda.

(D)To enhance the
companies' standing in the scientific community, the biotechnology
compnies encourage employees to publish their results, especially
results that are important.

(E)Biotechnology companies devote
some of their research resourced to problems that are of fundamental
scientific importance and that are not expected to produce immediate
practical applications.

答案是D.没什么疑问

但og关于E的解释另我奇怪:
choice E, which says that biotechnology companies devote some resources
to fundamental problems without immediate practical benefits, is merely consistent with that argument and so does not weaken the prediction.

疑惑: 我觉得EC一样是irrelevant, E怎么会consistent with that argument 呢??和题目中哪一层意思致呢???

A: Company feared to publish the result of research.

B: slow the development of science.

A->B.

Regarding Choice E, company publish some unvalued result of research. can't support or weaken the conclution "slow".

Regarding
Choice C, the fields of company's research and scientist's research are
all under the fields of science, either would affect the development of
science.

Only Choice D, Not A, company encourage their emplyee to publish the result.

Regarding Choice A, company invest much money -> get the important result -> publish or not ?

If yes, like Choice D did, weaken the conclution.

If No, support the conclution.

So A is not a directly answer, incorrect.

LS的解释个人比较同意哈，但是跟ETS的有出入，OG上说A选项是SUPPORT,没说它是WEAKEN，所以就
