In many scientific disciplines, scientists generally do not do highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a tendency that has normally been taken to show that aging carries with it a loss of creative capacity. However, by the age of forty most scientists have been working in their chosen field for at least fifteen years, so an alternative explanation is that spending too long in a single field reduces the opportunity for creative thought.

Investigating which of the following would be most useful in choosing between the competing explanations described above?

正确答案: A

In many scientific disciplines, scientists generally do not do highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a tendency that has normally been taken to show that aging carries with it a loss of creative capacity.However, by the age of forty most scientists have been working in their chosen field for at least fifteen years, so an alternative explanation is that spending too long in a single field reduces the opportunity for creative thought.



Investigating which of the following would be most useful in choosing between the competing explanations described above?



A. Whether among those scientists who do highly creative work beyond age forty a large proportion entered their field at a considerably later age than is common

B. Whether scientists' choice of research projects tends to be influenced by their own belief that their most creative work will be done relatively early in their career

C. Whether scientists who are older than forty tend to find more satisfaction in other activities, such as teaching and mentoring, than they do in pursuing their own research

D. Whether funding agencies are more inclined to award research grants to scientists who are veterans in their field than to scientists who are relative newcomers

E. Whether there is significant variation among scientific fields in the average age at which scientists working in those fields are at their most productive





选A。
我的理解是,在这些40岁以上做创造性工作的科学家里面 是否大部分在年龄很大而不是在common年龄的时候进入他们的领域?
如果是,则说明第二个是正确的,有很多的人年龄很大的时候进入这个领域,并研究,否定了40岁以上丧失创造力。
如果不是,则说明什么?没想明白。。主要还是A选项的句子意思没搞懂。。

喔 我明白了,如果不是,说明了第二个是错误的,因为大部分是正常年龄进入领域的,所以都工作了15年以上,并且还在研究,对吧?
自己把自己绕进去半个小时!

我也搞了半个小时才弄明白。
其实是这样的。
结论是创新下降。
两个原因:1)太老
                2)在一个行业呆太久
然而A说很多超过40岁还在做创新工作的人进入行业的时间是不是比一般人晚?
回答yes,即很多超过40岁还在做创新工作的人进入行业的时间比一般人晚,1)对,2)错
回答no,即很多超过40岁还在做创新工作的人进入行业的时间比一般人早,1)错,2)对

个人理解,附上Ron神的解析

                 这里我觉的 yes 的话 1)错   2)错
                 但是矛盾的一点是  题目问most useful in choosing between the competing explanations described above?
我所理解的是 正确选项分俩条路  一个 说明1) 一个说明2)  但是 这题正确选项A 似乎是 在已经 给定1) 错的 情况下  分出两条路  一条是 2) 正确 另一条是 2)错误
细想的话 和题目有一丢丢小矛盾。 不知道是我错了  还是 就是如此 我多虑了而已。
