18. Modern science is built on the process of posing hypotheses and testing them against observations—in essence, attempting to show that the hypotheses are incorrect. Nothing brings more recognition than overthrowing conventional wisdom. It is accordingly unsurprising that some scientists are skeptical of the widely accepted predictions of global warming. What is instead remarkable is that with hundreds of researchers striving to make breakthroughs in climatology, very few find evidence that global warming is unlikely. The information above provides the most support for which one of the following statements?
(A) Most scientists who are reluctant to accept the global warming hypothesis are not acting in accordance with the accepted standards of scientific debate.
(B) Most researchers in climatology have substantial motive to find evidence that would discredit the global warming hypothesis.
(C) There is evidence that conclusively shows that the global warming hypothesis is true.
(D) Scientists who are skeptical about global warming have not offered any alternative hypotheses to explain climatological data.
(E) Research in global warming is primarily driven by a desire for recognition in the scientific community.
我看到例子说it is unsurprising that some scientists are skeptical of global warming就直接排出B了，然后又读到很多人try to 证明global warming是错的但是都无果，他们very few find 反证，所以选的C。再看看我也觉得C的conclusively shows太绝对了。
总结一下 第一句话说：现代科学是建立在假设，然后找反证的基础上的。（也就是说所有的现代科学都是这么个研究方法） 所以，B的most researchers in climatology之所以对，是因为对于所有学科，学者们都一样。。。有motivation找反证。是这样理解的吗？
