　　句子解析：

　　第一句：

　　News of the laboratory fraud allegations comes(主干)at a time of growing fears among consumer and environmentalists(定语) that corporate-driven “science” is doing much to protect corporate profits but little to protect public health and safety(fear的同位语从句).

　　参考译文：实验室被指控欺诈的消息传来之际，消费者和环保人士正越来越担心，企业驱动的"科学"大力维护企业利益，但在保护公众健康和安全方面却无所作为。

　　第二句：

　　When corporations pay for the research(状语从句), invariably the findings seem to support the safety(主干) of whatever products(定语) the corporations are trying to sell.(省略了that的定语从句)

　　参考译文：当企业为研究付费时，研究结果似乎总是支持企业试图销售的任何产品的安全性。

　　思考题解析：

　　A. produce unreliable results(产生不可靠的结果)

　　文中说企业赞助的科研常常产生有利于企业的结果，换句话说，结果的可靠性存疑，即不可靠。A选项正确。

　　B. protect interests of society(保护社会的利益)

　　这和第一句说法的矛盾的，企业支持的研究维护的是企业的利益，企业的利益是不是社会利益我们不得而知。B选项错误。

　　C. get published much harder(更难被发表)

　　文中没有提发表文章的事。发文章的难易程度和第一作者的咖位及期刊的评级关系更大一些，当然企业支持的通常不缺APC(文章处理费)。C选项错误。

　　D. have limited access to data(数据访问更有限)

　　获取数据的能力和企业是否支持并不直接相关。这个还是和研究团队的资源更相关。D选项错误。
