　　今天的句子：

　　Null results are an essential counterweight to the science community’s focus on positive findings, which can cause conclusions to be accepted too readily. Researchers who report null results can help to steer grant money towards more fruitful studies. Replications are also invaluable for establishing what is necessary for reliable measurements, such as fundamental constants, and wider airing of null results will, eventually, prompt science communities to revise their theories to better accommodate reality.

　　思考题：

　　According to the text, the science community ______.

　　A.pays less attention to application

　　B.accepts good results unconditionally

　　C.has a tradition of airing null results

　　D.tends not to prioritize replication

　　思路解析：

　　1.Null results(你不认识!) are an essential counterweight(根据这两个词知道 Null results 是个好东西) to the science community’s focus(科学关注后面的东西，也就是说科学界不关注Null results ) on positive findings(对，关注这个鬼玩意), which(这种关注) can cause conclusions to be accepted too readily(导致不好的结果). 2.Researchers who report null results can help to steer grant money towards more fruitful studies.(继续说Null results的好处!)

　　3.Replications(你也不认识) are also invaluable(这两个词说明replication 也是个好东西!而且很有可能 Replications 就是和Null results 一样被科学界所忽略的对象。有可能是难兄难弟，有可能是一个概念的不同表达!) for establishing what is necessary for reliable measurements, such as fundamental constants, andwider airing of null results(你也不认识) will, eventually, prompt (这两个词也说明wider airing of null results的好处，但是科学界应该也不重视!)science communities to revise their theories to better accommodate reality.

　　According to the text, the science community ______.

　　A.pays less attention to application

　　不太关注应用，这个说法没有提及!不对!

　　B.accepts good results unconditionally

　　没有说无条件的。排除!

　　C.has a tradition of airing null results

　　没有这个传统!

　　应该是科学界不重视!错!

　　D.tends not to prioritize replication

　　(prioritize这个词不认识，那就是你的问题了!)

　　这个符合我们之前阅读的正反预判!

　　应该是正确答案!

　　句子解析：

　　第一句：

　　Null results are an essential counterweight to the science community's focus on positive findings, which can cause conclusions to be accepted too readily.(先翻译定语从句!)

　　参考译文：科学界对积极发现的关注可能导致结论过于轻易地被接受，零结果(研究)起着重要的平衡作用。

　　第二句：

　　Researchers who report null results(定语) can help to steer grant money towards more fruitful studies.

　　参考译文：报告零结果的研究人员可以帮助将(科研)基金导向更有意义的研究。

　　第三句：

　　Replications are also invaluable for establishing what is necessary for reliable measurements,(状语) such as fundamental constants,(定语) and wider airing(传播) of null results will, eventually, prompt science communities to revise their theories to better accommodate reality.

　　(prompt sb to do sth )

　　参考译文：复制研究对于确立可靠测量所须的条件(例如基本常数)也具有无可估量的作用，广泛传播零结果最终会促使学界修改理论，以更好地适应现实。
