Passage Six
In the idealized version of how science is done, facts about the world are waiting to be observed and collected by objective researchers who use the scientific method to carry out their work. But in the everyday practice of science, discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route. We aim to be objective, but we cannot escape the context of our unique life experience. Prior knowledge and interest influence what we experience, what we think our experiences mean, and the subsequent actions we take. Opportunities for misinterpretation, error, and self‑deception abound.
Consequently, discovery claims should be thought of as protoscience. Similar to newly staked mining claims, they are full of potential. But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to transform a discovery claim into a mature discovery. This is the credibility process, through which the individual researcher’s me, here, now becomes the community’s anyone, anywhere, anytime. Objective knowledge is the goal, not the starting point.
Once a discovery claim becomes public, the discoverer receives intellectual credit. But, unlike with mining claims, the community takes control of what happens next. Within the complex social structure of the scientific community, researchers make discoveries; editors and reviewers act as gatekeepers by controlling the publication process; other scientists use the new finding to suit their own purposes; and finally, the public (including other scientists) receives the new discovery and possibly accompanying technology. As a discovery claim works it through the community, the interaction and confrontation between shared and competing beliefs about the science and the technology involved transforms an individual’s discovery claim into the community’s credible discovery.
Two paradoxes exist throughout this credibility process. First, scientific work tends to focus on some aspect of prevailing knowledge that is viewed as incomplete or incorrect. Little reward accompanies duplication and confirmation of what is already known and believed. The goal is new‑search, not re‑search. Not surprisingly, newly published discovery claims and credible discoveries that appear to be important and convincing will always be open to challenge and potential modification or refutation by future researchers. Second, novelty itself frequently provokes disbelief. Nobel Laureate and physiologist Albert Szent‑Gyorgyi once described discovery as "seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought". But thinking what nobody else has thought and telling others what they have missed may not change their views. Sometimes years are required for truly novel discovery claims to be accepted and appreciated.
In the end, credibility "happens" to a discovery claim—a process that corresponds to what philosopher Annette Baier has described as the commons of the mind. "We reason together, challenge, revise, and complete each other’s reasoning and each other’s conceptions of reason."
26. According to Paragraph 1, the process of discovery is characterized by its ______.
A. uncertainty and complexity
B. misconception and deceptiveness
C. logicality and objectivity
D. systematicness and regularity
27. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that credibility process requires ______.

A. has attracted the attention of the general public
B. has been examined by the scientific community
C. has received recognition from editors and reviewers
D. has been frequently quoted by peer scientists
29. Albert Szent‑Gyorgyi would most likely agree that ______.
A. scientific claims will survive challenges
B. discoveries today inspire future research
C. efforts to make discoveries are justified
D. scientific work calls for a critical mind
30. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Novelty as an Engine of Scientific Development
B. Collective Scrutiny in Scientific Discovery
C. Evolution of Credibility in Doing Science
D. Challenge to Credibility at the Gate to Science
答案速查：26. A 27. B 28. B 29. D 30. C

【题目精析】
26. According to Paragraph 1, the process of discovery is characterized by its ______.
A. uncertainty and complexity
B. misconception and deceptiveness
C. logicality and objectivity
D. systematicness and regularity
【精析】细节理解题。题干问的是“第一段描述的发现过程具有什么特点”。根据关键词“discovery” 定位到第一段第二句，discovery后面即是答案“But…discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route”可知，发现过程具有模糊性和复杂性，A选项符合描述。
27. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that credibility process requires ______.
A. strict inspection
B. shared efforts
C. individual wisdom
D. persistent innovation
【精析】推理判断题。题干问的是“第二段可以推断出可信度过程需要什么”。根据关键词credibility可以定位到this is the credibility process, 前面即是答案。“collective scrutiny and acceptance”“individual…becomes the community’s…”，均在强调集体参与。B选项“共同努力”与原文相符。
28. Paragraph 3 shows that a discovery claim becomes credible after it ______.
A. has attracted the attention of the general public
B. has been examined by the scientific community
C. has received recognition from editors and reviewers
D. has been frequently quoted by peer scientists
【精析】细节理解题。题干问的是“第三段表明，发现声明在经历什么之后会变得有可信度”。根据关键词credible，定位到文章第三段最后一句“through the community…transforms…into credible discovery”说明个体发现声明需经科学共同体互动或者竞争，最终才能转化为共同体可信的发现。B选项“必须经过科学界检验”描述与原文相符。
29. Albert Szent‑Gyorgyi would most likely agree that ______.
A. scientific claims will survive challenges
B. discoveries today inspire future research
C. efforts to make discoveries are justified
D. scientific work calls for a critical mind
【精析】观点态度题。题干问的是“阿尔伯特·圣捷尔吉最可能赞同的观点”。利用题干关键词“Albert Szent‑Gyorgyi”定位到第四段倒数第三句“seeing what…thinking what…”，看到所有人都看得到的，想到没人想到过的。即强调对同样的事件要有不同看法。D选项“科学工作需要有批判性思维”与描述相符。
30. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Novelty as an Engine of Scientific Development
B. Collective Scrutiny in Scientific Discovery
C. Evolution of Credibility in Doing Science
D. Challenge to Credibility at the Gate to Science
【精析】主旨题。题干问的是“下列哪项可以作为这篇文章的最佳标题”。全文围绕科学可信度的演变过程展开叙述：从个体声明到（学界）集体检验最后确定其可信性。C选项“科学行为可信度的演化”全面地概括了这一过程。

阅读理解中的长难句
想要吃透阅读理解，首要突破口便是攻克长难句。每一个完整语句都是阅读材料最基础的语义载体。即便医博统考阅读充斥专业内容，它的出题考点和常规阅读文章并没有区别。因此在搞定生词以后，解析句子就成了阅读学习的核心任务。
所有英文语句均可拆分成核心主干与附加修饰。主干由主谓宾构成；而定语、状语、插入语，是三大修饰类型。处理复杂长句可以依照固定顺序操作：先拆解成简短易懂的分句，筛除掉起修饰作用的结构，抓住主干之后再一层层剖析剩余成分。
诸多提示标记能够帮助我们切割长难句，其中包含后置定语、连接词、从句引导词、介词、不定式符号to、分词以及标点符号。主语后面附带的修饰成分时常会干扰谓语的识别，所以学会剥离后置定语十分必要。
常用并列和从属连词有 and, or, but, yet, for, when, as, since, until, before, after, because, (al)though, so‑that；关系代词 that、which、who、whom、whose 和关系副词 when、where、why、how 用来搭建各类从句；介词短语、不定式短语能够承担定语、状语的功能，也适合作为分句断点；标点符号则分隔主句主体和修饰信息。

【难句精讲】
As a discovery claim works it through the community, the interaction and confrontation between shared and competing beliefs about the science and the technology involved transforms an individual’s discovery claim into the community’s credible discovery.
一、句子整体结构
本句为复合句状语从句（As 引导时间 / 伴随状语） + 主句（主谓宾核心结构）
二、语法成分
1. 状语从句：As a discovery claim works it through the community
引导词：As 随着（引导时间状语从句）
主语：a discovery claim 一项科学发现声明
谓语：works
宾语：it（指代前文的 discovery claim）
状语：through the community 在科研共同体内部
含义：随着这份发现声明在科研群体中流转、经受层层审核
2. 主句（句子主干）
主语：the interaction and confrontation
后置定语 1（修饰主语）：between shared and competing beliefs共识理念与对立观点之间的
后置定语 2（修饰 beliefs）：about the science and the technology involved针对相关科学与技术的
后置定语 3（修饰 science and technology）：involved 相关的、涉及的
谓语：transforms （第三人称单数）固定搭配：transform A into B 把 A 转变为 B
宾语 A：an individual’s discovery claim 个人提出的初步发现声明
宾语 B：the community’s credible discovery 学界公认的可靠科研成果
三、主干提取（最简主谓宾）
The interaction and confrontation transforms discovery claim into credible discovery.互动与交锋，将个人发现变为学界公认的可靠成果。
参考译文：
一份研究主张在学界流转打磨时，围绕相关科学技术，各方共识与分歧不断碰撞博弈，个人的初步发现，最终转化为学界公认可信的成果。
