下面的短文有15处空白,请根据短文内容为每处空白确定1 个最佳选项。
Science and Truth
“ FINAGLE” (欺骗)is not a word that most people associate with science. One reason is that the image of the scientist is of one who always____________ (1) data in an impartial (不偏不倚的)search for truth. In any debate____________ (2 ) intelligence, schooling,
energy — the phrase “ science says” usually disarms opposition.
But scientists have long acknowledged the existence of a "finagle factor" — a tendency by many scientists to give a helpful change to the data to ____________ (3) desired results The latest of the finagle factor in action comes from Stephen Jay Gould, a Harvard biologist,
who has____________ (4) the important 19th century work of Dr.Samuel George Morton. Morton was famous in his time for analysing the brain____________ (5) of the skulls as a measure of intelligence. He concluded that whites had the largest brains, that the brains of
Indians and blacks were smaller, and____________ (6), that whites constitute a superior race.
Gould went back to Morton’s original data and concluded that the ____________ (7 ) were an example of the finagle at work. He found that Morton’s “ discovery” was made by leaving out embarrassing data, ___________ ( 8 ) incorrect procedures, and changing his
criteria — again, always in favour of his argument. Morton has been thoroughly discredited by now and scientists do not believe that brain size reflects____________ (9).
But Gould went on to say Morton’s story is only an example of a common problem in ____________ (10) work. Some of the leading figures in science are_________ (11) to have used the finagle factor. Gould says that Isaac Newton fudged out (捏造)to support at least three central statements that he could not prove. And so ____________ (12) Laudius Ptolemy, the Greek astronomer, whose master work, Almagest, summed up the case for a solar system that had the earth as its centre. Recent____________ (13) indicate that Ptolemy either faked some key data or resorted heavily to the finagle factor.
All this is important because the finagle factor is still at work. For example, in the artificial sweetener controversy, for example, it is ____________ (14) that all the studies sponsored by the sugar industry find that the artificial sweetener is unsafe, ____________(15) all the studies sponsored by the diet food industry find nothing wrong with it.
