参考答案

C

答案解析

本题是顺接关系题。该句位于第八段中间。空格之前提到欧洲联盟框架资助项目“2014年将开始实行一个全新的项目:地平线2020,这个项目将不再设有这项专项基金。这个决定导致了社会科学家的抗议。但是,这个决定的意图并非忽视社会科学;相反,是想要推动社会科学”,由此可以推测下文即将解释为什么这个决定将要推动社会科学的发展。空格之后的部分则提到“让社会科学更多地与其他领域合作”,暗示加强学科间合作是其中一个原因。浏览各个选项发现,C项中force social science to integrate their work with other categories正是对空格之后collaborative endeavors的同义复现,同时该句也解释了为什么这个决定将要推动社会科学的发展。

"Intelligence"at best is an assumptive construct-the word´ s meaning has never been clear.
56) There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term than there is on how to interpret or classify them. But it is generally agreed that a person who has high intelligence is one who can grasp ideas readily, make distinctions, reason logically, and use verbal and mathe-matical symbols in solving problems. An intelligence test is a rough measure of a child´s capacity for learning, particularly for learning the kinds of things required in school. It does not measure character, social adjustment, physical endurance, manual skills, or artistic abilities. It is not sup-posed toit was not designed for such purposes.57 )To criticize it for such failure is roughly com-parable to criticizing a thermometer for not measuring wind velocity.
The other thing we should notice is that the assessment of the intelligence of any subject is es-sentially a comparative affair.
58 ) Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter we must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a "valid" or "fair" comparison. It is here that some of the difficulties which interest us begin. Any test performed involves at least three fac-tors:the intention to do one´s best, the knowledge required for understanding what you must do,and the intellectual ability to do it.59) The first two must be equal for all who are being compared, if any comparison in terms of intelligence is to be made. In school populations in our culture these assumptions can be made fair and reasonable, and the value of intelligence testing has been proved thoroughly. Its value lies, of course, in its providing a satisfactory basis for prediction. Nobody is in the least interested in the marks a little child gets on his test; what we are interested in is whether we can conclude from his mark on the test that the child will do better or worse than other children of his age at tasks which we think require" general intelligence".60) On the whole, such a conclu-sion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence, but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the other with whom he is being compared, and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed.
