which of the following most logically complete the passage?
On the whole,scientists do their most creative work before age forty,a tendency that has been taken to show that aging carries with it a loss of creative capacity.An alternative explanation is that by age forty most scientists have woek in their field for fifteen or more years and that by then they have exhausted the opportunity for creative work in that field.Supporting this explanation is the finding that----.

A.the average age of recipients of scientic research grants is significantly greater than forty.

B.a dispropotionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond age forty entered their field at an older age than in common.

C.many scientists temper their own expectations of what they can achieve in their research work by their belief that their creativty eill decline as they age.

D.scientists who are older than forty tend to find more satisfaction in other activistes, such as teaching and mentoring, than they do in pursuing their own research.

E.there is a similiar diminution of creativity with age in nonscientific field, such as poetry and musical composition.

Ans:B

但是我選D耶..........我覺得還蠻合理的ㄚ!!因為超過40歲的科學家的創造力減少了...於是重心轉移到其他讓他們更有滿足感的事情上....這樣解讀不行嗎?
我還想請問一下...B整句的意思是什麼??為什麼跑出一句than is common?我的解讀是...一大群不成比例的超過40歲還生產具有創造力的工作的科學家，進入他們的領域在更晚的年紀 than is common...最後不知道是什麼意思??

[ellisyhliu]

是啊.....
請問有哪位大大能幫忙回答一下?!?!
我也選D耶~~~~

On the whole,scientists do their most creative work before age forty,a tendency that has been taken to show that aging carries with it a loss of creative capacity.An alternative explanation is that by age forty most scientists have work in their field for fifteen or more years and that by then they have exhausted the opportunity for creative work in that field.

Supporting this explanation is the finding that
1.人越老就會失去創造力 (題外話 ～～我相信 ..)
找出可以SUPPORT上面藍色的部分

B.a dispropotionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond age forty entered their field at an older age than in common.
有很多WORK是由一般比較晚進入這領域的人所生產的 support原文的解釋--40歲以後還要在工作15年或是更多年,那麼他們就失去了創造的機會.就是說腦子是有期限的 (period),
D.scientists who are older than forty tend to find more satisfaction in other activistes, such as teaching and mentoring, than they do in pursuing their own research.
扯太遠了喔 誰管你40歲後要幹嘛 題目是再討論創造力跟年齡的關係
p.s.:這好像出現過在OG..但我找了11版找不到,有餘力在去找吧*_*

有錯請指教

[brownie1214]

這一題
怎麼感覺跟腦子的創造力關聯沒那麼大

maybe題目意思是
如果一直在同個領域混了有夠久 從年輕就進到科學界
再一連串的辛苦研發過程於科學界中已經磨損殆盡他們可憐低創造力
精疲力盡哩 沒東西被創造出來
所以呢 要support這個題目的話
B 選項
應該意思是
(一大群很有創造力的科學家even他們年紀都已經狠大老摳摳
但因為他們是很晚才進入這個領域
所以他們還能夠拼命的研發創造 )這整件事情狠common
就support了題目說 在科學圈子裡呆太久會無法研發創新的概念


.. m.. 重點在alternative explanation那邊被轉換了
並不是年紀關係 應該是在那圈子裡呆了多久 影響他們的創造力
要support





... 希望說低對...

[nomade]

題目中第一個解釋是因為年齡增長, 到了40歲科學家們就沒有創新能力了
第二個解釋是到了40歲許多科學家已經做了15年以上, 所以用光了創造機會

要support第二個解釋
B選項說: 那些40歲之後還很有創造力的科學家比起一般科學家晚進入這個領域 =>意即他們還沒有用光創造機會, 所以可以支持第二個解釋, 就是創新的能力是在於做了多久, 而不是在於年齡

[lucyyeh]

B. a disproportionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond age forty entered their field at an older age than is common

請教一下這一句話，這句話是什麼意思，還有這個than從哪裡來的呢?

霧煞煞~ ~ ~

[dibert8]

a disproportionately large number of the scientists {who produce highly creative work beyond age forty} entered their field at an older age than (age) is common
多數不成比例,有很高地創造力,的科學家在比一般的年紀要大以後才進入他們的領域.

[DoDoPrac]

題目要我們找出能supporting this explanation的答案
解釋１：大部份科學家在40歲以前做出最有創意的作品,所以老化是會使創意能力減少的
解釋２：40歲以後科學家已做了很多年,所以已消耗了能做出創意作品的機會

答案(B)--顯示「(1)很大比例的科學家在40歲以前完成他們高創意的作品，(2)他們進入此領域的年齡比一般進入的年齡」

上面括號(1)的部份,支持解釋1, 以直接支持解釋1中「大部份科學家在40歲以前做出最有創意的作品」
換句話說,超過40歲做出創意作品的比例是小部份,也正說明年紀越大,創意作品越少支持解釋1中「老化是會使創意能力減少的」

上面括號(2)的部份,支持解釋2, 在括號(1)部份已說明大部份科學家在40歲前完成創意作品,
所以按照括號(2)說明: 這些科學家進入領域的時間比一般情況晚,表示他們在40歲以前完成的創意作品,是因他們還沒耗盡創意能力,有很多創意產能,
支持了解釋2,也就是做越久,則創意能力越被消耗

(B)很完整地支持

[angela_yj0424]

前提︰40歲之後沒創造力
原因1︰年紀越大越沒創造力
原因2:進入這個領域工作太久所以沒創造力
要支持原因2:即工作太久所以沒創造力，Support方向－〉進這個領域不久也就是還很菜，所以還有創造力
B大量科學家超過四十歲,作有創造力的工作 進入他們的領域是以比平常更高的年紀即他們入行晚，所以入行晚，還比較有創造力，支持了工作久沒創造力
B:
