参考解析
解析：
推断题。文章第四段介绍了人口过剩的问题，并指出这个问题既可以看作是诸如政治地理这样的长期问题，又可以看作是科技方面的短期问题。第六段提到，由于科学家接受的教育，似乎很少有政府规划者会认为长期战略和短期战略之间可能会相互冲突。特别是科学家们所受到的训练让他们相信，只要找到合适的方法，所有的问题都能迎刃而解。由此可见，作者认为科学家们只注意解决短期的实际问题，从而忽视了长期的社会因素，故答案为C项。A、B、D三项文章中没有提及，故排除。

In any debate______ ( 52 ) 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______(53)desired results.The latest of the finagle factor in action comes from Stephen Jay Gould,a Harvard biologist,who has ______(54)the important 19th century work of Dr. Samuel George Morton.Morton was fa-mous in his time for analysing the brain______(55)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______(56),that whites constitute a superior race.Gould went back to Morton's original data and concluded that the______(57)were an example of the finagle at work .He found that Morton's“discovery”was made by leaving out embarrassing data,______(58)incorrect procedures,and changing his criteria-again,always in fayour of his argument. Morton has been thoroughly discredited by now and scientists do not believe that brain size reflects______(59).But Gould went on to say Morton's story is only an example of a common problem in ______(60)work .Some of the leading figures in science are______(61)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______(62)Laudius Ptolemy,the Greek astronomer,whose master work,Almagest,summed up the case for a solar system that had the earth asits centre .Recent______(63)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,it is______(64)that all the studies sponsored by the sugar industry find that the artificial sweetener is unsafe,______(65)all the studies sponsored by the diet food industry find nothing wrong with it.60._________A:. unusualB: mentalC: scientificD: manual
