问题 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 experiences．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 fiew discovery and possiblv accompanying technology．As a discovery claim works its way through the community，the interaction and confrontation between shared and competing beliefs about the science and the techn010gY involved transforms an individual’s discovery claim into the community’s credible discovenr．
    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 phvsiologist Albert once described discovery as“seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobodv 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 0f reason．”
    请回答下列问题。
Paragraph 3 shows that a discovery claim becomes credible after it___________．
选项 A、has attracted the attention of the general public
B、has been examined by the scientific communitv
C、has received recognition from editors and reviewers
D、has been frequently quoted by peer scientists
答案B
解析 细节题。根据题干定位在文章第三段。该段先讲了科学界各人物角色在“取信过程”中的作用，然后说“发现声明”在历经“取信过程”之后，由个体的发现声明转变成集体可信的发现，即科学发现获得公众的可信度需要集体的努力和验证。A项“吸引普通大众注意力”原文未提。C项“获得编辑和评论家认同”、D项“被科学家同行经常性引用”，只是文中所说的一个方面，属于以偏概全。故本题选B。
