单选题 Scientists attempting to replicate certain controversial results reported by a group of experienced researchers failed to get the same results as those reported. The conclusion drawn from this by the scientists who conducted the replication experiments was that the originally reported results had been due to faulty measurements.
The argument of the scientists who conducted the replication experiments assumes that

A、 the original experiments had not been described in sufficient detail to make an exact replication possible.
B、 the fact that the originally reported results aroused controversy made it highly likely that they were in error.
C、 the theoretical principles called into question by the originally reported results were themselves based on weak evidence.
D、 the replication experiments were not so likely as the original experiments to be marred by faulty measurements.
E、 (E) the researchers who originally reported the controversial results had themselves observed those results only once.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 从段落中我们可以很容易地看出，进行重复试验的科学家一定是在认为他们进行重复实验所用的测量方法是正确的前提下认为以前的测量方法有误，以致他们得不到一致的结果。因此(D)是正确答案；(B)具有一定的迷惑性，但是一定要把题读清楚了，在进行重复试验的科学家看来以前的结果有误并不是起因于这些结果有争议的事实，而是起因于得到这些结果所用的测量方法不正确。(A)、(C)和(E)三选项均不能从段落中合理地推出。
