2015阅读真题
Asked whether any particular papers had impelled the change, McNutt said: "The creation of the 'statistics board' was motivated by concerns broadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientific research and is part of Science's overall drive to increase reproducibility in the research we publish.”
1.重点词汇及短语：
impel v. 促使，迫使【用法】impel sb to do sth迫使某人做……
statistics board 统计板
concern n. 忧虑，担心；重要的事情 concern about/over/with 对……关心
application n. 申请书；应用；应用程序

2.句子成分分析：
本句的主干是...McNutt said...。分词短语Asked whether...the change作句子的状语。引号中的内容是said的宾语，其主干是The creation of the "statistics board" was motivated...and is part of...。句中的broadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientific research解释说明concerns的内容。句中的to increase...we publish解释说明drive的内容，其中we publish是一个省略了that的定语从句，修饰research。作“是……还是……”解时，whether表示一种选择，其后可以跟介词短语或不定式短语。作“是否，会不会”解时，whether可用来引导名词性从句，即主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。引导主语从句时，可用it作形式主语。引导宾语从句时whether可与if换用。
3.参考译文：
当被问道是不是某些特殊的文件推动了这项变化时，麦克纳特回答说：“统计审稿编委会的设立源于对统计学和数据分析在科学研究中运用情况的普遍担忧，也是《科学》杂志为提升我们所发表的研究的可复制性而做出的全面努力的一部分。”
