The material in the passage could best be used in an argument for ______.

A．discontinuing the space program

B．increased funding for research on amorphous materials

C．further study of the history of silicon crystals

D．increased reliance on solar energy

正确答案：B
解析：尽管作者没有明确提倡为非结晶材料(amorphous materials)提供更多的研究基金，但全文隐含了这一论点。在第一段中，“The larger part of research funding has been devoted to study of single crystal solar cells”表明历史偏见对单晶太阳能电池有利，不过，这项技术没有很大的前途(The technique holds little promise．)。根据第三段主题句可知，非结晶材料可以成为硅电池(silicon cell)的替代品。因此我们可以推断出，应增加对非结晶材料的研究基金。
