以下是对2015年考研英语二阅读真题的翻译：
原文：
The author of "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" argues that the scientific establishment has become so entrenched that it can no longer distinguish between fact and fiction. He claims that the mainstream media, which is heavily funded by corporations, often presents only the "official" version of events, ignoring alternative explanations that might challenge the status quo. According to the author, this has led to a decline in critical thinking and a general acceptance of whatever is presented as "truth."
翻译：
《皇帝没有穿衣服》一书的作者认为，科学界已经变得如此根深蒂固，以至于它无法再区分事实与虚构。他声称，主流媒体，由于大量资金来自企业，常常只呈现“官方”事件版本，忽略可能挑战现状的替代解释。根据作者的说法，这导致了批判性思维的下降和普遍接受 whatever 被呈现为“真理”。
