GRE阅读考试模拟题及答案解析(2)

  P4

  1

  Geologists have long known that the Earth‘s mantle is heterogeneous, but its spatial arrangement remains unresolved — is the mantle essentially layered or irregularly heterogeneous?

  地理学家早就知道地幔是由不同物质混杂而成的,但各种成分的空间分布还不清楚 —— 地幔的结构是分层的,抑或完全无规律的混杂?

  2

  The best evidence for the layered - mantle thesis is the well - established fact that volcanic rocks found on oceanic islands, islands believed to result from mantle plumes arising from the lower mantle, are composed of material fundamentally different from that of the midocean ridge system, whose source, most geologists contend, is the upper mantle.

  地幔分层说的最佳证据,在于确实在海岛发现了一些火山岩,这些岛确信是由下层地幔升起的地柱形成的,岛上的火山岩是由跟海洋中部山脊系统完全不同的材料组成的,而海洋中部山脊被多数地理学家认为是上层地幔。

  Some geologists, however, on the basis of observations concerning mantle xenoliths, argue that the mantle is not layered, but that heterogeneity is created by fluids rich in "incompatible elements" (elements tending toward liquid rather than solid state) percolating upward and transforming portions of the upper mantle irregularly, according to the vagaries of the fluids‘ pathways.

  然而,一些地理学家基于对地幔中捕虏体的观测,主张地幔不是分层的,而是由含有大量不相容元素(这些元素更倾向于液态而不是固态)的流体组成的多样物质的混合,这些不相容元素向上过滤,并根据流动路径的多变性,不规则地改变上层地幔的成分。

  We believe, perhaps unimaginatively, that this debate can be resolved through further study, and that the underexplored midocean ridge system is the key. (157 words)

  也许听起来像陈词滥调,我们相信这场争论可以通过进一步研究终结,有待勘测的海洋中部山脊系统则是研究的关键。

  10. According to the passage, it is believed that oceanic islands are formed from

  (A) the same material as mantle xenoliths

  (B) the same material as the midocean ridge system

  (C) volcanic rocks from the upper mantle

  (D) incompatible elements percolating up from the lower mantle

  (E) mantle plumes arising from the lower mantle

  选E
