GRE阅读考试模拟题及答案解析(2)

  句 2 :

  The best evidence for the layered - mantle thesis is the well - established fact thatvolcanic 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.

  这是个长句但不算难别怕,桃色背景为句子主干,粉了吧唧的部分是选项根据。

  For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply

  11. It can be inferred from the passage that the supporters of the "layered-mantle" theory believe which of the following?

  □A The volcanic rocks on oceanic islands are composed of material derived from the lower part of the mantle.

  □B The materials of which volcanic rocks on oceanic islands and midocean ridges are composed are typical of the layers from which they are thought to originate.

  □C The differences in composition between volcanic rocks on oceanic islands and the midocean ridges are a result of different concentrations of incompatible elements.

  选AB

  A 在文中可以直接找到根据,句 2 。

  B composed 之前都是主语,主语的中心词是 materials ,分层说的支持者当然认为两种石头都是所在层次的典型代表,如果他们不相信这一点,理论也就不成立了。

  C incompatible elements 是乱流说提到的内容,放在分层说题目中,是错误组合的干扰信息。

  12. In the context of the passage, "unimaginatively" is closest in meaning to

  (A) pedestrian

  (B) controversial

  (C) unrealistic

  (D) novel

  (E) paradoxical

  选A

  pedestrian 平淡无奇的,一般的

  unimaginatively 缺乏想象力地

  P5

  1

  Scientists have sought evidence of long - term solar periodicities by examining indirect climatological data, such as fossil records of the thickness of ancient tree rings.

  科学家们已经设法通过研究间接气象学数据来寻找太阳长期周期性规律的证据,比如古树年轮厚度的化石记录。

  2

  These studies, however, failed to link unequivocally terrestrial climate and the solar - activity cycle, or even to confirm the cycle's past existence. (45 words)

  然而,这些研究没能在地球气候和太阳活动周期之间,建立明确的对应关系,甚至不能确定这种周期活动的存在。

  13. It can be inferred from the passage that studies attempting to use tree-ring thickness to locate possible links between solar periodicity and terrestrial climate are based on which of the following assumptions?

  (A) The solar-activity cycle existed in its present form during the time period in which the tree rings grew.

  (B) The biological mechanisms causing tree growth are unaffected by short-term weather pat terns.

  (C) Average tree-ring thickness varies from species to species.

  (D) Tree-ring thicknesses reflect changes in terrestrial climate.

  (E) Both terrestrial climate and the solar-activity cycle randomly affect tree-ring thickness.

  选D

  非常好的逻辑题。

  句 1 提出了三个逻辑重点:太阳、地球气候、树。

  具体来说,科学家要研究太阳的周期性规律,他们选择去查阅地球气候的一些记录,最终选择了研究古树年轮。

  这里有个假设:

  X 地球气候的变化能够在树的年轮中准确反映。

  还有一个猜想:

  Y 太阳周期活动能够准确地在地球气候记录中反映。

  句 2 给出了研究的结果,科学家们猜错了(Y不成立),在树的记录也就是地球气候的记录中,看不出与太阳周期活动有关,甚至在树的记录中都察觉不到太阳是有周期性活动的。

  题目问我们研究基于什么样的假设,D项符合。

  如果你选了其他项,且仍然觉得自己对,不妨给我讲讲,也许说着说着你就明白了。
