文章:

A meteor stream is composed of dust particles that have been ejected from a parent comet at a variety of velocities. These particles follow the same orbit as the parent comet, but due to their differing velocities they slowly gain on or fall behind the disintegrating comet until a shroud of dust surrounds the entire cometary orbit. Astronomers have hypothesized that a meteor stream should broaden with time as the dust particles' individual orbits are perturbed by planetary gravitational fields. A recent computer-modeling experiment tested this hypothesis by tracking the influence of planetary gravitation over a projected 5,000-year period on the positions of a group of hypothetical dust particles. In the model, the particles were randomly distributed throughout a computer simulation of the orbit of an actual meteor stream, the Geminid. The researcher found, as expected, that the computer model stream broadened with time. Conventional theories, however, predicted that the distribution of particles would be increasingly dense toward the center of a meteor stream. Surprisingly, the computer model meteor stream gradually came to resemble a thick walled, hollow pipe.

Whenever the Earth passes through a meteor stream, a meteor shower occurs. Moving at a little over 1,500,000 miles per day around its orbit, the Earth would take, on average, just over a day to cross the hollow, computer-model Geminid stream if the stream were 5,000 years old. Two brief periods of peak meteor activity during the shower would be observed, one as the Earth entered the thick-walled "pipe" and one as it exited. There is no reason why the Earth should always pass through the stream's exact center, so the time interval between the two bursts of activity would vary from one year to the next.

Has the predicted twin-peaked activity been observed for the actual yearly Geminid meteor shower? The Geminid data between 1970 and 1979 show just such a bifurcation, a secondary burst of meteor activity being clearly visible at an average of 19 hours(1,200,000 miles)after the first burst. The time intervals between the bursts suggest the actual Geminid stream is about 3000 years old.

题目:

Which of the following is an assumption underlying the last sentence of the passage?

选项:

A、In each of the years between 1970 and 1979, the Earth took exactly 19 hours to cross the Geminid meteor stream.The comet associated with the Geminid meteor stream has totally disintegrated.
B、The Geminid meteor stream should continue to exist for at least 5, 000 years.
C、The Geminid meteor stream has not broadened as rapidly as the conventional theories would have predicted.
D、The computer-model Geminid meteor stream provides an accurate representation of the development of the actual Geminid stream.

答案:

E

麻烦慧雯老师解答一下,老师您好,读这篇文章的时候没有明白第一段假设和观点之间的关系,我当时以为是 Astronomers(会变宽)和传统观点(中心集中)是两个相反观点,我也不知道为什么相反哈哈,就稀里糊涂往下做了,所以这道题选了相反观点的CIt can be inferred from the passage that which of the following would most probably be observed during the Earth's passage through a meteor stream if the conventional theories mentioned in the highlighted text were correct? A.Meteor activity would gradually increase to a single, intense peak, and then gradually decline. B.Meteor activity would be steady throughout the period of the meteor shower. C.Meteor activity would rise to a peak at the beginning and at the end of the meteor shower. D.Random bursts of very high meteor activity would be interspersed with periods of very activity. E.In years in which the Earth passed through only the outer areas of a meteor stream, meteor activity would be absent. The passage suggests that which of the following is a prediction concerning meteor streams that can be derived from both the conventional theories mentioned in the highlighted text and the new computer derived theory?这道题完全不知道该怎么定位,蒙了一个 Which of the following is an assumption underlying the last sentence of the passage? (这个题我是直接定位最后一句,因为也不太明白文章最后一段的关系,就往前看了点,大概明白就是距离时间速度之类的推出了时间,所以盲选了A ) A.In each of the years between 1970 and 1979, the Earth took exactly 19 hours to cross the Geminid meteor stream. B.The comet associated with the Geminid meteor stream has totally disintegrated. C.The Geminid meteor stream should continue to exist for at least 5,000 years. D.The Geminid meteor stream has not broadened as rapidly as the conventional theories would have predicted. E.The computer—model Geminid meteor stream provides an accurate representation of the development of the actual Geminid stream. 问题比较多麻烦您啦,这篇真的太绝望了,怎么破呀,我就对了第一题。。。谢谢老师~
