Years before the advent of plate tectonics―the widely accepted theory, developed in the mid-1960's, the holds that the major features of Earth's surface are created by the horizontal motions of Earth's outer shell, or lithosphere―a similar theory was rejected by the geological community. In 1912, Alfred Wegener proposed, in a widely debated theory that came to be called continental drift, that Earth's continents were mobile. To most geologists today, Wegener's The origin of Continents and Oceans appears an impressive and prescient document, containing several of the essential presumptions underlying plate tectonics theory: the horizontal mobility of pieces of Earth's crust; the essential difference between oceanic and continental crust; and a causal connection between horizontal displacements and the formation of mountain chains. Yet despite the considerable overlap between Wegener's concepts and the later widely embraced plate tectonics theory, and despite the fact that continental drift theory presented a possible solution to the problem of the origin of mountains at a time when existing explanations were seriously in doubt, in its day Wegener's theory was rejected by the vast majority of geologists. Most geologists and many historians today believe that Wegener's theory was rejected because of its lack of an adequate mechanical basis. Stephen Jay Gould, for example, argues that continental drift theory was rejected because it did not explain how continents could move through an apparently solid oceanic floor. However, as Anthony Hallam has pointed out, many scientific phenomena, such as the ice ages, have been accepted before they could be fully explained. The most likely cause for the rejection of continental drift―a cause that has been largely ignored because we consider Wegener's theory to have been validated by the theory of plate tectonics―is the nature of the evidence that was put forward to support it. Most of Wegener's evidence consisted of homologies―similarities of patterns and forms based on direct observations of rocks in the field, supported by the use of hammers, hand lenses, and field notebooks. In contrast, the data supporting plate tectonics were impressively geophysical―instrumental determinations of the physical properties of Earth garnered through the use of seismographs, magnetometers, and computers. 我选了E considerable overlap前面是despite XXX说明这个是个成就，他和后面的反对W的观点的事情是相反的。所以感觉D说用这个词的目的是解释为啥W理论。请老师辨析DE！谢谢！

请问数学老师 条件2为什么成立 谢谢老师

老师您好，这道阅读理解不会做，用定位的方法读了原文也没太懂为什么选D

文章的最后一句话回答了这个问题，也就是C选项，我不懂为什么正确答案是B

ken老师你好，这道题目我的思路是设97、98、99依次为a、b、c，根据题目得出b=C+y; b=a+x。条件1）x>y，可以得出a<c。 第二个条件不太懂。而且这道题目的开始的的less、 more in 1999，这些术语我转化成公式就浪费了半个小时，想问老师有没有更高效的解决办法？

请数学老师讲解下思路

麻烦老师给我讲解一下这一题，通过The body…was that of the man ，身体是那个男人的一部分，而不是身体是那个男人。这个点排除ABC. DE关于时态部分不是很清晰

请数学老师解答下第三个为什么不行

请数学老师帮我解答下，再讲下怎么画图 谢谢老师

麻烦老师给我辨析一下图1和图2，关于图1那题当时选错之后机构老师给我解答的是40 to 44 million years 是一个时间区间，不能用estimate at 因为 at 有精确到某个点的意味。那么图2的正确答案是不是因为3.47 billion years 是一个精确的年份所以要用 at 。。

麻烦老师给我解答一下这题，这题BUT后面主要想表达的核心语意是 家庭用电少于百分之一和家里面的电仍然是由蜡烛提供。我觉得B 顺着读下去也能表达这个语意，就是 我觉得AB 都能表达这个语意，关于两者的差异我不是很清晰 麻烦老师帮我辨析一下
