老师您好能否帮我讲解下下面这个文章考试时该如何读，我读完这种文章压根不知道在说什么，只知道在讲ocean basin形成机制的几种理论。No very satisfactory account of the mechanism that caused the formation of the ocean basins has yet been given. The traditional view supposes that the upper mantle of the earth behaves as a liquid when it is subjected to small forces for long periods and that differences in temperature under oceans and continents are sufficient to produce convection in the mantle of the earth with rising convection currents under the mid-ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents. Theoretically, this convection would carry the continental plates along as though they were on a conveyor belt (conveyor belt: n. 传送带) and would provide the forces needed to produce the split that occurs along the ridge. This view may be correct: it has the advantage that the currents are driven by temperature differences that themselves depend on the position of the continents. Such a back-coupling, in which the position of the moving plate has an impact on the forces that move it, could produce complicated and varying motions. On the other hand, the theory is implausible because convection does not normally occur along lines, and it certainly does not occur along lines broken by frequent offsets (an abrupt bend in an object by which one part is turned aside out of line) or changes in direction, as the ridge is. Also it is difficult to see how the theory applies to the plate between the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. This plate is growing on both sides, and since there is no intermediate trench, the two ridges must be moving apart. It would be odd if the rising convection currents kept exact pace with them. An alternative theory is that the sinking part of the plate, which is denser than the hotter surrounding mantle, pulls the rest of the plate after it. Again it is difficult to see how this applies to the ridge in the South Atlantic, where neither the African nor the American plate has a sinking part. Another possibility is that the sinking plate cools the neighboring mantle and produces convection currents that move the plates. This last theory is attractive because it gives some hope of explaining the enclosed seas, such as the Sea of Japan. These seas have a typical oceanic floor, except that the floor is overlaid by several kilometers of sediment. Their floors have probably been sinking for long periods. It seems possible that a sinking current of cooled mantle material on the upper side of the plate might be the cause of such deep basins. The enclosed seas are an important feature of the earth’s surface, and seriously require explanation because, in addition to the enclosed seas that are developing at present behind island arcs, there are a number of older ones of possibly similar origin, such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Black Sea, and perhaps the North Sea.

看不懂，错选C

正确选项E取非怎么理解（我后来直接加强倒是想懂了）

如何解这两道题呢？

What is the median number of employees assigned per project for the projects at Company Z? 1, 25 percent of the projects at Company Z have 4 or more employees assigned to each project. 2,35 percent of the projects at Companny Z have 2 or fewer employees assigned to each project.

18！能被6整出，但不能被6的N+1次方整除，问n是多少？ 解释说求的18！有8个6的因子，哪八个阿？

原文我读到：不诚实就难达成政治compromise，结论是不诚实可以说明运作良好。 最后我剩下了A和C两个选项，A的意思是“达成Compromise不一定说明运作良好”；C的意思是“选民有其他判断标准”。 当时我的反应是“C中说到选民，跟原文意思关系较近”。 想听听老师的解题思路，以及我思路的问题。 谢谢老师。

原文 我是这么理解的 想让我解释为什么水藻擅长在慢流速水生长但是却在极度干旱的情况下（非常慢的水流速） 死翘翘 。 我觉得ABCDE 都无法解释 这个现象。。 D选项在说 什么在澳大利亚会经历一个完全的干旱然后又恢复。我感觉跟没说一样啊。 不知道是如何解释原文的 还希望老师解答 ^.^
