    10 恐龍滅絕[附考古]
    V1 by dandanhoo
    有一篇悶長的,超級(jí)多詞不認(rèn)得,4段,說的是恐龍滅絕,氣候溫度變化啊什么,一道題是前兩段都說明了什么,第三段有2個(gè)還是3個(gè)題目。。。。前面白看了。。。
    V2 by niubirs
    恐龍的。不是上月那篇貌似,應(yīng)該是同類型更早的了,我見過。。。巨長,但很簡單??茖W(xué)家揣測恐龍滅絕的原因,提出來兩點(diǎn),一是彗星撞地球所以引發(fā)了氣候的變化,二是啥忘了。最后作者給予全部否認(rèn)。
    有一道題問以下哪個(gè)是作者贊同的觀點(diǎn)?我選的是作者認(rèn)為需要更多的資料和繼續(xù)研究。可以定位在最后一段的最后一句,作者說以上兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn)均不靠譜。需要更多的。。。去研究。
    注:GMAC的題庫里面有多篇提及恐龍滅絕的文章,且有幾篇內(nèi)容十分相近。由于現(xiàn)在僅2人遇到,還無法判斷V1和V2的作者遇到是否為同一篇,所以也不能確定提供的考古資料一定正確,故使用請(qǐng)謹(jǐn)慎。
    考古[尚未確認(rèn)]
    V1
    第一段:講以前考古學(xué)家對(duì)恐龍的滅絕有興趣,但最近(好像是221 million years ago,有考點(diǎn),但我忘了考什么了)興趣逐漸轉(zhuǎn)移到了恐龍出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候(有細(xì)節(jié)題)
    第二段:恐龍出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候,一些爬行動(dòng)物滅絕了,有科學(xué)家認(rèn)為是恐龍的到來使它們滅絕的;但也有科學(xué)家認(rèn)為恐龍到來了很久以后它們才滅絕,所以不是恐龍的到來造成它們的滅絕。于是,一種理論認(rèn)為是氣候變化導(dǎo)致的爬行動(dòng)物滅絕,講了很多,最后被作者找了個(gè)原因斃了。[氣候理論被作者否定了]
    第三段:講另一些科學(xué)家認(rèn)為是隕石撞擊地球使它們滅絕的;舉了個(gè)例子,在加拿大魁北克發(fā)現(xiàn)的隕石坑形成的年代和爬行動(dòng)物滅絕的時(shí)間吻合(細(xì)節(jié)題:問舉這個(gè)例子 in order to?我選的D,就是承認(rèn)撞擊的年代和爬行動(dòng)物滅絕的年代吻合,E選項(xiàng)很迷惑,是說為了說明是隕石撞擊造成爬行動(dòng)物滅絕,我猶豫了一會(huì)兒,認(rèn)為還是選D, 畢竟作者觀點(diǎn)是不同意隕石撞擊說的);接下來繼續(xù)說這種理論,但也被作者找了個(gè)理由給斃了。[隕石撞擊理論作者也否定了]
    第四段:講作者態(tài)度,他認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該簡單的接受某一種觀點(diǎn),而應(yīng)該綜合考慮這個(gè)complex的問題,考了作者態(tài)度題
    V2
    第一段,LATE XX 紀(jì),一種M恐龍的化石使得人們長期認(rèn)為這種恐龍的出現(xiàn)和一些生物的滅絕是同期的。近期的研究讓科學(xué)家的興趣從研究恐龍的滅絕轉(zhuǎn)向研究這種恐龍出現(xiàn)的年代的 surrounding events。
    第二段,之后文章舉了很多流派的解釋,首先排除了恐龍的原因,因?yàn)榭铸埑霈F(xiàn)之后很久某些動(dòng)物才滅絕(覺得邏輯不是很通)。新研究發(fā)現(xiàn),這種M恐龍的出現(xiàn)predate生物的滅絕。有人說那些生物滅絕是因?yàn)樘鞖猓热缣鞖庠?jīng)很干燥。 但是這些生物的滅絕在天氣很干燥之前還是之后,并且有些生物生活在更干燥的環(huán)境下,并且好后來才滅絕。
    第三段,有人說是慧星撞擊魁北克省,還留了個(gè)坑呢!但是,當(dāng)時(shí)只有幾種動(dòng)物滅絕,大規(guī)模的脊椎動(dòng)物滅絕不是這個(gè)時(shí)候。
    第四段,原因是多方面的,要綜合考慮。
