2.     The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about the Milankovitch theory?看似信息题,实为态度题

(A) It is the only possible explanation for the ice ages.

(B) It is too limited to provide a plausible explanation for the ice ages, despite recent research findings.

(C) It cannot be tested and confirmed until further research on volcanic activity is done.

(D) It is one plausible explanation, though not the only one, for the ice ages.正评价,但不是唯一可行的理论D

(E) It is not a plausible explanation for the ice ages, although it has opened up promising possibilities for future research.

 

3.     It can be inferred from the passage that the isotope record*3 taken from ocean sediments would be less useful to researchers if which of the following were true?改善题的变体(重要题型)

(A) It indicated that lighter isotopes of oxygen predominated at certain times.
