    Paleontologists hypothesize that modern birds evolved from the family of dinosaurs that included Tyrannosaurus rex. This hypothesis would be strongly supported if evidence that dinosaurs from this family had a body covering resembling feathers could be found, but so far no such evidence has been found.  Which of the following, if true, would most help the paleontologists explain why no evidence of feathered dinosaurs has yet been found?
    A

    Fossilized dinosaurs have shown many birdlike characteristics, such as bone structure and winglike arms.

    B

    If birds are in fact the descendants of dinosaurs, then it can be argued that the dinosaurs never really died out.

    C

    Flying dinosaurs such as the Pteranodon, which is not thought to have been related to modern birds, do not appear to have had feathers.

    D

    Soft tissues such as skin and feathers do not fossilize like bones, and therefore are far less likely to have left permanent evidence in the fossil record.

    E

    The thousands of dinosaur fossils excavated by paleontologists represent only a tiny fraction of the billions of dinosaurs that once lived.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    D项为未发掘到恐龙皮肤的原因提供了一个可能的答案,故D项是正确的。E项与问题的关联度不如D项,所以不选E项。

    They indicate that sediments found during an ice age contain more calcium carbonate than sediments formed at other times.

    B

    They are less reliable than the evidence from rocks on land in determining the volume of land ice.

    C

    They can be used to deduce the relative volume of land ice that was present when the sediment was laid down.

    D

    They are more unpredictable during an ice age than in other climatic conditions.

    E

    They can be used to determine atmospheric conditions at various times in the past.


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    细节题。第二段第二句指出:relative land-ice volume for a given period can be deduced from the ratio of two oxygen isotopes, 16 and 18, found in ocean sediments,故可知洋底的氧同位素比例可以用来推算形成时陆冰的体积,故本题应选C项。

D required for ages 14 and up”不符,发生语意矛盾;B项语意矛盾,与文中提供个人信息,包括国籍(country of origin)有出入;C项语意矛盾,单个旅客也可以参观白宫与原文“十人以上团体方可参观”(Only groups of 10 or more may request a tour)不符。
