Questions 42-52 are based on the following passage and supplementary material.This passage is adapted from Carolyn Gramling, "Source of Mysterious Medieval Eruption Identified." ©2013 by American Association for the Advancement of Science.
It ’ s not a total surprise that an Indonesian volcano might be the source of the eruption, Miller says. "An equatorial eruption is more consistent with the apparent climate impacts." And, he adds, with sulfate appearing in both polar ice caps — Arctic and Antarctic — there is "a strong consensus" that this also supports an equatorial source. Another possible candidate — both in terms of timing and geographical location — is Ecuador ’ s Quilotoa, estimated to have last erupted between 1147 and 1320 C.E. But when Lavigne ’ s team examined shards of volcanic glass from this volcano, they found that they didn ’ t match the chemical composition of the glass found in polar ice cores, whereas the Samalas glass is a much closer match.That, they suggest, further strengthens the case that Samalas was responsible for the medieval "year without summer" in 1258 C.E.
48. As used in line 68, the phrase "Another possible candidate" implies that
A ) powerful volcanic eruptions occur frequently.
B ) the effects of volcanic eruptions can last for centuries.
C ) scientists know of other volcanoes that erupted during the Middle Ages.
D ) other volcanoes have calderas that are very large.
答案 : C
答案解析 : 這道題問的是 "Another possible candidate" 暗示瞭什麼。我們定位到 Line 68 發現這個短語在這段開頭，因此我們需要結合上一段的內容來進行判斷。上一段 ( Lines 61-67 ) 主要講的是 "Indonesian volcano" 也可能是爆發的來源。那麼，下一段 ( Line 68 ) 開頭提到 "Another possible candidate … is Ecuador ’ s Quilotoa, estimated to have last erupted between 1147 and 1320 C.E." 從 "another" 可以看出，這兩段是並列關系，也就是說後面一段提到的 "Ecuador ’ s Quilotoa" 也可能是爆發的來源。
A 選項說暗示瞭威力強大的火山爆發經常發生。僅一個 "another" 不足以說明 "occur frequently"，同時這也不能支撐文章主題強調的 "Source"，因此排除。
B 選項說暗示瞭火山爆發的影響能持續幾個世紀。 但是 "Another possible candidate" 並不能體現關於時間的任何暗示，因此排除。
C 選項說暗示瞭科學傢知道還有其它火山在中世紀時期爆發。正如我們之前分析的，"Another possible candidate" 是指 "Ecuador ’ s Quilotoa" 也可能是爆發的來源，也就是說，科學傢知道 "Ecuador ’ s Quilotoa" 也是在中世紀爆發的，該選項可以成立。
D 選項說暗示瞭其它火山的破火山口很大。從 "Another possible candidate" 無法推出該信息，排除。
