标题: LSAT 17 sectionIII-3 [打印本页] 作者: joice 时间: 2003-8-20 10:31 标题: LSAT 17 sectionIII-3 3. Early in this century, Alfred Wegener developed the concept of continental drift . His ideas were rejected vehemently because he postulated no identifiable force strong enough to make the continents move. We have come to accept Wegener's theory, not because we have pinpointed such a force, but because new instruments have finally allowed continental movement to be confirmed by observation.
The passage best illustrates which one of the following statements about science?
(A) The aim of science is to define the manifold of nature within the terms of a single harmonious theory.
(B) In a accepting a mathematical description of nature, science has become far more accurate at identifying underlying forces.
(C) The paradox of science is that every improvement in its measuring instruments seems to make adequate theories harder to work out.
(D) Science employing statistics and the laws of probability, is concerned not with the single event but with mass behavior.
(E) When the events a theory postulates are detected, the theory is accepted even without an explanation of how those events are brought about.
Answer is E. I was totally no idea how to do it. Please help!!! 作者: albert 时间: 2003-8-21 03:51
这道题目主要是阅读理解。。 原文说： 虽然我们还无法知道是什么力量推动了板块。。但是由于观察到了他确实移动，所以我们不得不接受大陆漂移理论。。
E 当某个理论支持的现象被发现了。。即使无法知道什么产生这个现象，我们也可以接受这个理论。

Thanks. Albert. I lost my confidence afte a few sections of LSAT. I don't know how to study at all now. I haven't touched LSAT or pp2 for ten days. Maybe i should begin from OG or XDF. BTW, is there anyway i can download the CHENGXIANDONG cr.
Thanks.作者: albert 时间: 2003-8-21 21:31
hi,joice.you are welcome..
if you haven't touched OG or XDF by now, I suggest that you start with OG and XDF, which is easier and more close to real test..After you finish OG and XDF, you will adapt to the logic question of ETS...then if you have time, you can do some LSAT
CXD, I don't where to download..I try to find, But can't find it. good luck作者: joice 时间: 2003-8-21 23:27
Thanks. albert. you are right. Since i don't feel comfortable doing LSAT, it is better try og or xdf first. I am thinking taking the xdf online class. I don't know how good it is. August is gone almost. I hope i can get it done by the end of Sep. I've been calling meself all kinds of pigs, but i just don't feel like to study everyday. I wil make a new bloody plan, i swear i will stick to the schedule this time.作者: albert 时间: 2003-8-21 23:40
