Nevertheless, by observing many trees at different stages, botanists can piece together the evolution of a single tree. Exactly the same principle applies in astronomy to the study of the life-story of globular clusters, huge spherical aggregations of about a million stars all swarming about each other.
Which of the following is an assumption made in the passage above?
A. The methods of scientists in one field generally carry over to other fields even if the subject matter is vastly different.
B. Obserations of the life cycle of a single individual have little value in scientific studies.
C. Globular clusters at different stages of development are accessible to astronomers for observation and study.
D. There are globular clusters that have not so far been detected by astronomers.
E. Redwoods and globular clusters must both be studied intensively now, while they still exist in sufficient number
请问为什么A不对？如果不同领域的方法不能借鉴，那么astronomy借鉴bontanist的方法不就不行了，那么他不是就没法研究了吗？ 作者: alzn2765 时间: 2016-2-26 00:47
首先，A选项有个词不好generally，基本上见到这个词这个选项就不太可能正确了。即使generally代表99％的情况，也不代表我们题中讨论的case是不是另外那1％。
其次A选项说的内容不过是重复了题干中已经说过的内容“Exactly the same principle applies in astronomy to the study of the life-story of globular clusters”这不就是A选项的内容？既然题干都在描述中提出来了，这就是前提premise不是assumption了。
这题是类比推理，C选项是补桥，补上了两个方法的共同点，结论才能成立。作者: Serenasunshine 时间: 2016-2-27 20:25
