The Earth’s rivers constantly carry dissolved salts into its oceans.Clearly, therefore, by taking the resulting increase in salt levels in the oceans over the past hundred years and then determining how many centuries of such increases it would have taken the oceans to reach current salt levels from a hypothetical initial salt-free state, the maximum age of the Earth’s oceans can be accurately estimated.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
- The quantities of dissolved salts deposited by rivers in the Earth’s oceans have not been unusually large during the past hundred years.
- At any given time, all the Earth’s rivers have about the same salt levels.
- There are salts that leach into the Earth’s oceans directly from the ocean floor.
- There is no method superior to that based on salt levels for estimating the maximum age of the Earth’s oceans.
- None of the salts carried into the Earth’s oceans by rivers are used up by biological activity in the oceans.
我不明白为什么选择A。觉得B,E都对。 我是这样想的:通过探测盐分增加量,进而猜测海洋从零盐分到当前盐分含量的过程所需要的时间,从而估测大海的最大年龄。 选择B的原因是:流入大海的河流的含盐量要稳定,才能算得准确时间。因为如果一时期盐含量很低,但是某个时间含量却异常的高,这样子取平均值的话,有碍时间的估算。 至于E的原因是:如果因为biological 的原因而用掉了盐的话,那去的的盐分的量就比实际的减少,这样也有碍时间的测量。
