Although fullerenes--spherical molecules made entirely of carbon--were first found in the laboratory, they have since been found in nature, formed in fissures of the rare mineral shungite. Since laboratory synthesis of fullerenes requires distinctive conditions of temperature and pressure, this discovery should give geologists a test case for evaluating hypotheses about the state of the Earth's crust at the time these naturally occurring fullerenes were formed.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?
(A) Confirming that the shungite genuinely contained fullerenes took careful experimentation. (B) Some fullerenes have also been found on the remains of a small meteorite that collided with a spacecraft. (C) The mineral shungite itself contains large amounts of carbon, from which the fullerenes apparently formed. (D) The naturally occurring fullerenes are arranged in a previously unknown crystalline structure. (E) Shungite itself is formed only under distinctive conditions. 选D A C E是很明显的无关, 怎么考虑选项B 和D B说的是F可能是从外太空来的,所以我认为是不能表明地壳的情况的.所以选了B D怎么考虑呀

For years the beautiful Renaissance buildings in Palitito have been damaged by exhaust from the many tour buses that come to the city. There has been little parking space, so most buses have idled at the curb during each stop on their tour, and idling produces as much exhaust as driving. The city has now provided parking that accommodates a third of the tour buses, so damage to Palitito's buildings from the buses' exhaust will diminish significantly.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument?
(A) The exhaust from Palitito's few automobiles is not a significant threat to Palitito's buildings. (B) Palitito's Renaissance buildings are not threatened by pollution other than engine exhaust. (C) Tour buses typically spend less than one-quarter of the time they are in Palitito transporting passengers from one site to another. (D) More tourists come to Palitito by tour bus than by any other single means of transportation. (E) Some of the tour buses that are unable to find parking drive around Palitito while their passengers are visiting a site. 选C A B D很明显不对, C和E之间怎么考虑呀 望NN们指点一下~~~~ |
