四、ACT阅读题型之对比题真题解析
Three decades later,Swedish chemist and Nobel laureate Svante Arrhenius agreed, but he took issue with part of Kelvin’s scenario. The fiery trauma of a meteoroid ejected from a planet or out of the solar system, he argued, would incinerate any cells it harbored. Instead of hitching rides within rocks, Arrhenius said, life could travel unaided. In 1903, he proposed that spores of plants and germs might drift through space propelled by the gentle pressure of starlight. He called this idea panspermia ( from the Greek for“seeds everywhere”).
Based on lines 35-40,the distinction between Kelvin’s scenario and Arrhenius’s argument is that:
A.instead of hitching rides within rocks, Arrhenius said life could travel unaided.
B.our ancestor cells must have been created within our own planetary system or in a nearby sister system bom at the same time.
C.life vagabonds through the cosmos.
D.if at the present instant no life existed upon this earth, one such stone falling upon it might lead to its becoming covered with vegetation.
解析:这道题对Kelvin和Arrhenius的观点进行了比较。与Kelvin的“生命是凭借一定的媒介来传播”的观点不同的是,Arrhenius认为“生命可以自行传播,不需要辅助”。对应原文中的答案是“Instead of hitching rides within rocks, Arrhenius said, life could travel unaided.”
