EX 18,主要是讲overutilization.
定位在最后一句：
Yet this rush into practical applications is itself quite understandable: public policy must continually be made, and policymakers rightly feel that even tentative findings and untested theories are better guides to decision-making than no findings and no theories at all.
老实说我也不大懂

EX-18 Social Science这篇文章第一段一个phononmenon, social sciences are less likely to take credit for society advancement. 并且给了简短的解释
第二段讲了social science被 overutilize的两个表现， game theory和practical value
E选项 这个observation就是上面两个表现

Ex-19
这篇文章全部是批评态度
fanciful = quixotic, whim, impractical
最后一句话 eradication of xxxx表示这种 theory/research已经被apply了
另外最后一句话不完整，Herculean task是什么没有交代。这应该是作者从GRE文章截取时候抽了一段。

formidable challenge = awing challenge, challenge做名词，是说 hard to overcome

EX 19 第八题：
定位：
This succession was based primarily on a series of deposits and events not directly related to glacial and interglacial periods, rather than on the more usual modern method of studying biological remains found in interglacial beds themselves interstratified within glacial deposits.

然后往下看，这才主句：
Yet this succession was forced willy-nilly onto the glaciated parts of Northern Europe, with hopes of ultimately piecing them together to provide a complete Pleistocene succession.

这文章基本就是说，科学家做了些不科学（more or less fanciful)的model, 并且整个Northern Europe都用了。。这里有大范围的意思，所以选A。。

你说的那个小负大正的pdf我也有，更多情况下是要读懂文章。。刚好这篇文章我有印象。。
难不成你是从CD那边下载的？如果是的话那是我的帖子。。。~。~

formidable challenge无法判断作者对于那些model的态度吧

另外Herculean Task是很难完成的任务的意思，来源于希腊神话
