GRE阅读36套里的一个问题求解

长乐未央yUID: 3683105

Volcanic rock that forms as fluid lava chills rapidly is
called pillow lava. This rapid chilling occurs when lava erupts
directly into water (or beneath ice) or when it flows across a
shoreline and into a body of water. While the term ―pillow lava‖
suggests a definite shape, in fact geologists disagree. Some
geologists argue that pillow lava is characterized by discrete,
ellipsoidal masses. Others describe pillow lava as a tangled
mass of cylindrical, interconnected flow lobes. Much of this
controversy probably results from unwarranted extrapolations
of the original configuration of pillow flows from twodimensional cross sections of eroded pillows in land
outcroppings. Virtually any cross section cut through a tangled
mass of interconnected flow lobes would give the appearance
of a pile of discrete ellipsoidal masses. Adequate threedimensional images of intact pillows are essential for defining
the true geometry of pillowed flows and thus ascertaining their
mode of origin. Indeed, the term ―pillow,‖ itself suggestive of
discrete masses, is probably a misnomer.


3. The author implies that the ―controversy‖ might be
resolved if
(A) geologists did not persist in using the term
―pillow‖
(B) geologists did not rely on potentially misleading
information
(C) geologists were more willing to confer directly
with one another
(D) two-dimensional cross sections of eroded
pillows were available
(E) existing pillows in land outcroppings were not
so badly eroded
