A transformative scientific idea that emerged in the eighteenth century was the realization that slow, inexorable geological processes follow the basic laws of physics and chemistry. This seems (i)________conclusion in hindsight, but its implication—that geological processes in the distant past must have (ii)________these very same laws—was (iii)________geologists in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

A. an obvious D. followed G. evident to
B. a significant E. preceded H. overlooked by
C. a controversial F. entailed I. revolutionary for
选项
答案
A,D,I
解析
扫读整个题干。第一句说一个在18世纪出现的革命性的科学观点是认识到那些缓慢的、不可阻挡的地质过程是遵从基本的物理和化学规律的,这里对于科学观点的评价是revolutionary。后面紧接着说,现在回想起来这个科学观点似乎是________的(空格(i)),但是它的推论对于18世纪和19世纪的地理学家是________的(空格(iii))。该句中有逻辑连接词but,前后反义对应,因此空格(i)与空格(iii)反义对应。前面已经提到科学观点是革命性的,因此空格(iii)也填入表示“革命性的”的词即可,选I项revolutionary for(对……是革命性的)。空格(i)与空格(iii)反义对应,那么空格(i)就应该填入表示“没有革命性的,普通的”的词,选A项an obvious(显然的)。最后看空格(ii),破折号前的its指代的是前面说到的科学观点。科学观点的内容是“那些缓慢的、不可阻挡的地理过程是遵从基本的物理和化学规律的”,而它的推论(implication)是“很久以前的地理过程一定也________相同的规律”。一个观点与它的推论显然是同义对应的,因此空格(ii)填入表示“遵从”的词,选D项followed(遵从)。
