问题 Scientists once said that cosmology was the field where the ratio of theory to data was (i)________: there was an abundance of theories but almost no data. Recently, however, that ratio has flipped. A huge and ever-increasing amount of data has (ii)________all theories but one.
Blank (i)             Blank (ii)
A. completely unknown D. eliminated
B. nearly infinite    E. supported
C. always variable    F. clarified

选项

答案B,D

解析 先看空格(i),逻辑连接标志是冒号,表示前后同义重复。冒号前面说科学家曾经发现宇宙领域the ratio of theory to data(理论与数据的比值)是________,冒号后面说an abundance of theories but no data。既然分子(理论)极大、分母(数据)极小,那么这个比值必然是趋于无穷大,B项nearly infinite(几乎无穷大)最符合。再看空格(ii),现在这个比例发生了flip(翻转),既然发生了翻转,原来是趋于无限大,现在就应该是趋于零。因此后面应该体现分子减小、分母增加。后面已经说了有huge and ever-increasing amount of data(大量的、不断增加的数据),已经体现了分母的增加。空格应该表达“分子(理论)的数量减少”的词,因此选D项eliminate(排除)。
