新GRE小短文阅读练习题六十四
Creating ceramic works of art requires heating them to high temper-atures.A test used to distinguish ancient ceramic works from recent
forgeries consists of heating a sample taken from the object and
measuring the amount of radiation given off.This process allows
one to determine how long ago the object was last heated.
The information in the passage, if correct, most strongly supports
which of the following?
AIf an ancient ceramic work of art has recently survived a hot
fire, the heat test cannot distinguish it from a recent forgery.
B If the heat test shows that a ceramic work of art was not made
recently, the work is not a forgery.
CTwo samples taken from the same ceramic work of art and
subjected to the heat test at different times will give different
indications of the time at which the work was made.
D Recent forgeries of ancient ceramic works cannot be distin-
guished from genuinely ancient works without the use of the
heat test.
E The temperatures to which samples are heated during the heat
test areclose to those to which ancient ceramic works of art
were originally heated.
