参考解析

解析:考查定语从句和短语的用法。此题用了base A on B的短语,意思是“把A建立在B的基础之上(以B作为A的根据)”。其实就是to base his arguments on sufficient grounds。句意为“教授几乎找不到支持这一新理论的充分理由”。因此,在定语从句中,用which指代先行词grounds,介词on移至which前面,即 base his arguments in favor of the new theory Oil sufficient grounds=on which to base his arguments in favor of the new theory。故选A。

共用题干Scientists working on a problem do not know and sometimes can't even guess what the final result will be.Late on Friday,8 November,1895,Professor Rontgen,a German physicist,was doing an experiment in his laboratory when he noticed something extraordinary.He had covered an electric bulb with black cardboard,and when he switched on the current he saw little dancing lights on his table.Now the bulb was completely covered;_________(46)?On the table there were some pieces of paper which had been covered with metal salts.It was on this paper that the lights were shining. Professor Rontgen took a piece of this paper and held it at a distance from the lamp.Between it and the lamp he placed a variety of objects,a book,a pack of cards,a piece of wood and a door key. __________(47).He called his wife into the laboratory and asked her to hold her hand between the lamp and a photographic plate._________(48),but she held up her hand for a quarter of an hour, and when the plate was developed there was a picture of the bones of her hand and of the ring on one finger.
