借宝地问道旧题

问一下NO4-1-1-2的两道题,应该是你们早做的了哈
The evolution of sex ratios has produced, in most plants and animals with separate sexes, approximately equal numbers of males and females. Why should this be so? Two main kinds of answers have been offered. One is couched in terms of advantage to population. It is argued that the sex ratio will evolve so as to maximize the number of meetings between individuals of the opposite sex. This is essentially a “group selection” argument. The other, and in my view correct, type of answer was first put forward by Fisher in 1930. This “genetic” argument starts from the assumption that genes can influence the relative numbers of male and female offspring produced by an individual carrying the genes. That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted. Suppose that the population consisted mostly of females: then an individual who produced sons only would have more grandchildren. In contrast, if the population consisted mostly of males, it would pay to have daughters. If, however, the population consisted of equal numbers of males and females, sons and daughters would be equally valuable. Thus a one-to-one sex ratio is the only stable ratio; it is an “evolutionarily stable strategy.” Although Fisher wrote before the mathematical theory of games had been developed, his theory incorporates the essential feature of a game—that the best strategy to adopt depends on what others are doing.
Since Fisher’s time, it has been realized that genes can sometimes influence the chromosome or gamete in which they find themselves so that the gamete will be more likely to participate in fertilization. If such a gene occurs on a sex-determining (X or Y) chromosome, then highly aberrant sex ratios can occur. But more immediately relevant to game theory are the sex ratios in certain parasitic wasp species that have a large excess of females. In these species, fertilized eggs develop into females and unfertilized eggs into males. A female stores sperm and can determine the sex of each egg she lays by fertilizing it or leaving it unfertilized. By Fisher’s argument, it should still pay a female to produce equal numbers of sons and daughters. Hamilton, noting that the eggs develop within their host—the larva of another insect—and that the newly emerged adult wasps mate immediately and disperse, offered a remarkably cogent analysis. Since only one female usually lays eggs in a given larva, it would pay her to produce one male only, because this one male could fertilize all his sisters on emergence. Like Fisher, Hamilton looked for an evolutionarily stable strategy, but he went a step further in recognizing that he was looking for a strategy.
21.The author suggests that the work of Fisher and Hamilton was similar in that both scientists
(A) conducted their research at approximately the same time
(B) sought to manipulate the sex ratios of some of the animals they studied
(C) sought an explanation of why certain sex ratios exist and remain stable
(D) studied game theory, thereby providing important groundwork for the later development of strategy theory
(E) studied reproduction in the same animal species
22.It can be inferred from the passage that the author considers Fisher’s work to be
(A) fallacious and unprofessional
(B) definitive and thorough
(C) inaccurate but popular, compared with Hamilton’s work
(D) admirable, but not as up-to-date as Hamilton’s work
(E) accurate, but trivial compared with Hamilton’s work

21题选C,没意见,可是E说的也对啊,人家俩人确实研究的是一个物种呢(我就是看这个选项直白就选了)
22题选D 我不明白为什么不能选E。

谢谢

短文较简单,不到10分钟。错17。
17题,错选A,定位最后两句,文中说 when..., new technical elements had to be adopted to maintain the intellectual element in art. Such were linear perspective and anatomy. 既然linear perspective and anatomy不去影响,因为必须有new的出现,所以就只能由other去影响了。但考试时没理解到这程度,一看A跟文中的句子差不多就 选了。linear perspective and anatomy前面有个Such were,多么狡猾的家伙啊,是不是和such as的意思一样呢?那么就该选B啦。。。
存在一个因果问题,就是因为craftmanship不再起着主导作用,所以才出现了新技术,这样linear perspective...产生了,这个不能反过来推,不能说linear perspective没出现,所以craftmanship继续起着主导作用。重要的是看linear perspective and anatomy充当得是什么作用,是充当new technical的作用。
20题是讲artistic inspiration的control的问题。应该定位在“but philosophers had always assumed it must be controlled by law and by the intellectual power of putting things into harmonious order”这句。C选项上它的改写,rational order对应harmonious order, seemed to discipline对应be controlled

长文的结构其实还是比较清晰的说,开头就讲了计算机,接着说物理学家比较实际,最后再说数学家和物理学家相对了,比较精确也比较喜欢把问题简单化,最后还说数学家的这种习惯可能还会带来负面的影响。全文对比数学家和屋里学家的研究方法问题。用了20分钟,错22,26,27。
22,由skeptical定位到L18,答案A就是2段首句的改写;
24,由danger定位到L46,像weak, danger,这样的词读文章的时候一定要标记!!
27题我定位错了,用核心词定位在了2段末句。大家是怎么定到2段首句的??

no5-3-2
In eighteenth-century France and England, re-
formers rallied around egalitarian ideals, but few
reformers advocated higher education for women.
Although the public decried women’s lack of educa-
tion, it did not encourage learning for its own sake for
women. In spite of the general prejudice against
learned women, there was one place where women
could exhibit their erudition: the literary salon. Many
writers have defined the woman’s role in the salon as
that of an intelligent hostess, but the salon had more
than a social function for women. It was an informal
university, too, where women exchanged ideas with
educated persons, read their own works and heard
those of others, and received and gave criticism.
In the 1750’s, when salons were firmly established
in France, some English women, who called
themselves “Bluestocking,” followed the example of
the salonnieres (French salon hostesses) and formed
their own salons. Most Bluestockings did not wish to
mirror the salonnieres; they simply desired to adapt a
proven formula to their own purpose—the elevation
of women’s status through moral and intellectual
training. Differences in social orientation and back-
ground can account perhaps for differences in the
nature of French and English salons. The French
salon incorporated aristocratic attitudes that exalted
courtly pleasure and emphasized artistic accomplish-
ments. The English Bluestockings, originating from a
more modest background, emphasized learning and
work over pleasure. Accustomed to the regimented life
of court circles, salonnieres tended toward formality
in their salons. The English women, though somewhat
puritanical, were more casual in their approach.
At first, the Bluestockings did imitate the
salonnieres by including men in their circles. However,
as they gained cohesion, the Bluestockings came to
regard themselves as a women’s group and to possess
a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres,
who remained isolated from one another by the
primacy each held in her own salon. In an atmosphere
of mutual support, the Bluestockings went beyond the
salon experience. They traveled, studied, worked,
wrote for publication, and by their activities chal-
lenged the stereotype of the passive woman. Although
the salonnieres were aware of sexual inequality, the
narrow boundaries of their world kept their intel-
lectual pursuits within conventional limits. Many
salonnieres, in fact, camouflaged their nontraditional
activities behind the role of hostess and deferred to
men in public.
Though the Bluestockings were trailblazers when
compared with the salonnieres, they were not femi-
nists. They were too traditional, too hemmed in by
their generation to demand social and political rights.
Nonetheless, in their desire for education, their will-
ingness to go beyond the confines of the salon in
pursuing their interests, and their championing of
unity among women, the Bluestockings began the
process of questioning women’s role in society.

17. Which of the following best states the central
   idea of the passage?
  (A) The establishment of literary salons was a
  response to reformers’ demands for social
  rights for women.
  (B) Literary salons were originally intended to
  be a meeting ground for intellectuals of
  both sexes, but eventually became social
  gatherings with little educational value.
  (C) In England, as in France, the general pre-
      judice against higher education for women
  limited women’s function in literary
  salons to a primarily social one.
  (D) The literary salons provided a sounding
  board for French and English women who
  called for access to all the educa-
  tional institutions in their societies on an
  equal basis with men.
  (E) For women, who did not have access to
  higher education as men did, literary
  salons provided an alternate route to
  learning and a challenge to some of
  society’s basic assumptions about
  women.

18. According to the passage, a significant distinc-
   tion between the salonnieres and Bluestockings
   was in the way each group regarded which of the
   following?
  (A) The value of acquiring knowledge
  (B) The role of pleasure in the activities of the
  literary salon
  (C) The desirability of a complete break with
  societal traditions
  (D) The inclusion of women of different back-
  grounds in the salons
  (E) The attainment of full social and political
  equality with men

19. The author refers to differences in social back-
   ground between salonnieres and Bluestockings
   in order to do which of the following?
  (A) Criticize the view that their choices of
  activities were significantly influenced by
  male salon members
  (B) Discuss the reasons why literary salons in
  France were established before those in
  England
  (C) Question the importance of the
  Bluestockings in shaping public attitudes
  toward educated women
  (D) Refute the argument that the French salons
  had little influence over the direction the
  English salons took
  (E) Explain the differences in atmosphere and
  style in their salons

20. Which of the following statements is most
   compatible with the principles of the salonnieres
   as described in the passage?
  (A) Women should aspire to be not only
  educated but independent as well.
  (B) The duty of the educated women is to
  provide an active political model for less
  educated women.
  (C) Devotion to pleasure and art is justified in
  itself.
  (D) Substance, rather than form, is the most
  important consideration in holding a
  literary salon.
  (E) Men should be excluded from groups of
  women’s rights supporters.

21. The passage suggests that the Bluestockings
   might have had a more significant impact on
   society if it had not been for which of the
   following?
  (A) Competitiveness among their salons
  (B) Their emphasis on individualism
  (C) The limited scope of their activities
  (D) Their acceptance of the French salon as a
  model for their own salons
  (E) Their unwillingness to defy aggressively the
  conventions of their age

22. Which of the following could best be considered
   a twentieth-century counterpart of an eighteenth
   century literary salon as it is described in the
   passage?
(A) A social sorority
(B) A community center
  (C) A lecture course on art
  (D) A humanities study group
  (E) An association of moral reformers

23. To an assertion that Bluestockings were fem-
   inists, the author would most probably respond
   with which of the following?
  (A) Admitted uncertainty
  (B) Qualified disagreement
  (C) Unquestioning approval
  (D) Complete indifference
  (E) Strong disparagement

24. Which of the following titles best describes the
   content of the passage?
  (A) Eighteenth-Century Egalitarianism
  (B) Feminists of the Eighteenth Century
  (C) Eighteenth-Century Precursors of Feminism
  (D) Intellectual Life in the Eighteenth Century
  (E) Female Education Reform in the Eighteenth
Century

        When the same parameters and quantitative theory
are used to analyze both termite colonies and troops
of rhesus macaques, we will have a unified science of
sociobiology. Can this ever really happen? As my own
studies have advanced, I have been increasingly im-
pressed with the functional similarities between insect
and vertebrate societies and less so with the structural
differences that seem, at first glance, to constitute such
an immense gulf between them. Consider for a moment
termites and macaques. Both form cooperative groups
that occupy territories. In both kinds of society there
is a well-marked division of labor. Members of both
groups communicate to each other hunger, alarm,
hostility, caste status or rank, and reproductive status.
From the specialist’s point of view, this comparison
may at first seem facile—or worse. But it is out of
such deliberate oversimplification that the beginnings
of a general theory are made.

25. Which of the following best summarizes the
   author’s main point?
  (A) Oversimplified comparisons of animal
  societies could diminish the likelihood of
  developing a unified science of
  sociobiology.
  (B) Understanding the ways in which animals as
       different as termites and rhesus macaques
  resemble each other requires train in
  both biology and sociology.
  (C) Most animals organize themselves into
  societies that exhibit patterns of group
  behavior similar to those of human
  societies.
  (D) Animals as different as termites and rhesus
  macaques follow certain similar and
  predictable patterns of behavior.
  (E) A study of the similarities between insect
  and vertebrate societies could provide the
  basis for a unified science of sociobiology.

26. The author’s attitude toward the possibility of a
   unified theory in sociobiology is best described
   as which of the following?
  (A) Guarded optimism       
  (B) Unqualified enthusiasm
  (C) Objective indifference
  (D) Resignation                (E) Dissatisfaction

27. In discussing insect and vertebrate societies, the
   author suggests which of the following?
  (A) A distinguishing characteristic of most
  insect and vertebrate societies is a well-
  marked division of labor.
  (B) The caste structure of insect societies is
  similar to that of vertebrate societies.
  (C) Most insect and vertebrate societies form
  cooperative groups in order to occupy
  territory.
  (D) The means of communication among
  members of insect societies is similar to that
  among members of vertebrate societies.
  (E) There are significant structural differences
  between insect and vertebrate societies.

长文很顺。不到20分钟,错18,21,22,24。(里面有两个马虎错的,着急啦!呜呜。。。。)ST:L5 In spite of....there was on place women could...the literary salon.
18题:其实定位就在第二段的最后了,比较英国和法国的两个S对pleasure和work。当时没有看出来是两部分不同,又看到B后面有litetal traditions.所以就没有选它。(看文章没有仔细!)
21取非题,定位末段。Age=generation.英国的不是女权主义者,是因为她们太传统,太考虑到了自己的社会和政治地位,就是答案E说的不愿意否定传统 | F*O1x {:j&E-Y
22题核心词是counterpart,即,对literary 取非,在选项里找,就是道德了吧!
24,我选了E,答案却是C。24,定位在最后一句。因为没看出来  是     的意思。
总结,对文章理解出现偏差,没注意这两个组织的本质。原因是读原文是没留意应该重视的部分,可能是略读的取舍、轻重的问题。 24跟zyh6230 一样错选了E,原因是看到L52的"they were not feminists"就轻易把带有Feminism的BC排除,选出E,FT~~~

  A mysterious phenomenon is the ability of
over-water migrants to travel on course. Birds,
bees, and other species can keep track of time
without any sensory cues from the outside
world, and such “biological clocks” clearly con-
tribute to their “compass sense.” For example,
they can use the position of the Sun or stars,
along with the time of day, to find north. But
compass sense alone cannot explain how birds
navigate the ocean: after a flock traveling east is
blown far south by a storm, it will assume the
proper northeasterly course to compensate. Per-
haps, some scientists thought, migrants deter-
mine their geographic position on Earth by ce-
lestial navigation, almost as human navigators
use stars and planets, but this would demand of
the animals a fantastic map sense. Researchers
now know that some species have a magnetic
sense, which might allow migrants to determine
their geographic location by detecting variations
in the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field.

17. The main idea of the passage is that
  (A) migration over land requires a simpler
  explanation than migration over water
  does
  (B) the means by which animals migrate over
  water are complex and only partly
  understood
  (C) the ability of migrant animals to keep track
  of time is related to their magnetic sense
  (D) knowledge of geographic location is
  essential to migrants with little or no
  compass sense
  (E) explanations of how animals migrate tend to
  replace, rather than build on, one
  another

18. It can be inferred from the passage that if the
   flock of birds described in lines 8-12 were
  navigating by compass sense alone, they would, after
  the storm, fly
  (A) east        (B) north          (C) northwest
  (D) south        (E) southeast

19.In maintaining that migrating animals would
  need “a fantastic map sense” (line 17) to
  determine their geographic position by celestial
  navigation, the author intends to
   express
  (A) admiration for the ability of the migrants
  (B) skepticism about celestial navigation as an
  explanation
  (C) certainly that the phenomenon of migration
  will remain mysterious
  (D) interest in a new method of accounting for
  over-water migration
  (E) surprise that animals apparently navigate in
  much the same way that human beings do

20. Of the following descriptions of migrating
   animals, which most strongly suggests that the
   animals are depending on magnetic cues to orient
   themselves?
  (A) Pigeons can properly readjust their course
  even when flying long distances through
  exceedingly dense fogs.
  (B) Bison are able to reach their destination by
  passing through a landscape that has
  been partially altered by a recent fire.
  (C) Elephants are able to find grounds that
  some members of the herd have never seen
  before.
  (D) Swallows are able to return to a given spot
  at the same time every year.
  (E) Monarch butterflies coming from different
  parts of North America are able to arrive
  at the same location each winter.

   Roger Rosenblatt’s book Black Fiction, in attempt
ing to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria
to its subject, successfully alters the approach taken by
most previous studies. As Rosenblatt notes, criticism
of Black writing has often served as a pretext for ex-
pounding on Black history. Addison Gayle’s recent
work, for example, judges the value of Black fiction
by overtly political standards, rating each work ac-
cording to the notions of Black identity which it
propounds.
Although fiction assuredly springs from political
circumstances, its authors react to those circumstances
in ways other than ideological, and talking about
novels and stories primarily as instruments of idology
circumvents much of the fictional enterprise. Rosen-
blatt’s literary analysis discloses affinities and con-
nections among works of Black fiction which solely
political studies have overlooked or ignored.
Writing acceptable criticism of Black fiction, how-
ever, presupposes giving satisfactory answers to a
number of questions. First of all, is there a sufficient
reason, other than the racial identity of the authors, to
group together works by Black authors? Second, how
does Black fiction make itself distinct from other
modern fiction with which it is largely contempora-
neous? Rosenblatt shows that Black fiction constitutes
a distinct body of writing that has an identifiable,
coherent literary tradition. Looking at novels written
by Blacks over the last eighty years, he discovers re-
curring concerns and designs independent of chronol-
ogy. These structures are thematic, and they spring,
not surprisingly, from the central fact that the Black
characters in these novels exist in a predominantly
White culture, whether they try to conform to that
culture of rebel against it.
Black Fiction does leave some aesthetic questions
open. Rosenblatt’s thematic analysis permits consider-
able objectivity; he even explicitly states that it is not
his intention to judge the merit of the various works—
yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an
attempt to appraise might have led to interesting
results. For instance, some of the novels appear to be
structurally diffuse. Is this a defect, or are the authors
working out of, or trying to forge, a different kind of
aesthetic? In addition, the style of some Black novels,
like Jean Toomer’s Cane, verges on expressionism or
surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint
to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against
which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usually con-
veyed by more naturalistic modes of expression?
In spite of such omissions, what Rosenblatt does
include in his discussion makes for an astute and
worthwhile study. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety
of novels, bringing to our attention in the process
some fascinating and little-known works like James
Weldon Johnson’s Autobiography of an Ex-Colored
Man. Its argument is tightly constructed, and its
forthright, lucid style exemplifies levelheaded and
penetrating criticism.

21. The author of the passage objects to criticism of
   Black fiction like that by Addison Gayle
   because it
  (A) emphasizes purely literary aspects of such
  fiction
  (B) misinterprets the ideological content of
  such fiction
  (C) misunderstands the notions of Black

The molecules of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s
atmosphere affect the heat balance of the Earth by
acting as a one-way screen. Although these molecules
allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of
the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass
through, they absorb some of the longer-wavelength,
infrared emissions radiated from the Earth’s surface,
radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back
into space. For the Earth to maintain a constant aver-
age temperature, such emissions from the planet must
balance incoming solar radiation. If there were no car-bon dioxide in the atmosphere, heat would escape
from the Earth much more easily. The surface temper-
ature would be so much lower that the oceans might
be a solid mass of ice.
Today, however, the potential problem is too much
carbon dioxide. The burning of fossil fuels and the
clearing of forests have increased atmospheric carbon
dioxide by about 15 percent in the last hundred years,
and we continue to add carbon dioxide to the atmo-
sphere. Could the increase in carbon dioxide cause a
global rise in average temperature, and could such a
rise have serious consequences for human society?
Mathematical models that allow us to calculate the
rise in temperature as a function of the increase
indicate that the answer is probably yes.
Under present conditions a temperature-of--18℃
can be observed at an altitude of 5 to 6 kilometers
above the Earth. Below this altitude (called the
radiating level), the temperature increases by about
6℃ per kilometer approaching the Earth’s surface,
where the average temperature is about 15℃. An
increase in the amount of carbon dioxide means that
there are more molecules of carbon dioxide to absorb
infrared radiation. As the capacity of the atmosphere
to absorb infrared radiation increases, the radiating
level and the temperature of the surface must rise.
One mathematical model predicts that doubling the
atmospheric carbon dioxide would raise the global
mean surface temperature by 2.5℃. This model
assumes that the atmosphere’s relative humidity
remains constant and the temperature decreases with
altitude at a rate of 6.5℃ per kilometer. The assump-
tion of constant relative humidity is important,
because water vapor in the atmosphere is another effi-
cient absorber of radiation at infrared wavelengths.
Because warm air can hold more moisture than cool
air, the relative humidity will be constant only if the
amount of water vapor in the atmosphere increases as
the temperature rises. Therefore, more infrared radia-
tion would be absorbed and reradiated back to the
Earth’s surface. The resultant warming at the surface
could be expected to melt snow and ice, reducing the
Earth’s reflectivity. More solar radiation would then
be absorbed, leading to a further increase in tem-
perature.

        Some modern anthropologists hold that biological
evolution has shaped not only human morphology but
also human behavior. The role those anthropologists
ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of
human behavior but one of imposing constraints—
ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that “come natu-
rally” in archetypal situations in any culture. Our
“frailties” –emotions and motives such as rage, fear,
greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love—may be a very mixed
assortment, but they share at least one immediate
quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them. And
thus they give us our sense of constraints.
        Unhappily, some of those frailties—our need for
ever-increasing security among them—are presently
maladaptive. Yet beneath the overlay of cultural
detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction,
and therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes.
We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adap-
adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they
guide us now. And we might then begin to resist their
pressure.

24. The primary purpose of the passage is to present
  (A) a position on the foundations of human
  behavior and on what those foundations
  imply
  (B) a theory outlining the parallel development
  of human morphology and of human
  behavior
  (C) a diagnostic test for separating biologically
  determined behavior patterns from
  culture-specific detail
  (D) a practical method for resisting the
  pressures of biologically determined
  drives
  (E) an overview of those human emotions and
  motives that impose constraints on
  human behavior

25. The author implies that control to any extent
   over the “frailties” that constrain our behavior is
   thought to presuppose
  (A) that those frailties are recognized as
  currently beneficial and adaptive
  (B) that there is little or no overlay of cultural
  detail that masks their true nature
  (C) that there are cultures in which those
  frailties do not “come naturally” and from
  which such control can be learned
  (D) a full understanding of why those frailties
  evolved and of how they function now
  (E) a thorough grasp of the principle that
  cultural detail in human behavior can
  differ arbitrarily from society to society

26. Which of the following most probably provides
   an appropriate analogy from human morphol-
   ogy for the “details” versus “constraints”
   distinction made in the passage in relation to
   human behavior?
  (A) The ability of most people to see all the
  colors of the visible spectrum as against
  most people’s inability to name any but
  the imary colors
  (B) The ability of even the least fortunate
  people to show compassion as against
  people’s inability to mask their feelings
  completely
  (C) The ability of some people to dive to great
  depths as against most people’s inability
  to swim long distances
  (D) The psychological profile of those people
  who are able to delay gratification as
  against people’s inability to control their
  lives completely
  (E) The greater lung capacity of mountain
  peoples that helps them live in oxygen-poor
  air as against people’s inability to fly
  without special apparatus

27. It can be inferred that in his discussion of
   maladaptive frailties the author assumes that
  (A) evolution does not favor the emergence of
  adaptive characteristics over the emergence
  of maladaptive ones
  (B) any structure or behavior not positively
  adaptive is regarded as transitory in
  evolutionary theory
  (C) maladaptive characteristics, once fixed,
  make the emergence of other maladaptive
  characteristics more likely
  (D) the designation of a characteristic as being
  maladaptive must always remain highly
  tentative
  (E) changes in the total human environment can
  outpace evolutionary change

whether the languages of the ancient American
peoples were used for expressing abstract universal
concepts can be clearly answered in the case of
Nahuatl. Nahuatl, like Greek and German, is a lan-
guage that allows the formation of extensive com-
pounds. By the combination of radicals or semantic
elements, single compound words can express com-
plex conceptual relations, often of an abstract uni-
versal character.
The tlamatinime (“those who know”) were able to
use this rich stock of abstract terms to express the
nuances of their thought. They also availed themselves
of other forms of expression with metaphorical mean-
ing, some probably original, some derived from Toltec
coinages. Of these forms the most characteristic in
Nahuatl is the juxtaposition of two words that,
because they are synonyms, associated terms, or even
contraries, complement each other to evoke one single
idea. Used as metaphor, the juxtaposed terms connote
specific or essential traits of the being they refer to,
introducing a mode of poetry as an almost habitual
form of expression.

17. A main purpose of the passage is to
  (A) delineate the function of the tlamatinime in
   Nahuatl society
  (B) explain the abstract philosophy of the
   Nahuatl thinkers
  (C) argue against a theory of poetic expression
   by citing evidence about the Nahuatl
  (D) explore the rich metaphorical heritage the
   Nahuatl received from the Toltecs
  (E) describe some conceptual and aesthetic
   resources of the Nahuatl language

18. According to the passage, some abstract
   universal ideas can be expressed in Hahuatl by
  (A) taking away from a word any reference to
   particular instances
  (B) removing a word from its associations with
   other words
  (C) giving a word a new and opposite meaning
  (D) putting various meaningful elements
   together in one word
  (E) turning each word of a phrase into a poetic
   metaphor

19. It can be inferred solely from the information
   in the passage that
  (A) there are many languages that, like Greek
   or German, allow extensive compounding
  (B) all abstract universal ideas are ideas of
   complex relations
  (C) some record or evidence of the thought of
   the tlamatinime exists
  (D) metaphors are always used in Nahuatl to
   express abstract conceptual relationships
  (E) the abstract terms of the Nahuatl language
   are habitually used in poetry

Many theories have been formulated to explain the
role of grazers such as zooplankton in controlling the
amount of planktonic algae (phytoplankton) in lakes.
The first theories of such grazer control were merely
based on observations of negative correlations
between algal and zooplankton numbers. A low num-
ber of algal cells in the presence of a high number of
grazers suggested, but did not prove, that the grazers
had removed most of the algae. The converse obser-
vation, of the absence of grazers in areas of high
phytoplankton concentration, led Hardy to propose
his principle of animal exclusion, which hypothe-
sized that phytoplankton produced a repellent that
excluded grazers from regions of high phytoplankton
concentration. This was the first suggestion of algal
defenses against grazing.
Perhaps the fact that many of these first studies
considered only algae of a size that could be collected
in a net (net phytoplankton), a practice that over-
looked the smaller phytoplankton (nannoplankton)
that we now know grazers are most likely to feed on,
led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers in subse-
quent research. Increasingly, as in the individual
studies of Lund, Round, and Reynolds, researchers
began to stress the importance of environmental
factors such as temperature, light, and water move-
ments in controlling algal numbers. These environ-
mental factors were amenable to field monitoring and
to simulation in the laboratory. Grazing was believed
to have some effect on algal numbers, especially after
phytoplankton growth rates declined at the end of
bloom periods, but grazing was considered a minor
component of models that predicted algal population
dynamics.
The potential magnitude of grazing pressure on
freshwater phytoplankton has only recently been
determined empirically. Studies by Hargrave and
Geen estimated natural community grazing rates by
measuring feeding rates of individual zooplankton
species in the laboratory and then computing com-
munity grazing rates for field conditions using the
known population density of grazers. The high esti-
mates of grazing pressure postulated by these
researchers were not fully accepted, however, until the
grazing rates of zooplankton were determined directly
in the field, by means of new experimental techniques.
Using a specially prepared feeding chamber, Haney
was able to record zooplankton grazing rates in
natural field conditions. In the periods of peak
zooplankton abundance, that is, in the late spring and
in the summer, Haney recorded maximum daily com-
munity grazing rates, for nutrient-poor lakes and bog
lakes, respectively, of 6.6 percent and 114 percent of
daily phytoplankton production. Cladocerans had
higher grazing rates than copepods, usually account-
ing for 80 percent of the community grazing rate.
These rates varied seasonally, reaching the lowest
point in the winter and early spring. Haney’s thorough
research provides convincing field evidence that
grazers can exert significant pressure on phyto-
plankton population.

20. The author most likely mentions Hardy’s
   principle of animal exclusion in order to
  (A) give an example of one theory about the
   interaction of grazers and phytoplankton
  (B) defend the first theory of algal defenses
   against grazing
  (C) support the contention that phytoplankton
   numbers are controlled primarily by
   environmental factors
  (D) demonstrate the superiority of laboratory
   studies of zooplankton feeding rates to other
   kinds of studies of such rates
  (E) refute researchers who believed that low
   numbers of phytoplankton indicated the
   grazing effect of low numbers of
   zooplankton

21. It can be inferred from the passage that the
   “first theories” of grazer control mentioned in
   line 4 would have been more convincing if
   researchers had been able to
  (A) observe high phytoplankton numbers under
   natural lake conditions
  (B) discover negative correlations between
   algae and zooplankton numbers from their
   field research
  (C) understand the central importance of
   environmental factors in controlling the
   growth rates of phytoplankton
  (D) make verifiable correlations of cause and
   effect between zooplankton and
   phytoplankton numbers
  (E) invent laboratory techniques that would
  have allowed them to bypass their field
  research concerning grazer control

22. Which of the following, if true, would call into
   question Hardy’s principle of animal
   exclusion?
  (A) Zooplankton are not the only organisms
   that are affected by phytoplankton
   repellents.
  (B) Zooplankton exclusion is unrelated to
   phytoplankton population density.
  (C) Zooplankton population density is higher
   during some parts of the year than during
   others.
  (D) Net phytoplankton are more likely to
   exclude zooplankton than are
   nannoplankton.
  (E) Phytoplankton numbers can be strongly
   affected by environmetnal factors.

23. The author would be likely to agree with
   which of the following statements regarding
   the pressure of grazers on phytoplankton
   numbers?
I. Grazing pressure can vary according to
       the individual type of zooplankton.
        II. Grazing pressure can be lower in nutrient-
   poor lakes than in bog lakes.
   III. Grazing tends to exert about the same
   pressure as does temperature.
  (A) I only        (B) III only        (C) I and II only
  (D) II and III only        (E) I, II, and III

24. The passage supplies information to indicate
   that Hargrave and Geen’s conclusion regarding
the grazing pressure exerted by zooplankton on
phytoplankton numbers was most similar to the
conclusion regarding grazing pressure reached
by which of the following researchers?
  (A) Hardy                (B) Lund                  (C) Round       
  (D) Reynolds        (E) Haney

25. It can be inferred from the passage that one way
in which many of the early researchers on grazer
control could have improved their data would
have been to
  (A) emphasize the effects of temperature, rather
   than of light, on phytoplankton
  (B) disregard nannoplankton in their analysis of
   phytoplankton numbers
  (C) collect phytoplankton of all sizes before
   analyzing the extent of phytoplankton
   concentration
  (D) recognize that phytoplankton other than net
   phytoplankton could be collected in a net
  (E) understand the crucial significance of net
   phytoplankton in the diet of zooplankton

26. According to the passage, Hargrave and Geen
   did which of the following in their experiments?
  (A) They compared the grazing rates of
   individual zooplankton species in the
   laboratory with the natural grazing rates
   of these species.
  (B) The hypothesized about the population
   density of grazers in natural habitats by
   using data concerning the population
   density of grazers in the laboratory.
  (C) They estimated the community grazing rates
of zooplankton in the laboratory by using
data concerning the natural community
grazing rates of zooplankton.
  (D) They estimated the natural community
    grazing rates of zooplankton by using
data concerning the known population
density of phytoplankton.
  (E) They estimated the natural community
   grazing rates of zooplankton by using
   laboratory data concerning the grazing
   rates of individual zooplankton species.
27. Which of the following is a true statement about
the zooplankton numbers and zooplankton
grazing rates observed in Haney’s experiments?
  (A) While zooplankton numbers began to
   decline in August, zooplankton grazing
   rates began to increase.
  (B) Although zooplankton numbers were high
   in May, grazing rates did not become
high until January.
  (C) Both zooplankton numbers and grazing
   rates were higher in December than in
   November.
  (D) Both zooplankton numbers and grazing
       rates were lower in March than in June.
  (E) Both zooplankton numbers and grazing
   rates were highest in February.

hydrogeology is a science dealing with the
properties, distribution, and circulation of water
on the surface of the land, in the soil and under-
lying rocks, and in the atmosphere. The hydro-
(5) logic cycle, a major topic in this science, is the
complete cycle of phenomena through which
water passes, beginning as atmospheric water
vapor, passing into liquid and solid form as pre-
cipitation, thence along and into the ground
(10) surface, and finally again returning to the form
of atmospheric water vapor by means of evap-
oration and transpiration.
The term “geohydrology” is sometimes
erroneously used as a synonym for “hydro-
(15) geology.” Geohydrology is concerned with
underground water. There are many formations
that contain water but are not part of the hydro-
logic cycle because of geologic changes that have
isolated them underground. These systems are
(20) properly termed geohydrologic but not hydro-
geologic. Only when a system possesses natural
or artificial boundaries that associate the water
within it with the hydrologic cycle may the entire
system properly be termed hydrogeologic.

17. The author’s primary purpose is most
   probably to
  (A) present a hypothesis
  (B) refute an argument
  (C) correct a misconception
  (D) predict an occurrence
  (E) describe an enigma

18. It can be inferred that which of the following
   is most likely to be the subject of study by a
   geohydrologist?
  (A) Soft, porous rock being worn away by a
   waterfall
  (B) Water depositing minerals on the banks of a
   gorge through which the water runs
  (C) The trapping of water in a sealed
   underground rock cavern through the action
   of an earthquake
  (D) Water becoming unfit to drink through the
   release of pollutants into it from a
   manufacturing plant
  (E) The changing course of a river channel as
   the action of the water wears away the rocks
   past which the river flows

19. The author refers to “many formations” (line 16)
   primarily in order to
  (A) clarify a distinction       
  (B) introduce a subject
  (C) draw an analogy
  (D) emphasize a similarity
  (E) resolve a conflict

The historian Frederick J. Turner wrote in
the 1890’s that the agrarian discontent that had
been developing steadily in the United States
since about 1870 had been precipitated by the
(5) closing of the internal frontier--that is, the
depletion of available new land needed for
further expansion of the American farming
system. Not only was Turner’s thesis influential
at the time, it was later adopted and elaborated
(10) by other scholars, such as John D. Hicks in The
Populist Revolt (1931). Actually, however, new
lands were taken up for farming in the United
States throughout and beyond the nineteenth
century. In the 1890’s, when agrarian discontent
(15) had become most acute, 1,100,000 new farms
were settled, which was 500,000 more than had
been settled during the previous decade. After
1890, under the terms of the Homestead Act and
its successors, more new land was taken up for
(20) farming than had been taken up for this purpose
in the United States up until that time. It is true
that a high proportion of the newly farmed land
was suitable only for grazing and dry farming,
but agricultural practices had become suffi-
(25) ciently advanced to make it possible to increase
the profitability of farming by utilizing even
these relatively barren lands.
The emphasis given by both scholars and
statesmen to the presumed disappearance of the
(30) American frontier helped to obscure the great
importance of changes in the conditions and
consequences of international trade that oc-
curred during the second half of the nineteenth
century. In 1869 the Suez Canal was opened and
(35) the first transcontinental railroad in the United
States was completed. An extensive network of
telegraph and telephone communications was
spun: Europe was connected by submarine
cable with the United States in 1866 and with
(40) South America in 1874. By about 1870 improve-
ments in agricultural technology made possible
the full exploitation of areas that were most
suitable for extensive farming on a mechanized
basis. Huge tracts of land were being settled and
(45) farmed in Argentina, Australia, Canada, and in
the American West, and these areas were joined
with one another and with the countries of
Europe into an interdependent market system.
As a consequence, agrarian depressions no
(50) longer were local or national in scope, and they
struck several nations whose internal frontiers
had not vanished or were not about to vanish.
Between the early 1870’s and the 1890’s, the
mounting agrarian discontent in America paral-
(55) leled the almost uninterrupted decline in the
prices of American agricultural products on
foreign markets. Those staple-growing farmers
in the United States who exhibited the greatest
discontent were those who had become most
(60) dependent on foreign markets for the sale of
their products. Insofar as Americans had been
deterred from taking up new land for farming, it
was because market conditions had made this
period a perilous time in which to do so.

20. The author is primarily concerned with
  (A) showing that a certain interpretation is
   better supported by the evidence than is
   an alternative explanation
  (B) developing an alternative interpretation by
   using sources of evidence that formerly
   had been unavailable
  (C) questioning the accuracy of the evidence
   that most scholars have used to counter
   the author’s own interpretation
  (D) reviewing the evidence that formerly had
   been thought to obscure a valid
   interpretation
  (E) presenting evidence in support of a
   controversial version of an earlier
   interpretation.

21. According to the author, changes in the
   conditions of international trade resulted in an
  (A) underestimation of the amount of new land
   that was being famed in the United States
  (B) underutilization of relatively small but rich
   plots of land
  (C) overexpansion of the world transportation
   network for shipping agricultural
   products
  (D) extension of agrarian depressions beyond
           national boundaries
  (E) emphasis on the importance of market
   forces in determining the prices of
   agricultural products

22. The author implies that the change in the state
   of the American farmer’s morale during the
   latter part of the nineteenth century was
   traceable to the American farmer’s increasing
   perception that the
  (A) costs of cultivating the land were
   prohibitive within the United States
  (B) development of the first transcontinental
   railroad in the United States occurred at the
   expense of the American farmer
  (C) American farming system was about to run
   out of the new farmland that was
   required for its expansion.
  (D) prices of American agricultural products
   were deteriorating especially rapidly on
   domestic markets
  (E) proceeds from the sales of American
   agricultural products on foreign markets were
   unsatisfactory

23. According to the passage, which of the following
   occurred prior to 1890?
  (A) Frederick J. Turner’s thesis regarding the
   American frontier became influential.
  (B) The Homestead Act led to an increase in
the amount of newly farmed land in the
   United States.
  (C) The manufacturers of technologically
   advanced agricultural machinery rapidly
   increased their marketing efforts.
  (D) Direct lines of communication were
   constructed between the United States
   and South America.
  (E) Technological advances made it fruitful to
   farm extensively on a mechanized basis.

24. The author implies that, after certain territories
   and countries had been joined into an
   interdependent market system in the
   nineteenth century, agrarian depressions
   within that system
(A)        spread to several nations, excluding those in
which the internal frontier remained open
  (B) manifested themselves in several nations,
   including those in which new land
   remained available for farming
  (C) slowed down the pace of new technological
   developments in international
   communications and transportation
  (D) affected the local and national prices of the
   nonagricultural products of several nations
  (E) encouraged several nations to sell more of
   their agricultural products on foreign
   markets

25. The author provides information concerning
   newly farmed lands in the United States (lines
   11-27) as evidence in direct support of which
   of the following?
  (A) A proposal by Frederick J. Turner that was
   later disputed by John D. Hicks
  (B) An elaboration by John D. Hicks of a thesis
   that formerly had been questioned by
   Frederick J. Turner
  (C) The established view that was disputed by
   those scholars who adopted the thesis of
   Frederick J. Turner
  (D) The thesis that important changes occurred
   in the nature of international trade during
   the second half of the nineteenth century
  (E) The view that the American frontier did not
   become closed during the nineteenth
   century or soon thereafter

26. The author implies that the cause of the
agrarian discontent was
  (A) masked by the vagueness of the official
   records on newly settled farms
  (B) overshadowed by disputes on the reliability
       of the existing historical evidence
  (C) misidentified as a result of influential but
   erroneous theorizing
  (D) overlooked because of a preoccupation with
       market conditions
  (E) undetected because visible indications of the
cause occurred so gradually and
   sporadically

27. The author’s argument implies that, compared
   to the yearly price changes that actually
   occurred on foreign agricultural markets during
the 1880’s, American farmers would have most
preferred yearly price changes that were
  (A) much smaller and in the same direction
  (B) much smaller but in the opposite direction
  (C) slightly smaller and in the same direction
  (D) similar in size but in the opposite direction
  (E) slightly greater and in the same direction
