Line         Jacob Burckhardt’s view that Renaissance
  European women “stood on a footing of perfect
  equality” with Renaissance men has been repeatedly
  cited by feminist scholars as a prelude to their
(5) presentation of rich historical evidence of women’s
  inequality. In striking contrast to Burckhardt, Joan
  Kelly in her famous 1977 essay, “Did Women Have
  a Renaissance?” argued that the Renaissance was
  a period of economic and social decline for women
(10) relative both to Renaissance men and to medieval
  women. Recently, however, a significant trend
  among feminist scholars has entailed a rejection
  of both Kelly’s dark vision of the Renaissance and
  Burckhardt’s rosy one. Many recent works by these
(15) scholars stress the ways in which differences
  among Renaissance women—especially in terms
  of social status and religion—work to complicate
  the kinds of generalizations both Burckhardt and
  Kelly made on the basis of their observations about
(20) upper-class Italian women.
       The trend is also evident, however, in works
  focusing on those middle- and upper-class
  European women whose ability to write gives them
  disproportionate representation in the historical
(25) record. Such women were, simply by virtue of
  their literacy, members of a tiny minority of the
  population, so it is risky to take their descriptions of
  their experiences as typical of “female experience”
  in any general sense. Tina Krontiris, for example, in
(30) her fascinating study of six Renaissance women
  writers, does tend at times to conflate “women” and
  “women writers,” assuming that women’s gender,
  irrespective of other social differences, including
  literacy, allows us to view women as a homogeneous
(35) social group and make that group an object of
  analysis. Nonetheless, Krontiris makes a significant
  contribution to the field and is representative of
  those authors who offer what might be called a
  cautiously optimistic assessment of Renaissance
(40) women’s achievements, although she also stresses
  the social obstacles Renaissance women faced
  when they sought to raise their “oppositional
  voices.” Krontiris is concerned to show women
  intentionally negotiating some power for themselves
(45) (at least in the realm of public discourse) against
  potentially constraining ideologies, but in her sober
  and thoughtful concluding remarks, she suggests
  that such verbal opposition to cultural stereotypes
  was highly circumscribed; women seldom attacked
(50) the basic assumptions in the ideologies that
  oppressed them.


题目：

The author of the passage discusses Krontiris primarily to provide an example of a writer who

选项:

A、is highly critical of the writings of certain Renaissance women
B、supports Kelly’s view of women’s status during the Renaissance
C、has misinterpreted the works of certain Renaissance women
D、has rejected the views of both Burckhardt and Kelly
E、has studied Renaissance women in a wide variety of social and religious contexts

题目：

With seventeen casinos, Moneyland operates the most casinos in a certain state. Although intent on expanding, it was outmaneuvered by Apex Casinos in negotiations to acquire the Eldorado chain. To complete its acquisition of Eldorado, Apex must sell five casinos to comply with a state law forbidding any owner to operate more than one casino per county. Since Apex will still be left operating twenty casinos in the state, it will then have the most casinos in the state.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the prediction?

选项:

A、Apex, Eldorado, and Moneyland are the only organizations licensed to operate casinos in the state.
B、The majority of Eldorado’s casinos in the state will need extensive renovations if they are to continue to operate profitably.
C、Some of the state’s counties do not permit casinos.
D、Moneyland already operates casinos in the majority of the state’s counties.
E、Apex will use funds it obtains from the sale of the five casinos to help fund its acquisition of the Eldorado chain.

A

文章：

Theater Critic: The play La Finestrina, now at Central Theater, was written in Italy in the eighteenth century. The director claims that this production is as similar to the original production as is possible in a modern theater. Although the actor who plays Harlequin the clown gives a performance very reminiscent of the twentieth-century American comedian Groucho Marx, Marx’s comic style was very much within the comic acting tradition that had begun in sixteenth-century Italy.

题目：

The considerations given best serve as part of an argument that

选项:

A、modern audiences would fi nd it hard to tolerate certain characteristics of a historically accurate performance of an eighteenth-century play Groucho Marx once performed the part of the character Harlequin in La Finestrina 
B、in the United States the training of actors in the twentieth century is based on principles that do not differ radically from those that underlay the training of actors in eighteenth-century Italy 
C、the performance of the actor who plays Harlequin in La Finestrina does not serve as evidence against the director's claim 
D、the director of La Finestrina must have advised the actor who plays Harlequin to model his performance on comic performances of Groucho Marx

C

题目：

Paleontologist: About 2.8 million years ago, many species that lived near the ocean floor suffered substantial population declines.  These declines coincided with the onset of an ice age.  The notion that cold killed those bottom-dwelling creatures outright is misguided, however; temperatures near the ocean floor would have changed very little.  Nevertheless, the cold probably did cause the population declines, though indirectly.  Many bottom-dwellers depended for food on plankton, small organisms that lived close to the surface and sank to the bottom when they died.  Most probably, the plankton suffered a severe population decline as a result of sharply lower temperatures at the surface, depriving many bottom-dwellers of food.
In the paleontologist's reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

选项:

A、The first introduces the hypothesis proposed by the paleontologist; the second is a judgment offered in spelling out that hypothesis.
B、The first introduces the hypothesis proposed by the paleontologist; the second is a position that the paleontologist opposes.
C、The first is an explanation challenged by the paleontologist; the second is an explanation proposed by the paleontologist.
D、The first is a judgment advanced in support of a conclusion reached by the paleontologist; the second is that conclusion.
E、The first is a generalization put forward by the paleontologist; the second presents certain exceptional cases in which that generalization does not hold.

A

题目：

Museums that house Renaissance oil paintings typically store them in envbironments that are carefully kept within narrow margins of temperature and humidity to inhibit any deterioration. Laboratory tests have shown that the kind of oil paint used in these paintings actually adjusts to climatic changes quite well. If, as some museum directors believe,paint is the most sensitive substance in these works, then by relaxing the standards for temperature and humidity control, museums can reduce energy costs without risking damage to these paintings. Museums would be rash to relax those standards, however, since results of preliminary tests indicate that gesso, a compound routinely used by Renaissance artists to help paint adhere to the canvas, is unable to withstand significant variations in humidity.
 
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

选项:

A、The first is an objection that has been raised against the position taken by the argument; the second is the position taken by the argument.
B、The first is the position taken by the argument; the second is the position that the argument calls into question.
C、The first is a judgment that has been offered in support of the position that the argument calls into question; the second is a circumstance on which that judgment is, in part based.
D、The first is a judgment that has been offered in support of the position that the argument calls into question; the second is that position.
E、The first is a claim that the argument calls into question; the second is the position taken by the argument.

题目：

Marketing executive for Magu Corporation: Whenever Magu opens a manufacturing facility in a new city, the company should sponsor, or make donations to, a number of nonprofit organizations in that city. Doing so would improve Magu's image in the community, and thus the money spent on such charitable ventures would lead to increased sales.

Which statement would, if true, point to the most serious weakness in the marketing executive's advice?

选项:

A、Magu sells its products internationally, so sales in any one city represent only a small portion of total revenue.
B、Spending on charitable ventures would require Magu to decrease direct advertisements, which are the most effective means of reaching its target customers.
C、If market conditions change, Magu may have to close any such facility or relocate it.
D、Some nonprofit organizations are poorly organized, so money donated to them would be of little benefit to the community.
E、If workers at the manufacturing facility believed their wages or working conditions were poor, their complaints would outweigh any good impressions generated by Magu's donations or sponsorships.

文章：

    Acting on the recommendation of a British government committee investigating the high incidence in white lead factories of illness among employees, most of whom were women, the Home Secretary proposed in 1895 that Parliament enact legislation that would prohibit women from holding most jobs in white lead factories. Although the Women's Industrial Defence Committee (WIDC), formed in 1892 in response to earlier legislative attempts to restrict women's labor, did not discount the white lead trade's potential health dangers, it opposed the proposal, viewing it as yet another instance f limiting women's work opportunities. Also opposing the proposal was the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women (SPEW), which attempted to challenge it by investigating the causes of illness in white lead factories. SPEW contended, and WIDC concurred, that controllable conditions in such factories were responsible for the development of lead poisoning. SPEW provided convincing evidence that lead poisoning could be avoided if workers were careful and clean and if already extant workplace safety regulations were stringently enforced. However, the Women's Trade Union League (WTUL), which had ceased in the late 1880's to oppose restrictions on women's labor, supported the eventually enacted proposal, in part because safety regulations were generally not being enforced in white lead factories, where there were no unions (and little prospect of any) to pressure employers to comply with safety regulations.

题目：

The passage suggests that WIDC differed from WTUL in which of the following ways?

选项:

A、WIDC believed that the existing safety regulations were adequate to protect women's health, whereas WTUL believed that such regulations needed to be strengthened.
B、WIDC believed that unions could not succeed in pressuring employers to comply with such regulations, whereas WTUL believed that unions could succeed in doing so.
C、WIDC believed that lead poisoning in white lead factories could be avoided by controlling conditions there, whereas WTUL believed that lead poisoning in such factories could not be avoided no matter how stringently safety regulations were enforced.
D、At the time that the legislation concerning white lead factories was proposed, WIDC was primarily concerned with addressing health conditions in white lead factories, whereas WTUL was concerned with improving working conditions in all types of factories.
E、At the time that WIDC was opposing legislative attempts to restrict women's labor, WTUL had already ceased to do so.

Art historian: Unlike many artistic traditions that sought to depict plants native to the local area in a seasonally appropriate way (for example, depicting scenes of spring with the plants in the appropriate stages of development for that season), seventeenth-century Dutch artists specializing in flower paintings almost exclusively chose to depict exotic species of flowers from outside the local area. Painting such species was worthwhile primarily because the art-buying public had developed a strong preference for images of the exotic. The great botanical centers of the time gave the artists direct access to such flowers, which the artists would freely combine in a single painting, regardless of whether the combined species occurred together in the wild, and depicted each in full bloom, regardless of whether those species bloomed at the same time in nature.

Statement: The art historian makes the point that the species of flowers these Dutch artists chose to paint were 1 largely because the species were 2 .

Select for 1 and for 2 the options that complete the statement so that it is most strongly supported by the information provided. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Tiger beetles are such fast runners that they can capture virtually any nonflying insect.  However, when running toward an insect, the beetles intermittently stop, and then, a moment later, resume their attack.  Perhaps they cannot maintain their pace and must pause for a moment's rest; but an alternative hypothesis is that while running tiger beetles are unable to process the resulting rapidly changing visual information, and so quickly go blind and stop.
 
Which of the following, if discovered in experiments using artificially moved prey insects, would support one of the two hypotheses and undermine the other?
