题目：

Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?

When mercury-vapor streetlights are used in areas inhabited by insect-eating bats, the bats feed almost exclusively around the lights, because the lights attract flying insects. In Greenville, the mercury-vapor streetlights are about to be replaced with energy-saving sodium streetlights, which do not attract insects. This change is likely to result in a drop in the population of insect-eating bats in Greenville, since __________.

选项:

A、
A. the bats do not begin to hunt until after sundown
B、
B. the bats are unlikely to feed on insects that do not fly
C、
C. the highway department will be able to replace mercury-vapor streetlights with sodium streetlights within a relatively short time and without disrupting the continuity of lighting at the locations of the streetlights
D、
D. in the absence of local concentrations of the flying insects on which bats feed, the bats expend much more energy on hunting for food, requiring much larger quantities of insects to sustain each bat
E、
E. bats use echolocation to catch insects and therefore gain no advantage from the fact that insects flying in the vicinity of streetlights are visible at night

文章：

Line Micro-wear patterns found on the teeth of long-
extinct specimens of the primate species
australopithecine may provide evidence about their
diets. For example, on the basis of tooth micro-wear
(5) patterns, Walker dismisses Jolly’s hypothesis that
australopithecines ate hard seeds. He also disputes
Szalay’s suggestion that the heavy enamel of
australopithecine teeth is an adaptation to bone
crunching, since both seed cracking and bone
(10) crunching produce distinctive micro-wear
characteristics on teeth. His conclusion that
australopithecines were frugivores (fruit eaters) is
based upon his observation that the tooth micro-
wear characteristics of east African
(15) australopithecine specimens are indistinguishable
from those of chimpanzees and orangutans, which
are commonly assumed to be frugivorous primates.
However, research on the diets of
contemporary primates suggests that micro-wear
(20) studies may have limited utility in determining the
foods that are actually eaten. For example, insect
eating, which can cause distinct micro-wear
patterns, would not cause much tooth abrasion in
modern baboons, who eat only soft-bodied insects
(25) rather than hard-bodied insects. In addition, the
diets of current omnivorous primates vary
considerably depending on the environments that
different groups within a primate species inhabit; if
australopithecines were omnivores too, we might
(30) expect to find considerable population variation in
their tooth micro-wear patterns. Thus, Walker’s
description of possible australopithecine diets may
need to be expanded to include a much more
diverse diet.

题目：

The passage suggests that which of the following would be true of studies of tooth micro-wear patterns conducted on modern baboons?

选项:

A、
They would inaccurately suggest that some baboons eat more soft-bodied than hard-bodied insects.
B、
They would suggest that insects constitute the largest part of some baboons' diets.
C、
They would reveal that there are no significant differences in tooth micro-wear patterns among baboon populations.
D、
They would inadequately reflect the extent to which some baboons consume certain types of insects.
E、
They would indicate that baboons in certain regions eat only soft-bodied insects, whereas baboons in other regions eat hard-bodied insects.

D

题目：

Advertising by mail has become much less effective, with fewer consumers responding. Because consumers are increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of junk mail they receive, most discard almost all offers without considering them. Thus, an effective way for corporations to improve response rates would be to more carefully target the individuals to whom they mail advertising, thereby cutting down on the amount of junk mail each consumer receives.

Which of the following, if true, would most support this recommendation?

选项:

A、There are cost-effective means by which corporations that currently advertise by mail could improve response rates.
B、Many successful corporations are already carefully targeting the individuals to whom they mail advertising.
C、Any consumer who, immediately after receiving an advertisement by mail, merely glances at it is very likely to discard it.
D、Improvements in the quality of the advertising materials used in mail that is carefully targeted to individuals can improve the response rate for such mail.
E、Response rates to carefully targeted advertisements by mail are considerably higher, on average, than response rates to most other forms of advertising.

E

题目：

In virtually any industry, technological improvements increase labor productivity, which is the output of goods and services per person-hour worked. In Parland's industries, labor productivity is significantly higher than it is in Vergia's industries. Clearly, therefore, Parland's industries must, on the whole, be further advanced technologically than Vergia's are.

The argument is most vulnerable to which of the following criticisms?

选项:

A、It offers a conclusion that is no more than a paraphrase of one of the pieces of information provided in its support.
B、It presents as evidence in support of a claim information that is inconsistent with other evidence presented in support of the same claim.
C、It takes one possible cause of a condition to be the actual cause of that condition without considering any other possible causes.
D、It takes a condition to be the effect of something that happened only after the condition already existed.
E、It makes a distinction that presupposes the truth of the conclusion that is to be established.

题目：

Vargonia has just introduced a legal requirement that student-teacher ratios in government-funded schools not exceed a certain limit. All Vargonian children are entitled to education, free of charge, in these schools. When a recession occurs and average incomes fall, the number of children enrolled in government-funded schools tends to increase. Therefore, though most employment opportunities contract in economic recessions, getting a teaching job in Vargonia's government-funded schools will not be made more difficult by a recession.

Which of the following would be most important to determine in order to evaluate the argument?

选项:

A、Whether in Vargonia there are any schools not funded by the government that offer children an education free of charge
B、Whether the number of qualified applicants for teaching positions in government-funded schools increases significantly during economic recessions
C、What the current student-teacher ratio in Vargonia's government-funded schools is
D、What proportion of Vargonia's workers currently hold jobs as teachers in government-funded schools
E、Whether in the past a number of government-funded schools in Vargonia have had student-teacher ratios well in excess of the new limit

题目：

Although the earliest surviving Greek inscriptions written in an alphabet date from the eighth century B.C., a strong case can be made that the Greeks actually adopted alphabetic writing at least two centuries earlier.  Significantly, the text of these earliest surviving Greek inscriptions sometimes runs from right to left and sometimes from left to right.  Now, the Greeks learned alphabetic writing from the Phoenicians, and in the process they would surely have adopted whatever convention the Phoenicians were then using with respect to the direction of writing.  Originally, Phoenicians writing ran in either direction, but by the eighth century B.C. it had been consistently written from right to left for about two centuries.
 
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

选项:

A、The first provides evidence in support of the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is that position.
B、The first provides evidence in support of the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second presents an assumption on which that argument relies.
C、The first is an assumption that the argument concludes is unjustified; the second presents part of the grounds for that conclusion.
D、The first is evidence that forms the basis for an objection to the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is that position.
E、The first is evidence that forms the basis for an objection to the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is a judgment that is introduced in order to call into question the relevance of that evidence.

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?
