题目：

Certain genetically modified strains of maize produce a powerful natural insecticide. The insecticide occurs throughout the plant, including its pollen. Maize pollen is dispersed by the wind and frequently blows onto milkweed plants that grow near maize fields. Caterpillars of monarch butterflies feed exclusively on milkweed leaves. When these caterpillars are fed milkweed leaves dusted with pollen from modified maize plants, they die. Therefore, by using genetically modified maize, farmers put monarch butterflies at risk.

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

选项:

A、Whether the natural insecticide is as effective against maize-eating insects as commercial insecticides typically used on maize are
B、Whether the pollen of genetically modified maize contains as much insecticide as other parts of these plants
C、Whether monarch butterfly caterpillars are actively feeding during the part of the growing season when maize is releasing pollen
D、Whether insects that feed on genetically modified maize plants are likely to be killed by insecticide from the plant’s pollen
E、Whether any maize-eating insects compete with monarch caterpillars for the leaves of milkweed plants growing near maize fields

C

Line         Most attempts by physicists to send particles
  faster than the speed of light involve a remarkable
  phenomenon called quantum tunneling, in which
  particles travel through solid barriers that appear
(5) to be impenetrable. If you throw a ball at a wall,
  you expect it to bounce back, not to pass straight
  through it. Yet subatomic particles perform the
  equivalent feat. Quantum theory says that there is a
  distinct, albeit small, probability that such a particle
(10) will tunnel its way through a barrier; the probability
  declines exponentially as the thickness of the
  barrier increases. Though the extreme rapidity of
  quantum tunneling was noted as early as 1932,
  not until 1955 was it hypothesized—by Wigner and
(15) Eisenbud—that tunneling particles sometimes
#160; travel faster than light. Their grounds were
  calculations that suggested that the time it takes a
  particle to tunnel through a barrier increases with
  the thickness of the barrier until tunneling time
(20) reaches a maximum; beyond that maximum,
  tunneling time stays the same regardless of
  barrier thickness. This would imply that once
  maximum tunneling time is reached, tunneling
  speed will increase without limit as barrier thickness
(25) increases. Several recent experiments have
  supported this hypothesis that tunneling particles
  sometimes reach superluminal speed. According to
  measurements performed by Raymond Chiao and
  colleagues, for example, photons can pass through
(30) an optical filter at 1.7 times the speed of light.


题目：

Which of the following statements about the earliest scientific investigators of quantum tunneling can be inferred from the passage?

选项:

A、They found it difficult to increase barrier thickness continually.
B、They anticipated the later results of Chiao and his colleagues.
C、They did not suppose that tunneling particles could travel faster than light.
D、They were unable to observe instances of successful tunneling.
E、They made use of photons to study the phenomenon of tunneling.

题目：

Healthy lungs produce a natural antibiotic that protects them from infection by routinely killing harmful bacteria on airway surfaces. People with cystic fibroses, however, are unable to fight off such bacteria, even though their lungs produce normal amounts of the antibiotic. Since the fluid on airway surfaces in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis bas an abnormally high salt concentration, scientists hypothesize that in high salt environments the antibiotic becomes ineffective at killing harmful bacteria.
Which of the following, if it were obtained as an experimental result, would most decisively undermine the scientists' hypothesis?

选项:

A、Healthy lungs in which the salt concentration of the airway-surface fluid has been substantially increased are able to reestablish their normal salt concentration within a relatively short period of time.
B、The antibiotic produced by the lungs is effective at killing harmful bacteria even when salt concentrations are below levels typical of healthy lungs.
C、The salt concentration of the airway-surface fluid in the lungs of people who suffer from cystic fibrosis tends to return to its former high levels after having been reduced to levels typical of healthy lungs.
D、The lungs of people who suffer from cystic fibrosis are unable to fight off harmful bacteria even when the salt concentration is reduced to levels typical of healthy lungs.
E、The salt concentration in the airway-surface fluid of people whose lungs produce lower-than-average amounts of the antibiotic is generally much lower than that typical of healthy lungs.

文章：

In terrestrial environments, gravity places special demands on the cardiovascular systems of animals.  Gravitational pressure can cause blood to pool in the lower regions of the body, making it difficult to circulate blood to critical organs such as the brain.  Terrestrial snakes, in particular, exhibit adaptations that aid in circulating blood against the force of gravity.

 

The problem confronting terrestrial snakes is best illustrated by what happens to sea snakes when removed from their supportive medium.  Because the vertical pressure gradients within the blood vessels are counteracted by similar pressure gradients in the surrounding water, the distribution of blood throughout the body of sea snakes remains about the same regardless of their orientation in space, provided they remain in the ocean. When removed from the water and tilted at various angles with the head up, however, blood pressure at their midpoint drops significantly, and at brain level falls to zero.  That many terrestrial snakes in similar spatial orientations do not experience this kind of circulatory failure suggests that certain adaptations enable them to regulate blood pressure more effectively in those orientations.

 

One such adaptation is the closer proximity of the terrestrial snake's heart to its head, which helps to ensure circulation to the brain, regardless of the snake's orientation in space.  The heart of sea snakes can be located near the middle of the body, a position that minimizes the work entailed in circulating blood to both extremities.  In arboreal snakes, however, which dwell in trees and often assume a vertical posture, the average distance from the heart to the head can be as little as 15 percent of overall body length.  Such a location requires that blood circulated to the tail of the snake travel a greater distance back to the heart, a problem solved by another adaptation.  When climbing, arboreal snakes often pause momentarily to wiggle their bodies, causing waves of muscle contraction that advance from the lower torso to head.  By compressing the veins and forcing blood forward, these contractions apparently improve the flow of venous blood returning to the heart.

题目：

The author suggests that which of the following is a disadvantage that results from the location of a snake's heart in close proximity to its head?

选项:

A、(A) A decrease in the efficiency with which the snake regulates the flow of blood to the brain
B、(B) A decrease in the number of orientations in space that a snake can assume without loss of blood flow to the brain
C、(C) A decrease in blood pressure at the snake's midpoint when it is tilted at various angles with its head up
D、(D) An increase in the tendency of blood to pool at the snake's head when the snake is tilted at various angles with its head down
E、(E) An increase in the amount of effort required to distribute blood to and from the snake's tail

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.
