    The term "episodic memory" was introduced by Tulving to refer to what he considered a uniquely human capacity-the ability to recollect specific past events, to travel back into the past in one's own mind-as distinct from the capacity simply to use information acquired through past experiences. Subsequently, Clayton et al. developed criteria to test for episodic memory in animals. According to these criteria, episodic memories are not of individual bits of information; they involvemultiple components of a single event "bound" together. Clayton sought to examine evidence of scrub jays' accurate memory of "what," "where," and "when" information and their binding of this information. In the wild, these birds store food for retrieval later during periods of food scarcity. Clayton's experiment required jays to remember the type, location, and freshness of stored food based on a unique learning event. Crickets were stored in one location and peanuts in another. Jays prefer crickets, but crickets degrade more quickly. Clayton's birds switched their preference from crickets to peanuts once the food had been stored for a certain length of time, showing that they retain information about the what, the where, and the when. Such experiments cannot, however, reveal whether the birds were reexperiencing the past when retrieving the information. Clayton acknowledged this by using the term "episodic-like" memory.

题目：

It can be inferred that the author of the passage and Clayton would both agree that

选项:

A、the food preferences of the scrub jays in Clayton's experiment are difficult to explain
B、the presence of episodic memory cannot be inferred solely on the basis of observable behavior
C、Clayton's experiment demonstrated that scrub jays do not reexperience the past but do exhibit episodic-like memory
D、Tulving substantially underestimated the ability of animals to bind different kinds of information
E、Clayton's experiment had certain fundamental design flaws that make it difficult to draw any conclusions about scrub jay's memories

B

题目：

Some anthropologists study modern-day societies of foragers in an effort to learn about our ancient ancestors who were also foragers. A flaw in this strategy is that forager societies are extremely varied. Indeed, any forager society with which anthropologists are familiar has had considerable contact with modern, non-forager societies.

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the criticism made above of the anthropologists' strategy?

选项:

A、All forager societies throughout history have had a number of important features in common that are absent from other types of societies.
B、Most ancient forager societies either dissolved or made a transition to another way of life.
C、All anthropologists study one kind or another of modern-day society.
D、Many anthropologists who study modern-day forager societies do not draw inferences about ancient societies on the basis of their studies.
E、Even those modern-day forager societies that have not had significant contact with modern societies are importantly different from ancient forager societies.

A

题目：

According to a study, after a week of high-altitude living, twenty men had slimmed down. The men, middle-aged residents of low-altitude areas, had been taken to a research station at 2,650 meters (8,694 feet) above sea level. They had unrestricted access to food and were forbidden vigorous exercise, yet they lost an average of 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds) during their one-week stay. Clearly, the lower availability of oxygen at higher altitudes, or hypobaric hypoxia, can be said to have caused the weight loss, since __________.

Which of the following would, if true, most logically complete the argument?

选项:

A、a decrease in oxygen intake has been shown to depress appetite
B、the men all participated in the same kinds of exercise during their stay
C、the foods available to the men had fewer calories than the foods they usually ate
D、exercise at higher altitudes is more difficult than exercise at lower altitudes is
E、several weeks after returning home, the men still weighed less than they had before the study

题目：

Aroca City currently funds its public schools through taxes on property. In place of this system, the city plans to introduce a sales tax of 3 percent on all retail sales in the city. Critics protest that 3 percent of current retail sales falls short of the amount raised for schools by property taxes. The critics are correct on this point. Nevertheless, implementing the plan will probably not reduce the money going to Aroca's schools. Several large retailers have selected Aroca City as the site for huge new stores, and these are certain to draw large numbers of shoppers from neighboring municipalities, where sales are taxed at rates of 6 percent and more. In consequence, retail sales in Aroca City are bound to increase substantially.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

选项:

A、
A. The first presents a plan that the argument concludes is unlikely to achieve its goal; the second expresses that conclusion.
B、
B. The first presents a plan that the argument concludes is unlikely to achieve its goal; the second presents evidence in support of that conclusion.
C、
C. The first presents a plan that the argument contends is the best available; the second is a conclusion drawn by the argument to justify that contention.
D、
D. The first presents a plan one of whose consequences is at issue in the argument; the second is the argument's conclusion about that consequence.
E、
E. The first presents a plan that the argument seeks to defend against a certain criticism; the second is that criticism.

题目：

Mayor: False alarms from home security systems waste so much valuable police time that in many communities police have stopped responding to alarms from homes whose systems frequently produce false alarms. This policy reduces wastage of police time but results in a loss of protection for some residents. To achieve a comparable reduction in wastage without reducing protection for residents, the council has enacted a measure to fine residents for repeated false alarms.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on whether the measure enacted by the council will achieve its goal?

选项:

A、A fine in the amount planned by the council will not cover the expenses police typically incur when they respond to a false alarm.
B、Homes equipped with security systems are far less likely to be broken into than are homes without security systems.
C、The threat of fines is likely to cause many residents to deactivate their security systems.
D、The number of home security systems is likely to increase dramatically over the next five years.
E、Many home security systems have never produced false alarms.

Article

    The expenses related to sponsoring a conference can be immense. An organization sponsoring a conference can recoup these expenses through registration fees and partnership with the host hotel. As part of the partnership, the host hotel sets aside a block of rooms for conference attendees, with rooms available at a slightly higher-than-normal rate.

    While most conference attendees prefer to stay in the host hotel, they often follow an alternate strategy to avoid the extra cost of reserving a room within the block at the host hotel. Some attendees reserve rooms outside the host hotel—the ROHH strategy. Others reserve rooms outside the block—the ROB strategy.

    Conference sponsors have succeeded in countering these strategies by increasing the conference registration fee by a fixed amount and then offering an equivalent registration fee discount to attendees who book rooms in the block. A study has shown that if this registration discount is equal to at least half the potential savings of an attendee's particular cost-saving strategy, the attendee is much more likely to reserve a room within the block.

Weekend Conferences

    Ten conferences are scheduled for the same weekend in City X. For each conference, the table lists the conference sponsor, the registration fee, the discounted registration fee (if any), the host hotel, the rate for rooms in the block at the host hotel, and the lowest rate for an available room in the host hotel during that same weekend. Conference attendees will require two nights lodging, and all room rates are per guest, per night, assuming two guests per room. The lowest rate for an available room in City X on this same weekend is S65.

题目：

1. For each of the following sponsors, select Yes if an attendee of the sponsors' conference would spend less money by employing the ROB strategy—paying the lowest possible room rate in the host hotel and paying the nondiscounted registration fee—than by reserving a room in the block. Otherwise, select NO

选项:

A、CC
B、FFNA

Height-for-age standards

The World Health Organization (WHO) has produced a comprehensive set of growth stan­dards for children. These standards are based on studies of children living in 6 nations on 5 continents under optimal conditions with respect to health and nutrition. The table dis­plays the percentile distribution of height, in centimeters, at 3-month intervals, for boys ages 2 through 5 according to the WHO model. In a model population—a large population of boys ages 2 through 5 that conforms to the WHO growth standards—for n = 3.15, 50. 85. and 97, the nth percentile in height for a given age is the unique height among boys of that age that is greater than or equal to n percent, and less than or equal to (100 - n) percent, of heights of boys of that age.

Weight-for-height standards

The graph shows the percentile distribution of weight, in kilograms, for heights from 80 cm to 120 cm. for boys ages 2 through 5, according to the WHO model. In a model population, for n = 3,15,50,85, and 97. the nth percentile in weight for a given height is the unique weight among boys of that height that is greater than or equal to n percent, and less than or equal to (100 - n) percent, of weights of boys of that age.

题目：

16. B is a boy aged 4 years 3 mouths whose height is 110 cm and whose weight is 19 kg. For each of the following statements, select Yes if, based on the given information, it must be true of B relative to a model population. Otherwise, select No.

选项:

A、At least 15% of boys at the same height have weight that is less than or equal to that of B.
B、At least 80% of boys at this age have height within 10% of B's height.
C、B's height is less than that of most 3% of boys at age 4 years 0 months.

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?
