文章：

Line         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
(5) 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
(10) 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
(15) 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
(20) 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
(25) 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
(30) 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
(35) 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
(40) climbing, arboreal snakes often pause
  momentarily to wiggle their bodies, causing waves
  of muscle contraction that advance from the lower
  torso to the head. By compressing the veins and
  forcing blood forward, these contractions
(45) apparently improve the flow of venous blood
  returning to the heart.


题目：

The passage provides information in support of which of the following assertions?

选项:

A、The disadvantages of an adaptation to a particular feature of an environment often outweigh the advantages of such an adaptation.
B、An organism’s reaction to being placed in an environment to which it is not well adapted can sometimes illustrate the problems that have been solved by the adaptations of organisms indigenous to that environment.
C、The effectiveness of an organism’s adaptation to a particular feature of its environment can only be evaluated by examining the effectiveness with which organisms of other species have adapted to a similar feature of a different environment.
D、Organisms of the same species that inhabit strikingly different environments will often adapt in remarkably similar ways to the few features of those environments that are common.
E、Different species of organisms living in the same environment will seldom adapt to features of that environment in the same way.

题目：

Plan: Concerned about the welfare of its senior citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians age sixty-five and older. Result: Many Runagian senior citizens are no better off financially now than they were before the increase. Further information: The annual rate of inflation since the pension increase has been below 5 percent, and the increased pension has been duly received by all eligible Runagians.

In light of the further information, which of the following, if true, does most to explain the result that followed implementation of the plan?

选项:

A、The majority of senior citizens whose financial position has not improved rely entirely on the government pension for their income.
B、The Runagian banking system is so inefficient that cashing a pension check can take as much as three weeks.
C、The prices of goods and services that meet the special needs of many senior citizens have increased at a rate much higher than the rate of inflation.
D、The pension increase occurred at a time when the number of Runagians age sixty-five and older who were living below the poverty level was at an all-time high.
E、The most recent pension increase was only the second such increase in the last ten years.

文章：

Line         Biologists have advanced two theories to explain
  why schooling of fish occurs in so many fish species.
  Because schooling is particularly widespread among
  species of small fish, both theories assume that
(5) schooling offers the advantage of some protection
  from predators.
       Proponents of theory A dispute the assumption
  that a school of thousands of fish is highly visible.
  Experiments have shown that any fish can be seen,
(10) even in very clear water, only within a sphere of 200
  meters in diameter. When fish are in a compact group,
  the spheres of visibility overlap. Thus the chance of
  a predator finding the school is only slightly greater
  than the chance of the predator finding a single fish
(15) swimming alone. Schooling is advantageous to the
  individual fish because a predator’s chance of finding
  any particular fish swimming in the school is much
  smaller than its chance of finding at least one of
  the same group of fish if the fish were dispersed
(20) throughout an area.
       However, critics of theory A point out that some
  fish form schools even in areas where predators
  are abundant and thus little possibility of escaping
  detection exists. They argue that the school continues
(25) to be of value to its members even after detection.
  They advocate theory B, the “confusion effect,” which
  can be explained in two different ways.
       Sometimes, proponents argue, predators simply
  cannot decide which fish to attack. This indecision
(30) supposedly results from a predator’s preference
  for striking prey that is distinct from the rest of the
  school in appearance. In many schools the fish are
  almost identical in appearance, making it difficult for a
  predator to select one. The second explanation for
(35) the “confusion effect” has to do with the sensory
  confusion caused by a large number of prey moving
  around the predator. Even if the predator
  makes the decision to attack a particular fish,
  the movement of other prey in the school can
(40) be distracting. The predator’s difficulty can
  be compared to that of a tennis player trying
  to hit a tennis ball when two are approaching
  simultaneously.


题目：

According to the passage, both theory A and theory B have been developed to explain how

选项:

A、fish hide from predators by forming schools
B、forming schools functions to protect fish from predators
C、schooling among fish differs from other protective behaviors
D、small fish are able to make rapid decisions
E、small fish are able to survive in an environment densely populated by large predators

文章：

The fact that superior service ca n generate a competitive advantage for a company does not mean that every attempt at improving service will create such an advantage. Investments in service, like those in production and distribution, must be balanced against other types of investments on the basis of direct, tangible benefits such as cost reduction and increased revenues. If a company is already effectively on a par with its competitors because it provides service that avoids a damaging reputation and keeps customers from leaving at an unacceptable rate, then investment in higher service levels may be wasted, since service is a deciding factor for customers only in extreme situations.

This truth was not apparent to managers of one regional bank, which failed to improve its competitive position despite its investment in reducing the time a customer had to. wait for a teller, The bank managers did not recognize the level of customer inertia in the consumer banking industry that arises from the inconvenience of switching banks. Nor did they analyze their service improvement to determine whether it would attract new customers by producing a new standard of service that would excite customers or by proving difficult for competitors to copy. The only merit of the improvement was that it could easily be described to customers.

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.
