Line Anthropologists once thought that the ancestors
of modern humans began to walk upright because
it freed their hands to use stone tools, which they
had begun to make as the species evolved a brain of
(5) increased size and mental capacity. But discoveries
of the three-million-year-old fossilized remains of
our hominid ancestor Australopithecus have yielded
substantial anatomical evidence that upright walking
appeared prior to the dramatic enlargement of the
(10) brain and the development of stone tools.
Walking on two legs in an upright posture (bipedal
locomotion) is a less efficient proposition than walking
on all fours (quadrupedal locomotion) because several
muscle groups that the quadruped uses for propulsion
(15) must instead be adapted to provide the biped with
stability and control. The shape and configuration
of various bones must likewise be modified to allow
the muscles to perform these functions in upright
walking. Reconstruction of the pelvis (hipbones) and
(20) femur (thighbone) of “Lucy,” a three-million-year-old
skeleton that is the most complete fossilized skeleton
from the Australopithecine era, has shown that they
are much more like the corresponding bones of the
modern human than like those of the most closely
(25) related living primate, the quadrupedal chimpanzee.
Lucy’s wide, shallow pelvis is actually better suited to
bipedal walking than is the rounder, bowl-like pelvis of
the modern human, which evolved to form the larger
birth canal needed to accommodate the head of a
(30) large-brained human infant. By contrast, the head of
Lucy’s baby could have been no larger than that of a
baby chimpanzee.
If the small-brained australopithecines were not
toolmakers, what evolutionary advantage did they
(35) gain by walking upright? One theory is that bipedality
evolved in conjunction with the nuclear family:
monogamous parents cooperating to care for their
offspring. Walking upright permitted the father to
use his hands to gather food and carry it to his mate
(40) from a distance, allowing the mother to devote more
time and energy to nurturing and protecting their
children. According to this view, the transition to
bipedal walking may have occurred as long as ten
million years ago, at the time of the earliest hominids,
(45) making it a crucial initiating event in human evolution.

题目：

The primary purpose of the passage is to

选项:

A、present an interpretation of the chronological relationship between bipedal locomotion and certain other key aspects of human evolution
B、compare the evolutionary advantages and disadvantages of bipedal locomotion to those of quadrupedal locomotion
C、argue that the transition to a nuclear family structure was a more crucial step in human evolution than was the development of stone tools
D、analyze anatomical evidence of bipedal locomotion to show that the large brain of modern humans developed at a later stage of evolution than was previously believed
E、use examples of muscle and bone structure to illustrate the evolutionary differences between modern humans, australopithecines, and chimpanzees

题目：

Half of the subjects in an experiment--the experimental group--consumed large quantities of a popular artificial sweetener.  Afterward, this group showed lower cognitive abilities than did the other half of the subjects--the control group--who did not consume the sweetener.  The detrimental effects were attributed to an amino acid that is one of the sweetener's principal constituents.
Which of the following, if true, would best help explain how the sweetener might produce the observed effect?

选项:

A、The government's analysis of the artificial sweetener determined that it was sold in relatively pure form.
B、A high level of the amino acid in the blood inhibits the synthesis of a substance required for normal brain functioning.
C、Because the sweetener is used primarily as a food additive, adverse reactions to it are rarely noticed by consumers.
D、The amino acid that is a constituent of the sweetener is also sold separately as a dietary supplement.
E、Subjects in the experiment did not know whether they were consuming the sweetener or a second, harmless substance.

题目：

Columnist: Metro City has a lower percentage of residents with humanities degrees than any other city of comparable size in our nation. Nationwide, university graduates generally earn more than people who are not university graduates, but those with humanities degrees typically earn less than do graduates with degrees in other disciplines. So the main reason Metro City has higher income per capita than any other city of comparable size in our nation must be its low percentage of residents with humanities degrees.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the columnist's argument?

选项:

A、Metro City residents with humanities degrees have higher income per capita than do people with humanities degrees in any other city of comparable size in the nation.
B、The percentage of residents with university degrees is lower in Metro City than in any other city of comparable size in the nation.
C、Nationwide, university graduates without humanities degrees typically earn more than do individuals without university degrees.
D、Metro City residents with degrees outside the humanities have per capita income no higher than the per capita income of such residents of other cities of comparable size in the nation.
E、In Metro City, a lower proportion of university graduates have humanities degrees than in any other city of comparable size in the nation.

文章：

In many scientific disciplines, scientists generally do not do highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a tendency that has normally been taken to show that aging carries with it a loss of creative capacity. However, by the age of forty most scientists have been working in their chosen field for at least fifteen years, so an alternative explanation is that spending too long in a single field reduces the opportunity for creative thought.

题目：

Investigating which of the following would be most useful in choosing between the competing explanations described above?

选项:

A、Whether among those scientists who do highly creative work beyond age forty a large proportion entered their field at a considerably later age than is common Whether scientists' choice of research projects tends to be influenced by their own belief that their most creative work will be done relatively early in their career
B、Whether scientists who are older than forty tend to find more satisfaction in other activities, such as teaching and mentoring, than they do in pursuing their own research
C、Whether funding agencies are more inclined to award research grants to scientists who are veterans in their field than to scientists who are relative newcomers 
D、Whether there is significant variation among scientific fields in the average age at which scientists working in those fields are at their most productive

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?
