Line        The argument for “monetizing”—or putting a
 monetary value on—ecosystem functions may be
 stated thus: Concern about the depletion of natural
 resources is widespread, but this concern, in the
(5)absence of an economic argument for conservation,
 has not translated into significant conservational
 progress. Some critics blame this impasse on
 environmentalists, whom they believe fail to address
 the economic issues of environmental degradation.
(10)Conservation can appear unprofitable when compared
 with the economic returns derived from converting
 natural assets (pristine coastlines, for example) into
 explicitly commercial ones (such as resort hotels).
 But according to David Pearce, that illusion stems
(15)from the fact that “services” provided by ecological
 systems are not traded on the commodities market,
 and thus have no readily quantifiable value. To
 remedy this, says Pearce, one has to show that all
 ecosystems have economic value—indeed, that all
(20)ecological services are economic services. Tourists
 visiting wildlife preserves, for example, create
 jobs and generate income for national economies;
 undisturbed forests and wetlands regulate water
 runoff and act as water-purifying systems, saving
(25)millions of dollars worth of damage to property
 and to marine ecosystems. In Gretchen Daily’s
 view, monetization, while unpopular with many
 environmentalists, reflects the dominant role that
 economic considerations play in human behavior,
(30)and the expression of economic value in a common
 currency helps inform environmental decision-making
 processes.


题目：

According to the passage, Daily sees monetization as an indication of which of the following?

选项:

A、 has been dated to be 3.47 billion years old and thus is
B、has been dated at 3.47 billion years old and thus
C、have been dated to be 3.47 billion years old and thus are

Line    According to economic signaling theory,
  consumers may perceive the frequency with
  which an unfamiliar brand is advertised as a cue
  that the brand is of high quality. The notion that
(5) highly advertised brands are associated with
  high-quality products does have some empirical
  support. Marquardt and McGann found that
  heavily advertised products did indeed rank high
  on certain measures of product quality. Because
(10) large advertising expenditures represent
  a significant investment on the part of a
  manufacturer, only companies that expect to
  recoup these costs in the long run, through
  consumers’ repeat purchases of the product,
(15) can afford to spend such amounts.
       However, two studies by Kirmani have found
  that although consumers initially perceive expensive
  advertising as a signal of high brand quality,
  at some level of spending the manufacturer’s
(20) advertising effort may be perceived as unreasonably
  high, implying low manufacturer confidence in
  product quality. If consumers perceive excessive
  advertising effort as a sign of a manufacturer’s
  desperation, the result may be less favorable
(25) brand perceptions. In addition, a third study by
  Kirmani, of print advertisements, found that the
  use of color affected consumer perception of
  brand quality. Because consumers recognize that
  color advertisements are more expensive than
(30) black and white, the point at which repetition of an
  advertisement is perceived as excessive comes
  sooner for a color advertisement than for a blackand-
  white advertisement.


题目：

The primary purpose of the passage is to

选项:

A、present findings that contradict one explanation for the effects of a particular advertising practice
B、argue that theoretical explanations about the effects of a particular advertising practice are of limited value without empirical evidence
C、discuss how and why particular advertising practices may affect consumers’ perceptions
D、contrast the research methods used in two different studies of a particular advertising practice
E、explain why a finding about consumer responses to a particular advertising practice was unexpected

文章：

Two recent publications offer different assessments of the career of the famous British nurse Florence Nightingale. A book by Anne Summers seeks to debunk the idealizations and present a reality at odds with Nightingale's heroic reputation. According to summers, Nightingale's importance during the Crimean War has been exaggerated: not until near the war's end did she become supervisor of the female nurses. Additionally, summers writes that the contribution of the nurses to the relief of the wounded was at best marginal. The prevailing problems of military medicine were caused by army organizational practices, and the addition of a few nurses to the medical staff could be no more than symbolic. Nightingale’s place in the national pantheon, summers asserts, is largely due to the propagandist’s efforts of contemporary newspaper reporters.
By contrast, the editors of a new volume of Nightingale's letters view Nightingale as a person who significantly influenced not only her own age but also subsequent generations. They highlight her ongoing efforts to reform sanitary conditions after the war. For example, when she learned that peacetime Living conditions in British barracks were so horrible that the death rate of enlisted men far exceeded that of neighboring avian populations, she succeeded in persuading the government to establish a Royal Commission on the Health of the Army. She used sums raised through pubic contributions to found a nurses' training hospital in London. Even in administrative matters, the editors assert, her practical intelligence was formidable: as recently as 1947 the British Army's medical services were still using the cost-accounting system she had devised in the 1860's.
I believe that the evidence of her letters supports continued respect for Nightingale's brilliance and creativity. When counseling a village schoolmaster to encourage children to use their faculties of observation, she sounds Ike a modern educator. Her insistence on classifying the problems of the needy in order to devise appropriate treatments is similar to the approach of modern social workers. In sum, although Nightingale may not have achieved al of her goals during the Crimean War, her breadth of vision and ability to realize ambitious projects have earned her an eminent place among the ranks of social pioneers.

题目：

in the last paragraph, the author is primarily concerned with

选项:

A、summarizing the arguments about Nightingale presented in the first two paragraphs 
B、refuting the view of Nightingale's career presented in the preceding paragraph 
C、analyzing the weaknesses of the evidence presented elsewhere in the passage 
D、citing evidence to support a view of Nightingale's career 
E、correcting a factual error occurring in one of the works under review

D

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?
