One proposal for preserving rain forests is to promote the adoption of new agricultural technologies, such as improved plant varieties and use of chemical herbicides, which would increase productivity and slow deforestation by reducing demand for new cropland. Studies have shown that farmers in developing countries who have achieved certain levels of education, wealth, and security of land tenure are more likely to adopt such technologies. But these studies have focused on villages with limited land that are tied to a market economy rather than on the relatively isolated, selfsufficient communities with ample land characteristic of rain-forest regions. A recent study of the Tawahka people of the Honduran rain forest found that farmers with some formal education were more likely to adopt improved plant varieties but less likely to use chemical herbicides and that those who spoke Spanish (the language of the market economy) were more likely to adopt both technologies. Nonland wealth was also associated with more adoption of both technologies, but availability of uncultivated land reduced the incentive to employ the productivity-enhancing technologies. Researchers also measured land-tenure security: in Tawahka society, kinship ties are a more important indicator of this than are legal property rights, so researchers measured it by a household's duration of residence in its village. They found that longer residence correlated with more adoption of improved plant varieties but less adoption of chemical herbicides.
题目：
The passage suggests that in the study mentioned in the highlighted text the method for gathering information about security of land tenure reflects which of the following pairs of assumptions about Tawahka society?
选项:
A、The security of a household's land tenure depends on the strength of that household's kinship ties, and the duration of a household's residence in its village is an indication of the strength of that household's kinship ties.
B、The ample availability of land makes security of land tenure unimportant, and the lack of a need for secure land tenure has made the concept of legal property rights unnecessary.
C、The strength of a household's kinship ties is a more reliable indicator of that household's receptivity to new agricultural technologies than is its quantity of nonland wealth, and the duration of a household's residence in its village is a more reliable indicator of that household's security of land tenure than is the strength of its kinship ties.
D、Security of land tenure based on kinship ties tends to make farmers more receptive to the use of improved plant varieties, and security of land tenure based on long duration of residence in a village tends to make farmers more receptive to the use of chemical herbicides.
E、A household is more likely to be receptive to the concept of land tenure based on legal property rights if it has easy access to uncultivated land, and a household is more likely to uphold the tradition of land tenure based on kinship ties if it possesses a significant degree of nonland wealth.

题目：
Ramirez: The film industry claims that pirated DVDs, which are usually cheaper than legitimate DVDs and become available well before a film's official DVD release date, adversely affect its bottom line. But the industry should note what the spread of piracy indicates: consumers want lower prices and faster DVD releases. Lowering prices of DVDs and releasing them sooner would mitigate piracy's negative effect on film industry profits.
The argument above relies on which of the following assumptions?
选项:
A、Releasing legitimate DVDs earlier would not cause any reduction in the revenue the film industry receives from the films’ theatrical release.
B、Some people who would otherwise purchase pirated DVDs would be willing to purchase legitimate DVDs if they were less expensive and released earlier than they are now.
C、The film industry will in the future be able to produce DVDs more cheaply than is currently the case.
D、Some current sellers of pirated DVDs would likely discontinue their businesses if legitimate DVDs were released faster and priced lower.
E、Current purchasers of pirated DVDs are aware that those DVDs are not authorized by the film industry.

题目：
Frobisher, a sixteenth-century English explorer, had soil samples from Canada's Kodlunarn Island examined for gold content. Because high gold content was reported, Elizabeth I funded two mining expeditions. Neither expedition found any gold there. Modern analysis of the island's soil indicates a very low gold content. Thus the methods used to determine the gold content of Frobisher's samples must have been inaccurate.
选项:
A、The gold content of the soil on Kodlunarn Island is much lower today than it was in the sixteenth century.
B、The two mining expeditions funded by Elizabeth I did not mine the same part of Kodlunarn Island.
C、The methods used to assess gold content of the soil samples provided by Frobisher were different from those generally used in the sixteenth century.
D、Frobisher did not have soil samples from any other Canadian island examined for gold content.
E、Gold was not added to the soil samples collected by Frobisher before the samples were examined.

题目：
Hollywood restaurant is replacing some of its standard tables with tall tables and stools. The restaurant already fills every available seat during its operating hours, and the change in seating arrangements will not result in an increase in the restaurant’s seating capacity. Nonetheless, the restaurant’s management expects revenue to increase as a result of the seating change without any concurrent change in menu, prices, or operating hours.
Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason for the expectation?
Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason for the expectation?
选项:
A、One of the taller tables takes up less floor space than one of the standard tables.
B、Diners seated on stools typically do not linger over dinner as long as diners seated at standard tables.
C、Since the restaurant will replace only some of its standard tables, it can continue to accommodate customers who do not care for the taller tables.
D、Few diners are likely to avoid the restaurant because of the new seating arrangement.
E、The standard tables being replaced by tall tables would otherwise have to be replaced with new standard tables at a greater expense.

文章：
| Line | Jon Clark’s study of the effect of the modernization |
| of a telephone exchange on exchange maintenance | |
| work and workers is a solid contribution to a debate | |
| that encompasses two lively issues in the history and | |
| (5) | sociology of technology: technological determinism |
| and social constructivism. | |
| Clark makes the point that the characteristics of a | |
| technology have a decisive influence on job skills and | |
| work organization. Put more strongly, technology can | |
| (10) | be a primary determinant of social and managerial |
| organization. Clark believes this possibility has | |
| been obscured by the recent sociological fashion, | |
| exemplified by Braverman’s analysis, that emphasizes | |
| the way machinery reflects social choices. For | |
| (15) | Braverman, the shape of a technological system is |
| subordinate to the manager’s desire to wrest control | |
| of the labor process from the workers. Technological | |
| change is construed as the outcome of negotiations | |
| among interested parties who seek to incorporate | |
| (20) | their own interests into the design and configuration |
| of the machinery. This position represents the new | |
| mainstream called social constructivism. | |
| The constructivists gain acceptance by | |
| misrepresenting technological determinism: | |
| (25) | technological determinists are supposed to believe, |
| for example, that machinery imposes appropriate | |
| forms of order on society. The alternative to | |
| constructivism, in other words, is to view technology | |
| as existing outside society, capable of directly | |
| (30) | influencing skills and work organization. |
| Clark refutes the extremes of the constructivists | |
| by both theoretical and empirical arguments. | |
| Theoretically he defines “technology” in terms of | |
| relationships between social and technical variables. | |
| (35) | Attempts to reduce the meaning of technology to |
| cold, hard metal are bound to fail, for machinery is | |
| just scrap unless it is organized functionally and | |
| supported by appropriate systems of operation and | |
| maintenance. At the empirical level Clark shows how | |
| (40) | a change at the telephone exchange from |
| maintenance-intensive electromechanical switches | |
| to semielectronic switching systems altered work | |
| tasks, skills, training opportunities, administration, | |
| and organization of workers. Some changes Clark | |
| (45) | attributes to the particular way management and |
| labor unions negotiated the introduction of the | |
| technology, whereas others are seen as arising from | |
| the capabilities and nature of the technology itself. | |
| Thus Clark helps answer the question: “When is | |
| (50) | social choice decisive and when are the concrete |
| characteristics of technology more important?” |
题目：
Which of the following statements about Clark’s study of the telephone exchange can be inferred from information in the passage?
选项:
A、Clark’s reason for undertaking the study was to undermine Braverman’s analysis of the function of technology.
B、Clark’s study suggests that the implementation of technology should be discussed in the context of conflict between labor and management.
C、Clark examined the impact of changes in the technology of switching at the exchange in terms of overall operations and organization.
D、Clark concluded that the implementation of new switching technology was equally beneficial to management and labor.
E、Clark’s analysis of the change in switching systems applies only narrowly to the situation at the particular exchange that he studied.

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?
