Line        Resin is a plant secretion that hardens when
 exposed to air; fossilized resin is called amber.
 Although Pliny in the first century recognized that
 amber was produced from “marrow discharged by
(5)trees,” amber has been widely misunderstood to be
 a semiprecious gem and has even been described
 in mineralogy textbooks. Confusion also persists
 surrounding the term “resin,” which was defined
 before rigorous chemical analyses were available.
(10)Resin is often confused with gum, a substance
 produced in plants in response to bacterial infections,
 and with sap, an aqueous solution transported
 through certain plant tissues. Resin differs from both
 gum and sap in that scientists have not determined a
(15)physiological function for resin.
      In the 1950s, entomologists posited that resin
 may function to repel or attract insects. Fraenkel
 conjectured that plants initially produced resin in
 nonspecific chemical responses to insect attack
(20)and that, over time, plants evolved that produced
 resin with specific repellent effects. But some insect
 species, he noted, might overcome the repellent
 effects, actually becoming attracted to the resin.
 This might induce the insects to feed on those
(25)plants or aid them in securing a breeding site.
 Later researchers suggested that resin mediates
 the complex interdependence, or “coevolution,” of
 plants and insects over time. Such ideas led to the
 development of the specialized discipline of chemical
(30)ecology, which is concerned with the role of plant
 chemicals in interactions with other organisms and
 with the evolution and ecology of plant antiherbivore
 chemistry (plants' chemical defenses against attack
 by herbivores such as insects).

文章：

    When the history of women began to receive focused attention in the 1970', Eleanor Roosevelt was one of a handful of female Americans who were well known to both historians and the general public. Despite the evidence that she had been important in socialreform circles before her husband was elected President and that she continued to advocate different causes than he did, she held a place in the public imagination largely because she was the wife of a particularly influential President. Her own activities were seen as preparing the way for her husband's election or as a complement to his programs. Even Joseph Lash's two volumes of Sympathetic biography, Eleanor and Franklin (1971) and Eleanor: The Years Alone (1972), reflected this assumption.

    Lash's biography revealed a Complicated woman who sought Through political activity both to flee inner misery and to promote causes in which she passionately believed. However, she still appeared to be an idiosyncratic figure, somehow self-generated not amenable to any generalized explanation. She emerged from the biography as a mother to the entire nation, or as a busybody. but hardly as a social type, a figure comprehensible in terms of broader social developments.

    But more recent work on the feminism of the post-suffrage years (following 1920) allows us to see Roosevelt in a different light and to bring her life into a more richly detailed context. Lois Scharf's Eleanor Roosevelt, written In 1987, depicts a generation of Privileged women, born in the late Nineteenth century and maturing in the twentieth, who made the transition from old patterns of female association to new ones. Their views and their lives were full Of contradictions. They maintained female social networks but began to integrate women into mainstream politics; they demanded equal treatment but also argued that women's maternal responsibilities made them both wards and representatives of the public interest. Thanks to Scharf and others, Roosevelt's activities—for example, her support both for labor laws protecting women and for appointments of women to high public office—have become intelligible in terms of this social context rather than as the idiosyncratic career of a famous man's wife.

题目：

The author cites which of the following as evidence against the public view of Eleanor Roosevelt held in the 1970's?

选项:

A、She had been born into a wealthy family.
B、Her political career predated the adoption of women's suffrage.
C、She continued her career in politics even After her husband's death.
D、She was one of a few female historical Figures who were well known to historians By the 1970's.
E、Her activism predated her husband's presidency and her projects differed from his.

E

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?
