文章：

Line         Manufacturers have to do more than build large
  manufacturing plants to realize economies of scale.
  It is true that as the capacity of a manufacturing
  operation rises, costs per unit of output fall as plant
(5) size approaches “minimum efficient scale,” where the
  cost per unit of output reaches a minimum,
  determined roughly by the state of existing technology
  and size of the potential market. However, minimum
  efficient scale cannot be fully realized unless a steady
(10) “throughput” (the flow of materials through a plant) is
  attained. The throughput needed to maintain the
  optimal scale of production requires careful
  coordination not only of the flow of goods through the
  production process, but also of the flow of input from
(15) suppliers and the flow of output to wholesalers and
  final consumers. If throughput falls below a critical
  point, unit costs rise sharply and profits disappear. A
  manufacturer’s fixed costs and “sunk costs” (original
  capital investment in the physical plant) do not
(20) decrease when production declines due to inadequate
  supplies of raw materials, problems on the factory
  floor, or inefficient sales networks. Consequently,
  potential economies of scale are based on the
  physical and engineering characteristics of the
(25) production facilities—that is, on tangible capital—but
  realized economies of scale are operational and
  organizational, and depend on knowledge, skills,
  experience, and teamwork—that is, on organized
  human capabilities, or intangible capital.
(30)      The importance of investing in intangible capital
  becomes obvious when one looks at what happens in
  new capital-intensive manufacturing industries. Such
  industries are quickly dominated, not by the first firms
  to acquire technologically sophisticated plants of
(35) theoretically optimal size, but rather by the first to
  exploit the full potential of such plants. Once some
  firms achieve this, a market becomes extremely hard
  to enter. Challengers must construct comparable
  plants and do so after the first movers have already
(40) worked out problems with suppliers or with new
  production processes. Challengers must create
  distribution networks and marketing systems in
  markets where first movers have all the contacts and
  know-how. And challengers must recruit management
(45) teams to compete with those that have already
  mastered these functional and strategic activities.


题目：

The passage suggests that in order for a manufacturer in a capital-intensive industry to have a decisive advantage over competitors making similar products, the manufacturer must

选项:

A、be the first in the industry to build production facilities of theoretically optimal size
B、make every effort to keep fixed and sunk costs as low as possible
C、be one of the first to operate its manufacturing plants at minimum efficient scale
D、produce goods of higher quality than those produced by direct competitors
E、stockpile raw materials at production sites in order to ensure a steady flow of such materials

文章：

Conventional wisdom has it that large deficits in the United States budget cause interest rates to rise.  Two main arguments are given for this claim.  According to the first, as the deficit increases, the government will borrow more to make up for the ensuing shortage of funds.  Consequently, it is argued, if both the total supply of credit (money available for borrowing) and the amount of credit sought by nongovernment borrowers remain relatively stable, as is often supposed, then the price of credit (the interest rate) will increase.  That this is so is suggested by the basic economic principle that if supplies of a commodity (here, credit) remain fixed and demand for that commodity increases, its price will also increase.  The second argument supposes that the government will tend to finance its deficits by increasing the money supply with insufficient regard for whether there is enough room for economic growth to enable such an increase to occur without causing inflation.  It is then argued that financiers will expect the deficit to cause inflation and will raise interest rates, anticipating that because of inflation the money they lend will be worth less when paid back.
 
Unfortunately for the first argument, it is unreasonable to assume that nongovernment borrowing and the supply of credit will remain relatively stable.  Nongovernment borrowing sometimes decreases.  When it does, increased government borrowing will not necessarily push up the total demand for credit.  Alternatively, when credit availability increases, for example through greater foreign lending to the United States, then interest rates need not rise, even if both private and government borrowing increase.
 
The second argument is also problematic.  Financing the deficit by increasing the money supply should cause inflation only when there is not enough room for economic growth.  Currently, there is no reason to expect deficits to cause inflation.  However, since many financiers believe that deficits ordinarily create inflation, then admittedly they will be inclined to raise interest rates to offset mistakenly anticipated inflation.  This effect, however, is due to ignorance, not to the deficit itself, and could be lessened by educating financiers on this issue.

题目：

It can be inferred from the passage that proponents of the second argument would most likely agree with which of the following statements?

选项:

A、The United States government does not usually care whether or not inflation increases.
B、People in the United States government generally know very little about economics.
C、The United States government is sometimes careless in formulating its economic policies.
D、The United States government sometimes relies too much on the easy availability of foreign credit.
E、The United States government increases the money supply whenever there is enough room for growth to support the increase.

题目：

Certain groups of Asian snails include both “left-handed” and “right-handed” species, with shells coiling to the left and right, respectively. Some left-handed species have evolved from right-handed ones. Also, researchers found that snail-eating snakes in the same habitat have asymmetrical jaws, allowing them to grasp right-handed snail shells more easily. If these snakes ate more right-handed snails over time, this would have given left-handed snails an evolutionary advantage over right-handed snails, with the left-handed snails eventually becoming a new species. Thus, the snakes’ asymmetrical jaws probably helped drive the emergence of the left-handed snail species.

Which of the following would, if true, most strengthen the argument that asymmetrical snake jaws helped drive left-handed snail evolution?

选项:

A、In one snake species, the snakes with asymmetrical jaws eat snails, while the snakes with symmetrical jaws do not eat snails.
B、Some species of Asian snails contain either all right-handed snails, or all left-handed snails.
C、Anatomical differences prevent left-handed snails from mating easily with right-handed snails.
D、Some right-handed snails in this habitat have shells with a very narrow opening that helps prevent snakes from extracting the snails from inside their shells.
E、Experiments show that the snail-eating snakes in this habitat fail more often in trying to eat left-handed snails than in trying to eat right-handed snails.

题目：

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
 
A certain tropical island received food donations in the form of powdered milk for distribution to its poorest residents, who were thought to be malnourished.  Subsequently, the rate of liver cancers among those islanders increased sharply.  The donated milk was probably to blame: recent laboratory research on rats has shown that rats briefly exposed to the substances aflatoxin tend to develop liver cancer when fed casein, a milk protein.  This result is relevant because _______.

选项:

A、in the tropics, peanuts, a staple of these island residents, support a mold growth that produces aflatoxin
B、the liver is more sensitive to carcinogens, of which aflatoxin may be one, than most other bodily organs

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?
