题目：

The population of desert tortoises in Targland's Red Desert has declined, partly because they are captured for sale as pets and partly because people riding all-terrain vehicles have damaged their habitat.  Targland plans to halt this population decline by blocking the current access routes into the desert and announcing new regulations to allow access only on foot.  Targland's officials predict that these measures will be adequate, since it is difficult to collect the tortoises without a vehicle.
 
Which of the following would it be most important to establish in order to evaluate the officials' prediction?

选项:

A、Whether possessing the tortoises as pets remains legally permissible in Targland
B、Whether Targland is able to enforce the regulations with respect to all-terrain vehicle entry at points other than the current access routes
C、Whether the Red Desert tortoises are most active during the day or at night
D、Whether people who travel on foot in the Red Desert often encounter the tortoises
E、Whether the Targland authorities held public hearings before restricting entry by vehicle into the Red Desert

文章：

Line         Among the myths taken as fact by the
  environmental managers of most corporations is
  the belief that environmental regulations affect all
  competitors in a given industry uniformly. In reality,
(5) regulatory costs—and therefore compliance—
  fall unevenly, economically disadvantaging some
  companies and benefiting others. For example, a
  plant situated near a number of larger
  noncompliant competitors is less likely to attract
(10) the attention of local regulators than is an isolated
  plant, and less attention means lower costs.
       Additionally, large plants can spread compliance
  costs such as waste treatment across a larger
  revenue base; on the other hand, some smaller
(15) plants may not even be subject to certain
  provisions such as permit or reporting
  requirements by virtue of their size. Finally, older
  production technologies often continue to generate
  toxic wastes that were not regulated when the
(20) technology was first adopted. New regulations
  have imposed extensive compliance costs on
  companies still using older industrial coal-fired
  burners that generate high sulfur dioxide and
  nitrogen oxide outputs, for example, whereas new
(25) facilities generally avoid processes that would
  create such waste products. By realizing that they
  have discretion and that not all industries are
  affected equally by environmental regulation,
  environmental managers can help their companies
(30) to achieve a competitive edge by anticipating
  regulatory pressure and exploring all possibilities for
  addressing how changing regulations will affect their
  companies specifically.


题目：

According to the passage, which of the following statements about sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide outputs is true?

选项:

A、Older production technologies cannot be adapted so as to reduce production of these outputs as waste products.
B、Under the most recent environmental regulations, industrial plants are no longer permitted to produce these outputs.
C、Although these outputs are environmentally hazardous, some plants still generate them as waste products despite the high compliance costs they impose.
D、Many older plants have developed innovative technological processes that reduce the amounts of these outputs generated as waste products.
E、Since the production processes that generate these outputs are less costly than alternative processes, these less expensive processes are sometimes adopted despite their acknowledged environmental hazards.

C

题目：

A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price.  Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product.  But large profits on the new product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product's capabilities.  Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.
 
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

选项:

A、The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.
B、The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.
C、The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.
D、The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.
E、The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.

文章：

Two works published in 1984 demonstrate contrasting approaches to writing the history of United States women. Buel and Buel’s biography of Mary Fish (1736–1818) makes little effort to place her story in the context of recent historiography on women. Lebsock, meanwhile, attempts not only to write the history of women in one southern community, but also to redirect two decades of historiographical debate as to whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. Although both books offer the reader the opportunity to assess this controversy regarding women’s status, only Lebsock’s deals with it directly. She examines several different aspects of women’s status, helping to refine and resolve the issues. She concludes that while women gained autonomy in some areas, especially in the private sphere, they lost it in many aspects of the economic sphere. More importantly, she shows that the debate itself depends on frame of reference: in many respects, women lost power in relation to men, for example, as certain jobs (delivering babies, supervising schools) were taken over by men. Yet women also gained power in comparison with their previous status, owning a higher proportion of real estate, for example. In contrast, Buel and Buel’s biography provides ample raw material for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the eighteenth century but does not give the reader much guidance in analyzing the controversy over women’s status.

题目：

With which of the following characterizations of Lebsock’s contribution to the controversy concerning women’s status in the nineteenth-century United States would the author of the passage be most likely to agree?

选项:

A、Lebsock has studied women from a formerly neglected region and time period.Lebsock has demonstrated the importance of frame of reference in answering questions about women's status.
B、Lebsock has addressed the controversy by using women's current status as a frame of reference.
C、Lebsock has analyzed statistics about occupations and property that were previously ignored.
D、Lebsock has applied recent historiographical methods to the biography of a nineteenth century woman.

题目：

A sudden increase in the production of elephant ivory artifacts on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa occurred in the tenth century.  Historians explain this increase as the result of an area opening up as a new source of ivory and argue on this basis that the important medieval trade between North Africa and East Africa began at this period.
 
Each of following, if true, provides some support for the historians' account described above EXCEPT:

选项:

A、In East Africa gold coins from Mediterranean North Africa have been found at a tenth-century site but at no earlier sites.
B、The many surviving letters of pre-tenth-century North African merchants include no mention of business transactions involving East Africa.
C、Excavations in East Africa reveal a tenth-century change in architectural style to reflect North African patterns.
D、Documents from Mediterranean Europe and North Africa that date back earlier than the tenth century show knowledge of East African animals.
E、East African carvings in a style characteristic of the tenth century depict seagoing vessels very different from those used by local sailors but of a type common in the Mediterranean.

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.
