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.

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

C

文章：

The United States government has a long-standing policy of using federal funds to keep small business viable.  The Small Business Act of 1953 authorized the Small Business Administration (SBA) to enter into contracts with government agencies having procurement powers and to arrange for fulfillment of these contracts by awarding subcontracts to small businesses.  In the mid-1960's, during the war on poverty years, Congress hoped to encourage minority entrepreneurs by directing such funding to minority businesses.  At first this funding was directed toward minority entrepreneurs with very low incomes.  A 1967 amendment to the Economic Opportunity Act directed the SBA to pay special attention to minority-owned businesses located in urban or rural areas characterized by high proportions of unemployed or low-income individuals.  Since then, the answer given to the fundamental question of who the recipients should be--the most economically disadvantaged or those with the best prospects for business success--has changed, and the social goals of the programs have shifted, resulting in policy changes.
 
The first shift occurred during the early 1970's.  While the goal of assisting the economically disadvantaged entrepreneur remained, a new goal emerged:  to remedy the effects of past discrimination.  In fact, in 1970 the SBA explicitly stated that their main goal was to increase the number of minority-owned businesses.  At the time, minorities constituted seventeen percent of the nation's population, but only four percent of the nation's self-employed.  This ownership gap was held to be the result of past discrimination.  Increasing the number of minority-owned firms was seen as a way to remedy this problem.  In that context, providing funding to minority entrepreneurs in middle- and high-income brackets seemed justified.
 
In the late 1970's, the goals of minority-business funding programs shifted again.  At the Minority Business Development Agency, for example, the goal of increasing numbers of minority-owned firms was supplanted by the goal of creating and assisting more minority-owned substantive firms with future growth potential.  Assisting manufacturers or wholesalers became far more important than assisting small service businesses.  Minority-business funding programs were now justified as instruments for economic development, particularly for creating jobs in minority communities of high unemployment.

题目：

According to the passage, in 1970 funding to minority entrepreneurs focused primarily on which of the following?

选项:

A、Alleviating chronic unemployment in urban areas
B、Narrowing the ownership gap
C、Assisting minority-owned businesses with growth potential
D、Awarding subcontracts to businesses that encouraged community development
E、Targeting the most economically disadvantaged minority-owned businesses

B

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?
