文章：

Line         There are recent reports of apparently drastic
  declines in amphibian populations and of extinctions
  of a number of the world’s endangered amphibian
  species. These declines, if real, may be signs of a
(5) general trend toward extinction, and many
  environmentalists have claimed that immediate
  environmental action is necessary to remedy
  this “amphibian crisis,” which, in their view, is an
  indicator of general and catastrophic environmental
(10) degradation due to human activity.
       To evaluate these claims, it is useful to make a
  preliminary distinction that is far too often ignored.
  A declining population should not be confused with
  an endangered one. An endangered population is
(15) always rare, almost always small, and, by definition,
  under constant threat of extinction even without a
  proximate cause in human activities. Its disappearance,
  however unfortunate, should come as no great
  surprise. Moreover, chance events—which may
(20) indicate nothing about the direction of trends in
  population size—may lead to its extinction. The
  probability of extinction due to such random factors
  depends on the population size and is independent of
  the prevailing direction of change in that size.
(25)      For biologists, population declines are potentially
  more worrisome than extinctions. Persistent
  declines, especially in large populations, indicate a
  changed ecological context. Even here, distinctions
  must again be made among declines that are only
(30) apparent (in the sense that they are part of habitual
  cycles or of normal fluctuations), declines that take
  a population to some lower but still acceptable
  level, and those that threaten extinction (e.g., by
  taking the number of individuals below the minimum
(35) viable population). Anecdotal reports of population
  decreases cannot distinguish among these
  possibilities, and some amphibian populations have
  shown strong fluctuations in the past.
       It is indisputably true that there is simply not
(40) enough long-term scientific data on amphibian
  populations to enable researchers to identify real
  declines in amphibian populations. Many fairly
  common amphibian species declared all but extinct
  after severe declines in the 1950s and 1960s
(45) have subsequently recovered, and so might
  the apparently declining populations that have
  generated the current appearance of an amphibian
  crisis. Unfortunately, long-term data will not soon
  be forthcoming, and postponing environmental
(50) action while we wait for it may doom species and
  whole ecosystems to extinction.

题目：

Because postage rates are rising, Home Decorator magazine plans to maximize its profits by reducing by one half the number of issues it publishes each year.  The quality of articles, the number of articles published per year, and the subscription price will not change.  Market research shows that neither subscribers nor advertisers will be lost if the magazine's plan is instituted.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest evidence that the magazine's profits are likely to decline if the plan is instituted?

选项:

A、With the new postage rates, a typical issue under the proposed plan would cost about one-third more to mail than a typical current issue would.
B、The majority of the magazine's subscribers are less concerned about a possible reduction in the quantity of the magazine's articles than about a possible loss of the current high quality of its articles.
C、Many of the magazine's long-time subscribers would continue their subscriptions even if the subscription price were increased.
D、Most of the advertisers that purchase advertising space in the magazine will continue to spend the same amount on advertising per issue as they have in the past.
E、Production costs for the magazine are expected to remain stable.

题目：

Unprecedented industrial growth in the country of Remo has created serious environmental problems because factories there lack adequate pollution-control systems.  Remo is developing a clean growth plan that includes environmental regulations that will require the installation of such systems.  Since no companies in Remo currently produce pollution-control systems, the plan, if implemented, will create significant opportunities for foreign exporters to market pollution-control systems.
 
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

选项:

A、The clean growth plan will provide tax incentives for local businesses to develop and manufacture pollution-control devices.
B、Foreign exporters would provide factory-trained technicians to maintain the pollution-control systems sold to Remo.
C、Industrial lobbyists sponsored by local businesses in Remo are trying to prevent the implementation of the government regulations.
D、The regulations that Remo plans to implement are much less strict than those in neighboring nations.
E、Pollution in Remo has caused serious health problems for workers, contributing to a significant increase in the number of workdays lost to illness.

题目：

Enforcement of local speed limits through police monitoring has proven unsuccessful in the town of Ardane. In many nearby towns, speed humps (raised areas of pavement placed across residential streets, about 300 feet apart) have reduced traffic speeds on residential streets by 20 to 25 percent. In order to reduce traffic speed and thereby enhance safety in residential neighborhoods, Ardane's transportation commission plans to install multiple speed humps in those neighborhoods.

Which of the following, if true, identifies a potentially serious drawback to the plan for installing speed humps in Ardane?

选项:

A、On residential streets without speed humps, many vehicles travel at speeds more than 25 percent above the posted speed limit.
B、Because of their high weight, emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances must slow almost to a stop at speed humps.
C、The residential speed limit in Ardane is higher than that of the nearby towns where speed humps were installed.
D、Motorists who are not familiar with the streets in Ardane's residential districts would be likely to encounter the speed humps unawares unless warned by signs and painted indicators.
E、Bicyclists generally prefer that speed humps be constructed so as to leave a space on the side of the road where bicycles can travel without going over the humps.

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：

It can be inferred that the "ownership gap" (see highlighted text) would be narrowed if which of the following were to occur?

选项:

A、Minority entrepreneurs received a percentage of government contracts equal to that received by nonminority entrepreneurs.
B、Middle- and high-income minority entrepreneurs gave more assistance to their low-income counterparts in the business community.
C、Minority entrepreneurs hired a percentage of minority employees equal to the percentage of minority residents in their own communities.
D、The percentage of self-employed minority persons rose to more than ten percent of all self-employed persons.
E、Seventeen percent of all persons employed in small businesses were self-employed.

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?
