单选题Of the following descriptions of natural processes, which suggest that the organisms involved depend on the activator-inhibitor mechanism described through Turing's mathematics? Ⅰ. Pigeons are scattered by a random storm as they make a migration, causing their populations to live in seasonal isolation. Ⅱ. Butterfly populations tend to grow unchecked in certain ecosystems, having few natural enemies. Ⅲ. Lack of food tends to drive many arctic rabbit from the burrows, exposing them to their predators and thereby reducing their population.

单选题Sending a robot into space to gather information is certainly a viable option, Line but should be regarded only as that--an option. Even the most technologically advanced robots cannot and should not replace manned missions to outer space. Certainly it is cheaper and less dangerous to launch a computer probe (5) that can gather reams of data, but often the information obtained by a machine serves only to produce more questions than it answers. Therefore, the space program should allow manned missions to follow up on those initial information- gathering robotic ventures. While manned missions are more costly than are unmanned missions, they (10) are also more successful. Robots and astronauts use much of the same equipment in space, but a human is much more capable of calibrating those instruments correctly and placing them in appropriate and useful positions. A computer is often neither as sensitive nor as accurate as a human in managing the same terrain or environmental circumstances. Robots are also not as equipped as humans to (15) solve problems as they arise, and robots often collect data that is not helpful or even desired. A human, on the other hand, can make instant decisions about what to explore further and what to ignore. While technological advances have allowed us to make incredible strides in space exploration, they still cannot match the power of the human brain. This (20) "supercomputer" is necessary in order to maintain a space program that can truly advance to the next level.
单选题For generations, Native Americans used myths and legends to explain the mysterious world around them. One such etiological myth originated with the Cherokee. According to the tale, at one time, far in the past, animals, birds, fishes, and even insects were able to communicate with one another. When humans arrived, however, life became more difficult because the creatures' habitats began to shrink. In order to protect themselves, the creatures decided to introduce disease to humans. The plant world, however, took sympathy upon the Cherokee and so provided a remedy for each of the diseases created by the creatures. It was because of this, says the legend, that the Cherokee turned to plants for antidotes and medicines for illness.
