单选题. ①A widespread concern in early eighteenth-century Britain that the institution of marriage was deteriorating into a mere business agreement, a cynical means of increasing wealth, was reflected in the media of the time. ②In the theater, for example, the Restoration comedy of manners, with its celebration of libertinism and portrayal of marriage as a social, and therefore artificial, institution, gave way to sentimental comedies like The Conscious Lovers, which celebrated the pure, instinctive love of its central characters while downplaying matters of wealth and status. ③New periodicals, such as the wildly popular Spectator, devoted many issues to the evils of mercenary marriages and to the glories of choosing love over money. ①However, the very popularity of such works calls into question the existence of any real trend toward mercenary marriage. ②Admittedly, the growing use and complexity of marriage settlements (the transfer of family property from one generation to the next upon a daughter's marriage) during this period meant that among the elite, at least, marriage contracts looked increasingly like business contracts. ③However, it should be noted that marriage had long been used by the elite to cement political or social bonds and to enhance family wealth.23. The primary purpose of the passage is to ______
单选题If a solid pyramid has 4 vertices and 4 faces, how many edges does the pyramid have?
单选题. ①The cycle of fluctuation in snowshoe hare populations is unusual among animal species in that it is remarkably regular—peaking every eight to eleven years—and broadly synchronized over a vast area. ②Declines from peak levels are initiated by markedly lower overwinter survival of young hares, sharp decreases in birth rates, and a declining survival rate for adult hares. ③The onset of population increases is brought about by greatly improved rates of survival and birth. ①Some biologists hypothesize that the cycle begins when peak snowshoe hare populations exceed their winter food supply; resulting malnutrition triggers a population decline. ②As hare numbers fall, the ratio of predators to hares increases, as does the impact of predation on the hare population. ③This extends the decline beyond the period of winter food shortage. ④Hare scarcity then causes predator population declines, and with fewer predators and more abundant winter food, the hare population begins another cyclic increase. ⑤The high mobility of predators responding to local differences in hare abundance contributes to interregional synchrony.33. The passage suggests that population fluctuations in many other animal species differ from those of the snowshoe hare in that population fluctuations in other species ______
单选题 ①Zora Neale Hurston's 1942 autobiography
单选题. ①Some historians have recently challenged the "party period paradigm," the view, advanced by McCormick and others, that political parties—especially the two major parties—in the United States between the years 1835 and 1900 evoked extraordinary loyalty from voters and dominated political life. ②Voss-Hubbard cites the frequency of third-party eruptions during the period as evidence of popular antipathy to the two-party regime. ③He correctly credits third parties with helping generate the nineteenth century's historically high rates of voter turnout by forcing major parties to bolster supporters' allegiance, lest minor parties siphon off their votes, and with pushing policy demands that the major parties ignored. ④Formisano stresses the pervasive record of nonpartisan and anti-party governance at the local level, and women's frequent participation in nineteenth-century public life, prior to their enfranchisement, in nonpartisan and antiparty ways as evidence of the limitations of the party period paradigm. ⑤Yet McCormick would deny that the existence of antiparty sentiment during the period undermined the paradigm, since he has always acknowledged the residual strength of such sentiment during the nineteenth century. ⑥In any case, the strength of the paradigm is its comparative thrust: the contrast it draws between the period in question and earlier and later political eras.24. The primary purpose of the passage is to ______

单选题. ①While historian Linda Nicholson sees women's participation in voluntary associations as activities consistent with the increasing relegation of women's lives to a separate, "private" sphere in nineteenth-century Europe, historian Katherine Lynch argues that these kinds of activities enabled women to join with one another and to develop a kind of shadow citizenship within civil society, if not the formal state. ②These kinds of experiences were no substitute for actual political entitlements, Lynch suggests, but they deserve more attention for their importance in helping individuals forge enduring bonds of community and identity beyond domestic life. ③Only by limiting one's notion of public life to formal political participation, she says, can one conclude that most women in Western society have ever been literally consigned to a separate or "private" sphere.31. The phrase "These kinds of experiences" in the passage refers to experiences in Lynch's view are ______
单选题16. A hoard of coins recently unearthed at an ancient Carthagian site bear an image of a face in profile with what appears to be a large mole on the cheek. Pointing out that an artist would be unlikely to include such a specific detail in a generalized portrayal of a face, some archaeologists have concluded that these coins portray an actual individual rather than an idealized type. However, this conclusion is unwarranted, since ______. Which of the following most logically completes the argument? ______
单选题15. Although many brands of gasoline are sold on Haibei Island, gasoline companies there sell all of the refined gasoline from Haibei seaport's only storage tank, which is always refilled with the same quality of gasoline. Therefore, the brands of gasoline for sale on Haibei may be different in name and price, but they are identical in quality. The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions? ______
单选题 ①As of late 1980s
单选题. ①The relevance of the literary personality—a writer's distinctive attitudes, concerns, and artistic choices—to the analysis of a literary work is being scrutinized by various schools of contemporary criticism. ②Deconstructionists view the literary personality, like the writer's biographical personality, as irrelevant. ③The proper focus of literary analysis, they argue, is a work's intertextuality (interrelationship with other texts), subtexts (unspoken, concealed, or repressed discourses), and metatexts (self-referential aspects), not a perception of a writer's verbal and aesthetic "fingerprints." ④New historicists also devalue the literary personality, since, in their emphasis on a work's historical contexts, they credit a writer with only those insights and ideas that were generally available when the writer lived. ⑤However, to readers interested in literary detective work-say scholars of classical (Greek and Roman) literature who wish to reconstruct damaged texts or deduce a work's authorship—the literary personality sometimes provide vital clues.31. The passage is primarily concerned with ______
