多选题{{U}}The common belief{{/U}} of some linguists that each language is a perfect vehicle for the thoughts of the nation speaking it is in some ways the exact counterpart of the conviction of the Manchester school of economics that supply and demand will regulate everything for the best. {{U}}Just as{{/U}} economists were blind to the numerous cases in which the law of supply and demand left actual wants unsatisfied, so also many linguists are deaf to those instances in which the very nature of a language calls forth misunderstandings in everyday conversation, and in which, consequently, a word has to be modified or defined in order to present the idea intended by the speaker:. "{{U}}He took his stick—no, not John's, but his own{{/U}}."

多选题Of Homer's two epic poems, the Odyssey has always been more popular than the Iliad, perhaps because it includes more features of mythology that are accessible to readers. {{U}}Its subject (to use Maynard Mack's categories) is "life-as-spectacle", for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without; the tragic Iliad, however, presents "life-as-experience": readers are asked to identify_ with the mind of Achilles, whose motivations render him a not particularly likable hero.{{/U}} In addition, the Iliad, more than the Odyssey, suggests the complexity of the gods' involvement in human actions, and to the extent that modem readers find this complexity a needless complication, the Iliad is less satisfying than the Odyssey, with its simpler scheme of divine justice. Finally, since the Iliad presents a historically verifiable action, Troy's siege, the poem raises historical questions that are absent from the Odyssey's blithely imaginative world. It can be inferred from the passage that a reader of the Iliad is likely to have trouble identifying with the poem's hero for which of the following reasons? A. The hero is eventually revealed to be unheroic. B. The hero can be observed by the reader only from without. C. The hero's psychology is not historically verifiable. D.

The relatively greater uniformity among the existing brachiopod species may offer greater protection from environmental change and hence may reflect highly successful adaptive behavior. It can be inferred from the passage that the conventional view is that a large diversity among species of a given class of organisms typically leads to which of the following? A. Difficulty in classification. B. A discontinuous fossil record. C. A greater chance of survival over time. D. Numerical abundance. E. A longer fife span.
