单选题. ①Catherine Stimpson calls for a reassessment of literary merit based on affective standards—on how literary works make readers feel—rather than on the aesthetic standards traditionally used to define the canon, the body of literary works generally accepted as "great". ②Stimpson advocates an alterative para canon for literary works, such as Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, because she believes such works have been unjustifiably neglected by unsympathetic scholars. ③According to Stimpson, a paracanonical work may or may not have literary value by traditional standards; rather, its worth consists in its "capacity to inspire love." ①Elizabeth Barnes criticizes Stimpson's approach as subjective and therefore uncritical. ②"Although Stimpson never actually defines 'love,' she implies that a lovable work is one that so engages the reader that its worldview becomes inseparable from the reader's own" (Stimpson acknowledges that the values reflected in Little Women may have subconsciously influenced her invention of the para canon). ③For Barnes, the conflation of ethics and aesthetics implicit in Stimpson's approach (in which "good" can refer to something morally sound and/or above average in quality) demonstrates the ambiguity inherent in such concepts as goodness and love.1. According to the passage, Stimpson advocated the creation of a paracanon because she ______
单选题22. The hulls of the deep-sea submersibles of the future will be constructed from glass, not from special steel or aluminum alloys. The reason is that metals have a grainy microscopic structure, which makes metal hulls susceptible to cracking between the grains under deep- sea pressures. Glass hulls are immune to this problem because glass, though a solid in appearance, can be considered a fluid because it flows when under pressure. Which of the following can be most reliably inferred from the passage above? ______

单选题. ① There have been numerous well-documented extinctions of indigenous species caused by the introduction of non-indigenous predators and pathogens. ②However, surprisingly few extinctions of indigenous species can be attributed to competition from introduced species. ③For example, during the past 400 years, 4,000 plant species have been introduced into North America, and these non-indigenous plants currently account for nearly 20 percent of North America's plant species. ④Yet that no evidence exists that any indigenous North American plant species became extinct as a result of competition from new species could mean that such extinctions take longer to occur than scientists initially believed or, alternatively, that extinctions are rarely caused by competition from non-indigenous species.28. The passage is concerned primarily with ______
单选题How many positive integers less than 100 are NOT equal to squares of integers?
单选题10. Orcas are small whales that generally travel in groups called pods. Orcas that feed on marine mammals travel in very small pods, while those that feed on fish travel in relatively large pods. Since a larger pod has an increased collective ability to locate prey, it is likely that orcas that feed on mammals travel in small pods only because the mammals that they hunt can more easily detect a large pod and escape it. Which of the following, if true, most strongly indicates that the conclusion is too sweeping? ______
单选题24. False rumors of fiscal improprieties damage the reputation of a bank. If management does not attempt to refute these rumors, they will circulate and eventually destroy customer confidence. But if management makes an effort to refute them, the refutation will raise more suspicions than it allays. If all of the statements above are true, which of the following must on the basis of them be true? ______
单选题. ①Attempts to identify New Guinean's hunter-gatherers face the well-known difficulty of defining what constitutes a hunter-gather group. ②According to the common definition, hunter-gathers are those who subsist by hunting wild animals and gathering wild plants. ③Yet those criteria beg numerous questions, including the issue of what constitutes "wild". ④The very presence on a landscape of humans who are consumers affects food resources, blurring the lines between wild and domesticated and, hence between hunting and pastoralism, and between gathering and cultivation. ⑤Moreover, it is unclear how groups should be classified that are hunter-gatherers in their procurement strategies but that make use of pastoralism and cultivation in their consumption patterns––subsisting, for example, by trading wild foods to neighbors in return for domesticated crops.15. The primary purpose of the passage is to ______
单选题When - of a certain number is subtracted from the number and then this difference is added with 20, the result is the original number. What is the original number?
单选题. ①Most seismologists assume that following a major earthquake and its aftershocks, the fault (a break in Earth's crust where pressure can trigger an earthquake) will remain quiet until stresses have time to rebuild, typically over hundreds or thousands of years. ②Recent evidence of subtle interactions between earthquakes may overturn this assumption, however. ③According to the stress-triggering hypothesis, faults are unexpectedly responsive to subtle stresses they acquire as neighboring faults shift. ④Rather than simply dissipating, stress relieved during an earthquake travels along the fault, concentrating in sites nearby; even the smallest additional stresses may then trigger another quake along the fault or on a nearby fault. ⑤Although scientists have long viewed such subtle interactions as nonexistent, the hypothesis has explained the location and frequency of earthquakes following several destructive quakes in California, Japan, and Turkey.39. According to the passage, which of the following is an assumption that may be invalidated by recent seismological evidence? ______

单选题. ① MacArthur and Wilson suggested that the biodiversity of an island will vary in direct proportion to a function of the island's size (i.e., larger islands can support a greater number of species) and in inverse proportion to a function of its distance from the mainland (i.e., many remote islands will tend to support fewer species). ②Reduced biodiversity in an island context is likely to require significant adaptation on the part of colonizing human populations. ③Evans argues that this limitation makes islands ideal laboratories for the study of human adaptations to the natural environment, whilst Renfrew and Wagstaff, in the introduction to their study of Melos, focus on this limitation in biodiversity as a "significant characteristic of the island ecosystem." ④For human communities, however, this limitation may potentially be offset by other factors. ⑤The reduced biodiversity of an island ecosystem applies only to terrestrial resources: the resources of the sea will be as rich as on any other coastal area, and may be equally important to human communities. ⑥A small island such as Malta or Melos allows all communities direct access to the sea, providing an important nutritional "safety net," as well as an element of dietary diversity, which may actually give island communities an advantage over their landlocked counterparts. ⑦Islands may also have specific nonbiological resources (such as obsidian on Melos), which may be used in exchange with communities on other islands and adjacent mainlands.35. The primary purpose of the passage is to ______
单选题18. Biologists studying wild monkeys sometimes need the genetic material DNA from a particular monkey to determine the animal's parentage. Until recently, DNA could be extracted only from blood. Collecting a blood sample required tranquilizing the donor animal. Now DNA can be extracted from hair. Monkeys shed large quantities of hair in places where they sleep. Therefore, researchers will now be able to determine the parentage of individual monkeys from DNA without tranquilizing the monkeys. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? ______

单选题. ①One of the reasons why many early British colonies in North America failed amid the New World's abundance was that the settlers' mindset prevented them from living like the native inhabitants. ②From Native Americans, the settlers learned such skills as building brushwood weirs to trap fish, but they did not adopt the real key to success: mobility. ③The whole intellectual foundation of European civilization was fixity—a worldview profoundly different from that of Native Americans, who moved in response to changing food resources. ④Settlers were drawn to North America by tales of its extraordinary abundance, not realizing that abundance is seasonal. ⑤Culture and ecological knowledge allowed Native Americans to exploit different food sources at different time of year.3. The author suggests which of the following about the early British colonies in North America that failed? ______
单选题. ①Ralph Ellison was passionately interested in the visual arts. ②He immersed himself in Harlem's art scene in the 1930s, even apprenticing with sculptor Richmond Barthé for a time. ③Yet he was wary of projects aiming to provide a visual rendering of his novel Invisible Man. ④He reluctantly allowed Franklin Library to publish two illustrated versions of the novel but found the results disappointing and repeatedly rejected proposed film versions of the book. ⑤Despite his involvement in visual arts, Ellison insisted that only language could capture the complexity of American identity. ⑥This complexity consisted of the tension arising from the collision of the United States' written ideals, as outlined in the founding documents, and the historical and contemporary experiences molding the national consciousness.27. It can be inferred that the author mentions Ellison's apprenticeship with Richmond Barthé primarily in order to ______
