单选题Reading Comprehension The stability that had marked the Iroquois Confederacy's generally pro-British position was shattered with the overthrow of James Ⅱ in 1688, Line. the colonial uprisings that followed in (5) Massachusetts, New York, and Maryland, and the commencement of King William's War against Louis XIV of France. The increasing French threat to English hegemony in the interior of North America was signalized by French-led or (10) French-inspired attacks on the Iroquois and on outlying colonial settlements in New York and New England. The high point of the Iroquois response was the spectacular raid of August 5, 1689, in which the Iroquois virtually wiped out (15) the French village of Lachine, just outside Montreal. A counterraid by the French on the English village of Schenectady in March, 1690, instilled an appropriate measure of fear among the English and their Iroquois allies. (2O) The Iroquois position at the end of the war, which was formalized by treaties made during the summer of 1701 with the British and the French, and which was maintained throughout most of the eighteenth century, was one of "aggressive neu- (25) trality" between the two competing European powers. Under the new system the Iroquois ini- tiated a peace policy toward the "far Indians," tightened their control over the nearby tribes, and induced both English and French to support their (30) neutrality toward the European powers by appro- priate gifts and concessions. By holding the balance of power in the sparsely settled borderlands between English and French settlements, and by their willingness to (35) use their power against one or the other nation if not appropriately treated, the Iroquois played the game of European power politics with effective- ness. The system broke down, however, after the French became convinced that the Iroquois were (40) compromising the system in favor of the English and launched a full-scale attempt to establish French physical and juridical presence in the Ohio Valley, the heart of the borderlands long claimed by the Iroquois. As a consequence of the (45) ensuing Great War for Empire, in which Iroquois neutrality was dissolved and European influence moved closer, the play-off system lost its efficacy and a system of direct bargaining supplanted it.

单选题The opposite of adaptive divergence is an interesting and fairly common expression of evo- lution. Whereas related groups of organisms take Line on widely different characters in becoming (5) adapted to unlike environments in the case of adaptive divergence, we find that unrelated groups of organisms exhibit adaptive convergence when they adopt similar modes of life or become suited for special sorts of environments. For (10) example, invertebrate marine animals living firm- ly attached to the sea bottom or to some foreign object tend to develop a subcylindrical or conical form. This is illustrated by coral individuals, by many sponges, and even by the diminutive tubes (15) of bryozoans. Adaptive convergence in taking this coral-like form is shown by some brachiopods and pelecypods that grew in fixed position. More readily appreciated is the streamlined fitness of most fishes for moving swiftly through water; (20) they have no neck, the contour of the body is smoothly curved so as to give minimum resis- tance, and the chief propelling organ is a power- ful tail fin. The fact that some fossil reptiles (ichthyosaurs) and modern mammals (whales, (25) dolphins) are wholly fishlike in form is an expression of adaptive convergence, for these air- breathing reptiles and mammals, which are highly efficient swimmers, are not closely related to fishes. Unrelated or distantly related organisms (30) that develop similarity of form are sometimes designated as homeomorphs (having the same form).
