第一篇：
Biologists have long debated about whether egg production in birds is biologically highly costly, some theorizing that egg production is energetically or nutritionally demanding. Lack, however, suggested that clutch size--the number of eggs a bird lays per breeding cycle-- is far below the potential limit of egg production. He suggested that clutch size had instead evolved in relation to the number of young that the parents could successfully rear. Subsequently, most studies focused on limitations operating during chick rearing, particularly among altricial species (species in which the parents feed their young in the nest). Lack later recognized that in precocial species (species in which young feed themselves), clutch size might be explained by different factors -- the availability of food for egg-laying females, for example.
1. The passage suggests that biologists who say egg production in birds is biologically highly costly would agree that clutch size is determined primarily by
A. The nutritional and energy demands of egg production.
B. The number of young that the parents can rear successfully.
C. Reproductive limitations operating during chick rearing.
D. The availability of food for newly hatched chicks.
E. The differences between altricial and precocial species.
参考答案：A. 参考第一句话。
2. Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
The passage suggests that Lack would agree with which of the following statements about factors affecting clutch size in birds?
A. In altricial species, clutch size is determined primarily by factors operating after eggs are laid.
B. In precocial species, clutch size is determined primarily by factors operating after eggs are laid.
C. In many bird species, clutch size generally remains well below the potential limit of egg production.
参考答案： AC.

第二篇：
There has always been controversy over the nature of poetic language. To some, poetic language should be special, removed from the language of everyday (thus, the dictum, ‘The language of the age is never the language of poetry’). To others, it should be closely in touch with everyday, or, perhaps, be ‘current language heightened.’
To Ralph Waldo Emerson, the whole language is in any case ‘fossil poetry.’ Statements of this kind to some extent miss the point, which is to stress the enormous range of linguistic expression that is found under the heading poetry. At one extreme, there are poems that are as far removed from everyday speech as it is possible to imagine; at the other, there are poems that, if it were not for the division into lines, would closely resemble prose.
本文比较了两种关于诗歌语言的观点，一种就是诗歌语言来自于日常生活，另一种就是远离生活。
1. It can be inferred from Emerson’s quote that he implied which of the following?
A. Poetry has influenced colloquial speech.
B. All language eventually becomes archaic.
C. Language that is too far removed from everyday speech becomes meaningless.
D. The range of linguistic expression is vast.
E. In most societies exists a disconnection between poetry and everyday speech.
答案：A。
艾默生认为诗歌的语言与生活密切相关。The whole language is in any case ‘fossil poetry’, 即整个语言体系都是古代的诗歌演化来的。故选A。
2. “As far removed from daily speech as possible” most closely parallels which of the following?
A. “poems…would closely resemble prose”
B. “Current language heightened”
C. “fossil poetry”
D. “the enormous range of linguistic expression”
E. “The language of the age is never the language of poetry”
答案： E。
远离生活。E表达了此意。
