Passage 3
Notable as important nineteenth-century novels by women, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights treat women very differently. Shelley produced a “masculine” text in which the fates of subordinate female characters seem entirely dependent on the actions of male heroes or anti-heroes. Bronte produced a more realistic narrative portraying a world where men battle for the favors of apparently high-spirited, independent women. Nevertheless, these two novels are alike in several crucial ways. Many readers are convinced that the compelling mysteries of each plot conceal elaborate structures of allusion and fierce, though shadowy, moral ambitions that seem to indicate metaphysical intentions, though efforts by critics to articulate these intentions have generated much controversy. Both novelists use a storytelling method that emphasizes ironic disjunctions between different perspectives on the same events as well as ironic tensions that inhere in the relationship between surface drama and concealed authorial intention, a method I call anevidentiary narrative technique．
74．Theprimary purposeof the passage is to______．
A．defenda controversial interpretation of two novels

B．explain thesource ofwidely recognized responsesto two novels

C．delineatebroaddifferences betweentwo novels

D．compare andcontrast twonovels


75．Accordingto thepassage. Frankenstein differs fromWuthering Heights in its______．
A．method ofdisguising the author's real purposes

B．controversial effecton readers

C．portrayal of men asdeterminers of thenovel's action

D．use ofmultiple narrators


76．Which of the following narrative strategies best exemplifies the “evidentiary narrative technique” mentionedin the last line?
A．Telling a story from the author's point of view in a way that implies both the author's and thereader's ironic distance from the dramatic unfoldingofevents．
B． Telling a story as a mystery in which the reader must deduce, from the conflicting evidence presented by several narrators, the moral and philosophical significance of character and event．
C．Telling a story in a way that both directs attention to the incongruities among the points of view of several characters and hints that the plot has a significance other than that suggested by its mere events．

D．Telling a story in such a way that the author's real intentions are discernible only through interpretations ofallusions toworld outsidethat of the story．


77．According to the passage, the plot ofWuthering Heights andFrankenstein are notable for their elements of______．
A．morality and metaphysics B．drama andsecrecy

C．heroismandtension D．mystery andirony


Passage 4
A mysterious phenomenon is the ability of over-water migrants to travel on course. Birds, bees, and other species can keep track of time without any sensory cues from the outside world, and such “biological clocks” clearly contribute to their “compass sense”. For example, they can use the position of the Sun or stars, along with the time of day, to find north. But compass sense alone cannot explain how birds navigate the ocean: after a flock traveling east is blown far south by a storm, it will assume the proper northeasterly course to compensate. Perhaps, some scientists thought, migrants determine their geographic position on Earth by celestial navigation, almost as human navigators use stars and planets, but this would demand of the animals a fantastic map sense. Researchers now know that some species have a magnetic sense, which might allow migrants to determine their geographic location by detecting variations in the strength of the Earth's magnetic field．
78．Themain idea of the passage is that______．
A．migration over landrequires asimpler explanation thanmigration over water does

B．themeans bywhich animals migrate over water are complex andonly partly understood

C．theability ofmigrant animals to keep track of time is related to their magnetic sense

D．knowledge of geographiclocation is essential to migrants with little or nocompass sense


79．It canbe inferred from the passage that if the flock of birds described in the passage were navigating bycompass sense alone,they would,after the storm, fly______．

A．east B．north C．northwest D．south

80．In maintaining that migrating animals would need “a fantastic map sense” to determine their geographicposition by celestial navigation, the authorintends to express______．

A．admiration for the ability of the migrants

B．skepticism about celestial navigation asan explanation

C．certaintythat the phenomenon of migration will remain mysterious

D．interest in anew methodof accounting for over-water migration



81．Of the following descriptions of migrating animals, which most strongly suggests that the animals are dependingon magnetic cuesto orient themselves?


A． Pigeons can properly read just their course even when flying long distances through exceedingly densefogs．

B． Bison are able to reach their destination by passing through a landscape that has been partially altered bya recentfire．

C．Elephants are ableto find grounds that some members of the herdhave never seen before．

D．Swallows are ableto return to a given spot at the same time every year．




Passage 5
Some modern anthropologists hold that biological evolution has shaped not only human morphology but also human behavior. The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints-ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that “come naturally” in archetypal situations in any culture. Our “frailties” -emotions and motives such as rage, fear,greed, gluttony, joy, lust, love-may be a very mixed assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them. And thus they give us oursense ofconstraints．
Unhappily, some of those frailties-our need for ever-increasing security among them-are presently maladaptive. Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, they, too, are said to be biological in direction, and therefore as natural to us as are out appendixes. We would need to comprehend thoroughly their adaptive origins in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might thenbegin to resist their pressure．
82．Theprimary purposeof the passage is to present______．
A．a position onthe foundations of human behavior andonwhat those foundations imply

B．a theory outlining theparallel development of human morphology andof human behavior


C． a diagnostic test for separating biologically determined behavior patterns from culture-specific detail
D．a practical methodfor resisting thepressures ofbiologically determined drives
83． The author implies that control to any extent over the “frailties” that constrain our behavior is thought to presuppose______．
A． a thorough grasp of the principle that cultural detail in human behavior can differ arbitrarily from society to society
B．thatthose frailties are recognized as currently beneficial andadaptive

C．thatthere is little or nooverlay of cultural detail that masks their true nature

D．a full understanding of whythose frailties evolved andof howthey functionnow


84． Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the “details” versus “constraints” distinction made in the passage in relation to human behavior?
A．The psychological profile of those people who are able to delay gratification as against people's inability to control their lives completely．

B．The ability of some people to dive to great depths as against most people's inability to swim longdistances．

C．The greater lung capacity of mountain peoples that helps them live in oxygen-poor air as against people's inability to fly without special apparatus．

D．The ability of most people to see all colors of the visible spectrum as against most people's inability to name any butthe primary colors．


85． It can be inferred that in his discussion of maladaptive frailties the author assumes that______．
A．evolution does not favor the emergence of adaptive characteristics over the emergence of maladaptive ones

B． the designation of a characteristic as being maladaptive must always remain highly tentative

C．changes in the total human environment can outpaceevolutionary change

D．any structure or behavior not positively adaptive is regarded as transitory in evolutionary theory
