As long as the birds could see the Sun,no matter how their surroundings were altered, th

On overcast days, however, thebirds were disoriented and had trouble locating their food box.Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 4 aboutK
5、ramers reason for filling one food box and leaving the rest empty?A He believed the birds would eat food from only one box.B He wanted to see whether the Sun alone controlled the birdsability to navigate toward the box with food.C He thought that if all the boxes contained food, this woulddistract t
6、he birds from following their migratory route.D He needed to test whether the birds preferred having the food atany particular point of the compass.首先,我们来明确一下推断的定义(infer, imply, indicate),纵使它是推断题,也不是意味着这题是主观臆断,臆想或是联想得出的。这道题也是要通过提取题干中的关键词到*中的明确位置,然后文中没有平铺直叙地告诉你答案,需要我们根据一些线索找到答案。接下来我们来看一下这道题,题干中出现Kram
7、er, filling one food box andleaving the rest empty定位在第四段第一句:with food in only one of the boxes,而解开这道题的重点就在于:reason。我们看到第一句话一开始说到,so, in another set of experiments,很明显,答案并不在这一段,而是上一段的最后。所以答案是B。托福阅读100个长难句精选汇总深度解析:A fertile plowed field.托福阅读100个长难句实例分析原句案例:A fertile, plowed field is rapidly invaded by

What causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish. The exact causes o
14、f a species death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt. Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a speci
15、es requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasio
16、ns many species became extinct at the same time a mass extinction. One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, when appr
17、oximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen conten
18、t of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction.One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years. This periodic exti
19、nction might be due to intersection of the Earths orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative. Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason. A species surv
20、ival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt. If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events.1.

29、aw in the American colonies made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as publishers. Although they rarely undertook major publishing project because it was difficult to sell books as cheaply as they could be imported from Europe, printers in Philadelphia did publish work that requir
30、ed only small amounts of capital, paper, and type. Broadsides could be published with minimal financial risk. Consisting of only one sheet of paper and requiring small amounts of type, broadsides involved lower investments of capital than longer works. Furthermore, the broadside format lent itself t
31、o subjects of high, if temporary, interest, enabling them to meet with ready sale. If the broadside printer miscalculated, however, and produced a sheet that did not sell, it was not likely to be a major loss, and the printer would know this immediately, There would be no agonizing wait with large a

34、d not require fine paper or a great deal of type to produce they could thus be printed in large, cost-effective editions and sold cheaply.By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that had proven to be steady sellers, providing a reasonably reliable source of
35、income for the publisher. They would not, by nature, be highly topical or political, as such publications would prove of fleeting interest. Almanacs, annual publications that contained information on astronomy and weather patterns arranged according to the days, week, and months of a given year, pro
36、vided the perfect steady seller because their information pertained to the locale in which they would be used.1.
