Multiple definitions, each subtly different from all the others, convey multiple shades of meaning. They expand the uses of the word; language is
2、enriched, thought is widened, and interpretations increase or dilate to fill the potentialities of association. The very impossibility of absoluteness in the definition of certain nouns adds to the levels of connotation they may reach. The inner life of a writer often says more than most readers can
3、 know; the mind of a reader can discover truths that go beyond the intent or perhaps even the comprehension of the writer. And all of it finds expression because a word can mean many things.1. In the context in which it appears, “shades” (line 2) most nearly meansA. remindersB. nuancesC. obscurities
4、D. coveringsE. degrees2. The passage suggests that a writers use of nouns that have multiple definitions can have which of the following effects on the relationship between writer and reader?A. It can encourage the reader to consider how the writers life might have influenced the work.B. It can caus
5、e the reader to become frustrated with the writers failure to distinguish between subtle shades of meaning.C. It can allow the reader to discern in a work certain meanings that the writer did not foresee.D. It allows the writer to provide the reader with clues beyond the word itself in order to avoi
6、d ambiguity.E. It allows the writer to present unfamiliar ideas to the reader more efficiently.GRE阅读真题之OG2OG-2Passage 7Until recently, many anthropologists assumed that the environment of what is now the southwestern United States shaped the social history and culture of the regions indigenous peopl
7、es. Building on this assumption, archaeologists asserted that adverse environmental conditions and droughts were responsible for the disappearances and migrations of southwestern populations from many sites they once inhabited.However, such deterministic arguments fail to acknowledge that local envi
8、ronmental variability in the Southwest makes generalizing about that environment difficult. To examine the relationship between environmental variation and sociocultural change in the Western Pueblo region of central Arizona, which indigenous tribes have occupied continuously for at least 800 years,
9、 a research team recently reconstructed the climatic, vegetational, and erosional cycles of past centuries. The researchers found it impossible to provide a single, generally applicable characterization of environmental conditions for the region. Rather, they found that local areas experienced diffe
10、rent patterns of rainfall, wind, and erosion, and that such conditions had prevailed in the Southwest for the last 1,400 years. Rainfall, for example, varied within and between local valley systems, so that even adjacent agricultural fields can produce significantly different yields.The researchers
11、characterized episodes of variation in southwestern environments by frequency: low-frequency environmental processes occur in cycles longer than one human generation, which generally is considered to last about 25 years, and high-frequency processes have shorter cycles. The researchers pointed out t
12、hat low-frequency processes, such as fluctuations in stream flow and groundwater levels, would not usually be apparent to human populations. In contrast, high-frequency fluctuations such as seasonal temperature variations are observable and somewhat predictable, so that groups could have adapted the
13、ir behaviors accordingly. When the researchers compared sequences of sociocultural change in the Western Pueblo region with episodes of low- and high-frequency environmental variation, however, they found no simple correlation between environmental process and sociocultural change or persistence.Alt
14、hough early Pueblo peoples did protect themselves against environmental risk and uncertainty, they responded variously on different occasions to similar patterns of high-frequency climatic and environmental change. The researchers identified seven major adaptive responses, including increased mobili
15、ty, relocation of permanent settlements, changes in subsistence foods, and reliance on trade with other groups. These findings suggest that groups adaptive choices depended on cultural and social as well as environmental factors and were flexible strategies rather than uncomplicated reactions to env
16、ironmental change. Environmental conditions mattered, but they were rarely, if ever, sufficient to account for sociocultural persistence and change. Group size and composition, culture, contact with other groups, and individual choices and actions were barring catastrophes such as floods or earthqua
17、kes more significant for a populations survival than were climate and environment.1. The passage is primarily concerned withA. explaining why certain research findings have created controversyB. pointing out the flaws in a research methodology and suggesting a different approachC. presenting evidenc
18、e to challenge an explanation and offering an alternative explanationD. elucidating the means by which certain groups have adapted to their environmentE. defending a long-held interpretation by presenting new research findings2. Which of the following findings would most strongly support the asserti
19、on made by the archaeologists mentioned in line 3?A. A population remained in a certain region at least a century after erosion wore away much of the topsoil that sustained grass for their grazing animals.B. The range of a certain groups agricultural activity increased over a century of gradual decr
