2、ns, reduce dolphins resistance to infection. The only source of these compounds in the dolphins environment is boat paint. Therefore, since dolphins rid their bodies of the compounds rapidly once exposure ceases, their mortality rate should decline rapidly if such boat paints are banned.1. Which of
3、the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?A. The levels of the compounds typically used in boat paints today are lower than they were in boat paints manufactured a decade ago.B. In high concentrations, the compounds are toxic to many types of marine animals.C. The compounds break down in
4、to harmless substances after a few months of exposure to water or air.D. High tissue levels of the compounds have recently been found in some marine animals, but there is no record of any of those animals dying in unusually large numbers recently.E. The compounds do not leach out of the boat paint i
5、f the paint is applied exactly in accordance with the manufacturers directions.GRE阅读真题之OG2 Passage 32OG-2Passage 32The work of English writer Aphra Behn (16401689) changed markedly during the 1680s, as she turned from writing plays to writing prose narratives. According to literary critic Rachel Car
6、nell, most scholars view this change as primarily motivated by financial considerations: earning a living by writing for the theatre became more difficult in the 1680s, so Behn tried various other types of prose genres in the hope of finding another lucrative medium. In fact, a long epistolary scand
7、al novel that she wrote in the mid-1680s sold quite well. Yet, as Carnell notes, Behn did not repeat this approach in her other prose works; instead, she turned to writing shorter, more serious novels, even though only about half of these were published during her lifetime. Carnell argues that Behn,
8、 whose stage productions are primarily comedies, may have turned to an emerging literary form, the novel, in a conscious attempt to criticize, and subvert for her own ends, the conventions and ideology of a well-established form of her day, the dramatic tragedy.Carnell acknowledges that Behn admired
9、 the skill of such contemporary writers of dramatic tragedy as John Dryden, and that Behns own comic stage productions displayed the same partisanship for the reigning Stuart monarchy that characterized most of the politically oriented dramatic tragedies of her day. However, Carnell argues that Behn
10、 took issue with the way in which these writers and plays defined the nature of tragedy. As prescribed by Dryden, tragedy was supposed to concern a heroic man who is a public figure and who undergoes a fall that evokes pity from the audience. Carnell points out that Behns tragic novels focus instead
11、 on the plight of little-known women and the private world of the household; even in her few novels featuring male protagonists, Behn insists on the importance of the crimes these otherwise heroic figures commit in the domestic sphere. Moreover, according to Carnell, Behn questioned the view promulg
12、ated by monarchist dramatic tragedies such as Drydens: that the envisioned “public” political idealpassive obedience to the nations kingought to be mirrored in the private sphere, with family members wholly obedient to a male head of household. Carnell sees Behns novels not only as rejecting the mod
13、el of patriarchal and hierarchical family order, but also as warning that insisting on such a parallel can result in real tragedy befalling the members of the domestic sphere. According to Carnell, Behns choice of literary form underscores the differences between her own approach to crafting a tragi
14、c story and that taken in the dramatic tragedies, with their artificial distinction between the public and private spheres. Behns novels engage in the political dialogue of her era by demonstrating that the good of the nation ultimately encompasses more than the good of the public figures who rule i
15、t.1. The passage is primarily concerned withA. tracing how Behns view of the nature of tragedy changed over timeB. explaining one authors view of Behns contribution to the development of an emerging literary formC. differentiating between the early and the late literary works of BehnD. contrasting t
16、he approaches to tragedy taken by Behn and by DrydenE. presenting one scholars explanation for a major development in Behns literary career2. The passage suggests that Carnell sees Behns novels featuring male protagonists as differing from dramatic tragedies such as Drydens featuring male protagonis
17、ts in that the formerA. depict these characters as less than heroic in their public actionsB. emphasize the consequences of these characters actions in the private sphereC. insist on a parallel between the public and the private spheresD. are aimed at a predominantly female audienceE. depict family
18、members who disobey these protagonists3. The passage suggests that Carnell believes Behn held which of the following attitudes about the relationship between the private and public spheres?A. The private sphere is more appropriate than is the public sphere as the setting for plays about political ev
19、ents.B. The structure of the private sphere should not replicate the hierarchical order of the public sphere.C. Actions in the private sphere are more fundamental to ensuring the good of the nation than are actions in the public sphere.D. Crimes committed in the private sphere are likely to cause tr
20、agedy in the public sphere rather than vice versa.E. The private sphere is the mirror in which issues affecting the public sphere can most clearly be seen.4. It can be inferred from the passage that the “artificial distinction” (line 53-54) refers to theA. practice utilized in dramatic tragedies of
21、providing different structural models for the public and the private spheresB. ideology of many dramatic tragedies that advocate passive obedience only in the private sphere and not in the public sphereC. convention that drama ought to concern events in the public sphere and that novels ought to con
