Questions 19-20 are based on the following passage. A recent assessment of the status of global amphibian populations identified habitat loss as the single greatest identifiable factorLine contributing to amphibian declines. Habitat (5) loss primarily results from the residential, agricultural, arboricultural, or recreational development of an area. Anthropogenic conversion of land has caused significant reductions in the wetland, (10) forest, and grassland habitat that amphibians require for their survival. Outright habitat loss probably has the greatest effect on amphibians, but habitat degradation, or the general decline in the health of a habitat, (15) often results from environmental contamina- tion, the introduction of exotic invasive species, or a reduction in required resources within a habitat, and similarly affects amphibians. Likewise, habitat fragmentation (20) (the disruption or fragmentation of habitat into discontinuous or isolated remnants of viable habitat) emerges from isolated patches of habitat loss and can often have delayed effects on animal populations. Directions: For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply. Which of the following statements about habitat loss is supported by the passage
A. The role of habitat loss in the decline of global amphibian populations is the subject of current evaluation.
B. Outright habitat loss causes less damage to amphibian populations than either habitat degradation or habitat fragmentation.
C. Introducing non-native species to an area may prove detrimental to the native animal populations.

Directions: The passage below is followed by questions based on its content. Once you have read the passage, select the answer choice that best answers each question. Answer all questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. For each of Questions 17-20, select one answer choice unless otherwise instructed. Questions 17-18 are based on the following passage. The stability that had marked the Iroquois Confederacy’s generally pro-British position was shattered with the overthrow of James IILine in 1688, the colonial uprisings that followed (5) in Massachusetts, New York, and Maryland, and the commencement of King William’s War against Louis XIV of France. The increasing French threat to English hege- mony in the interior of North America was (10) signalized by French-led or French-inspired attacks on the Iroquois and on outlying colonial settlements in New York and New England. The high point of the Iroquois response was the spectacular raid of August (15) 5, 1689, in which the Iroquois virtually wiped out the French village of Lachine, just outside Montreal. A counter-raid by the French on the English village of Schenectady in March 1690 instilled an appropriate (20) measure of fear among the English and their Iroquois allies. The Iroquois position at the end of the war, which was formalized by treaties made during the summer of 1701 with the British (25) and the French, and which was maintained throughout most of the eighteenth century, was one of "aggressive neutrality" between the two competing European powers. Under the new system the Iroquois initiated a peace (30) policy toward the "far Indians," tightened their control over the nearby tribes, and induced both English and French to support their neutrality toward the European powers by appropriate gifts and concessions. With which of the following statements would the author be LEAST likely to agree
A. The Iroquois were able to respond effectively to French acts of aggression.
B. James Ⅱ’s removal from the throne preceded the outbreak of dissension among the colonies.
C. The French sought to undermine the generally positive relations between the Iroquois and the British.
D. Iroquois negotiations involved playing one side against the other.
E. The Iroquois ceased to receive trade concessions from the European powers early in the eighteenth century.

慢性疲劳综合征(CFS)这种疾病究竟属于生理方面还是属于心理方面尚未确定。病理学家做了如下实验:第一组患者被指定服用一种草药软膏,并告诉他们这种软膏是在试用过程中,其中30%的人在接受治疗的3个月内被治愈;第二组患者接受同样的草药软膏治疗,但告诉他们这种软膏已经过广泛的临床实验被证明是有效的,结果有85%的人在同样3个月内得到治愈。 图示方法是几何学课程的一种常用方法。这种方法使得这门课比较容易学,因为学生们得到了对几何概念的直观理解,这有助于培养他们处理抽象运算符号的能力。对代数概念进行图解相信会有同样的教学效果,虽然对数学的深刻理解从本质上说是抽象的而非想象的。 上述议论最不可能支持以下哪项判定
A. 通过图示获得直观理解,并不是数学理解的最后步骤。
B. 具有很强的处理抽象运算符号能力的人,不一定具有抽象的数学理解能力。
C. 几何学课程中的图示方法是一种有效的教学方法。
D. 培养处理抽象运算符号的能力是几何学课程的目标之一。
