It is possible for students to obtain advanced degrees in　　English while knowing little or nothing about traditional
　　scholarly methods. The consequences of this neglect of
　　traditional scholarship are particularly unfortunate for the
　　（5） study of women writers. If the canon-the list of authors
　　whose works are most widely taught-is ever to include
　　more women， scholars must be well trained in historical
　　scholarship and textual editing. Scholars who do not know
　　how to read early manuscripts， locate rare books， establish
　　（10）a sequence of editions， and so on are bereft of crucial tools
　　for revising the canon.
　　To address such concerns， an experimental version of
　　the traditional scholarly methods course was designed to
　　raise students' consciousness about the usefulness of
　　（15）traditional learning for any modern critic or theorist. To
　　minimize the artificial aspects of the conventional course，
　　the usual procedure of assigning a large number of small
　　problems drawn from the entire range of historical periods
　　was abandoned， though this procedure has the obvious
　　（20）advantage of at least superficially familiarizing students
　　with a wide range of reference sources. Instead students
　　were engaged in a collective effort to do original work on
　　a neglected eighteenth-century writer， Elizabeth Griffith， to
　　give them an authentic experience of literary scholarship
　　（25）and to inspire them to take responsibility for the quality of
　　their own work.
　　Griffith's work presented a number of advantages for
　　this particular pedagogical purpose. First， the body of
　　extant scholarship on Griffith was so tiny that it could all
　　（30）be read in a day； thus students spent little time and effort
　　mastering the literature and had a clear field for their own
　　discoveries. Griffith's play The Platonic Wife exists in three
　　versions， enough to provide illustrations of editorial issues
　　but not too many for beginning students to manage. In addi-
　　（35）tion， because Griffith was successful in the eighteenth cen-
　　tury， as her continued productivity and favorable reviews
　　demonstrate， her exclusion from the canon and virtual dis-
　　appearance from literary history also helped raise issues
　　concerning the current canon.
　　（40） The range of Griffith's work meant that each student
　　could become the world's leading authority on a particular
　　Griffith text. For example， a student studying Griffith's
　　Wife in the Right obtained a first edition of the play and
　　studied it for some weeks. This student was suitably
　　（45）shocked and outraged to find its title transformed into A
　　Wife in the Night in Watt's Bibliotheca Britannica. Such
　　experiences， inevitable and common in working on a writer
　　to whom so little attention has been paid， serve to vaccinate
　　the student ——I hope for a lifetime-against credulous use
　　of reference sources.
　　17.The author of the passage is primarily concerned with
　　（A） revealing a commonly ignored deficiency
　　（B） proposing a return to traditional terminology
　　（C） describing an attempt to correct a shortcoming
　　（D） assessing the success of a new pedagogical
　　approach
　　（E） predicting a change in a traditional teaching
　　strategy

18.It can be inferred that the author of the passage expects　　that the experience of the student mentioned as having
　　studied Wife in the Right would have which of the fol-
　　lowing effects？
　　（A） It would lead the student to disregard information
　　found in the Bibliotheca Britannica.
　　（B） It would teach the student to question the accuracy
　　of certain kinds of information sources when
　　studying neglected authors.
　　（C） It would teach the student to avoid the use of refer-
　　ence sources in studying neglected authors.
　　（D） It would help the student to understand the impor-
　　tance of first editions in establishing the author-
　　ship of plays.
　　（E） It would enhance the student's appreciation of the
　　works of authors not included in the canon.
　　19. The author of the passage suggests that which of the
　　following is a disadvantage of the strategy employed in
　　the experimental scholarly methods course？
　　（A） Students were not given an opportunity to study
　　women writers outside the canon.
　　（B） Students' original work would not be appreciated
　　by recognized scholars.
　　（C） Little scholarly work has been done on the work
　　of Elizabeth Griffith.
　　（D） Most of the students in the course had had little
　　opportunity to study eighteenth-century literature.
　　（E） Students were not given an opportunity to encoun-
　　ter certain sources of information that could
　　prove useful in their future studies.
　　20. Which of the following best states the “particular
　　pedagogical purpose“ mentioned in line 28？
　　（A） To assist scholars in revising the canon of authors
　　（B） To minimize the trivial aspects of the traditional
　　scholarly methods course
　　（C） To provide students with information about
　　Griffith's work
　　（D） To encourage scholarly rigor in students' own
　　research
　　（E） To reestablish Griffith's reputation as an author
　　21. Which of the following best describes the function of
　　the last paragraph in relation to the passage as a
　　whole？
　　（A） It summarizes the benefits that students can derive
　　from the experimental scholarly methods course.
　　（B） It provides additional reasons why Griffith's work
　　raises issues having to do with the canon of
　　authors.
　　（C） It provides an illustration of the immediate nature
　　of the experiences students can derive from the
　　experimental scholarly methods course.
　　（D） It contrasts the experience of a student in the
　　experimental scholarly methods course with the
　　experience of a student in the traditional course
　　（E） It provides information that emphasizes the suita-
　　bility of Griffith's work for inclusion in the
　　canon of authors.

22. It can be inferred that which of the following is most　　likely to be among the “issues” mentioned in line 38？
　　（A） Why has the work of Griffith， a woman writer
　　who was popular in her own century， been
　　excluded from the canon？
　　（B） In what ways did Griffith's work reflect the polit-
　　ical climate of the eighteenth century？
　　（C） How was Griffith's work received by literary
　　critics during the eighteenth century？
　　（D） How did the error in the title of Griffith's play
　　come to be made？
　　（E） How did critical reception of Griffith's work
　　affect the quantity and quality of that work？
　　23. It can be inferred that the author of the passage con-
　　siders traditional scholarly methods courses to be
　　（A） irrelevant to the work of most students
　　（B） inconsequential because of their narrow focus
　　（C） unconcerned about the accuracy of reference
　　sources
　　（D） too superficial to establish important facts about
　　authors
　　（E） too wide-ranging to approximate genuine scholarly
　　activity
　　Experiments show that insects can function as pollinators
　　of cycads， rare， palmlike tropical plants. Furthermore， cycads
　　removed from their native habitats-and therefore from
　　insects native to those habitats-are usually infertile. Nev-
　　（5） ertheless， anecdotal reports of wind pollination in cycads
　　cannot be ignored. The structure of cycads male cones is
　　quite consistent with the wind dispersal of pollen， clouds
　　of which are released from some of the larger cones. The
　　male cone of Cycas circinalis， for example， sheds almost
　　（10）100 cubic centimeters of pollen， most of which is probably
　　dispersed by wind. Still， many male cycad cones are com-
　　paratively small and thus produce far less pollen. Further-
　　more， the structure of most female cycad cones seems incon-
　　sistent with direct pollination by wind. Only in the Cycas
　　（15）genus are the females' ovules accessible to airborne pollen，
　　since only in this genus are the ovules surrounded by a
　　loose aggregation of megasporophylls rather than by a tight
　　cone.
　　24.According to the passage， the size of a male cycad
　　cone directly influences which of the following？
　　（A） The arrangement of the male cone's structural
　　elements
　　（B） The mechanism by which pollen is released from
　　the male cone.
　　（C） The degree to which the ovules of female cycads
　　are accessible to airborne pollen
　　（D） The male cone's attractiveness to potential insect
　　pollinators
　　（E） The amount of pollen produced by the male cone

路由器 - 2008-6-16 11:58:00

25. The passage suggests that which of the following is　　true of the structure of cycad cones？
　　（A） The structure of cycad cones provides conclusive
　　evidence in favor of one particular explanation
　　of cycad pollination.
　　（B） The structure of cycad cones provides evidence
　　concerning what triggers the first step in the
　　pollination process.
　　（C） An irresolvable discrepancy exists between what
　　the structure of most male cycad cones suggests
　　about cycad pollination and what the structure of
　　most female cones suggests about that process.
　　（D） The structure of male cycad cones rules out a
　　possible mechanism for cycad pollination that is
　　suggested by the structure of most female cycad
　　cones.
　　（E） The structure of male cycad cones is consistent
　　with a certain means of cycad pollination， but
　　that means is inconsistent with the structure of
　　most female cycad cones.
　　26. The evidence in favor of insect pollination of cycads
　　presented in lines 2-4 would be more convincing if
　　which of the following were also true？
　　（A） Only a small variety of cycad species can be
　　successfully transplanted.
　　（B） Cycads can sometimes be pollinated by means
　　other than wind or insects.
　　（C） Insects indigenous to regions to which cycads are
　　transplanted sometimes feed on cycads.
　　（D） Winds in the areas to which cycads are usually
　　transplanted are similar to winds in cycads'
　　native habitats.
　　（E） The transplantation of cycads from one region to
　　another usually involves the accidental removal
　　and introduction of insects as well.
　　27. The passage suggests that which of the following is
　　true of scientific investigations of cycad pollination？
　　（A） They have not yet produced any systematic evi-
　　dence of wind pollination in cycads.
　　（B） They have so far confirmed anecdotal reports con-
　　cerning the wind pollination of cycads.
　　（C） They have， until recently， produced little evidence
　　in favor of insect pollination in cycads.
　　（D） They have primarily been carried out using cycads
　　transplanted from their native habitats.
　　（E） They have usually concentrated on describing the
　　physical characteristics of the cycad reproductive
　　system.
　　28. PROCRASTINATION：
　　（A） diligence
　　（B） complacence
　　（C） reasonableness
　　（D） allegiance
　　（E） rehabilitation
　　29. CIRCUITY
　　（A） straightforwardness
　　（B） inventiveness
