4题:Hydrothermal vents along the mid-ocean ridges host ephemeral ecosystems of diverse fauna, including several crustacean species, some of which undergo development as larvae up to 1,000 meters above and 100 kilometers away from the vents. For example, vent crabBythograea thermydron (at stage of larvae) possess image-forming compound eyes with a visual pigment sensitive to the blue light of upper oceanic waters.As these larvae metamorphose into adulthood and begin to descend to and settle at the vents, they lose their imageforming optics and develop highsensitivity naked-retina eyes. With maturation,the spectral absorbance of the visual pigment in these eyes also shifts towards longer wavelengths and this progressive visual metamorphosis trades imaging for increased sensitivity, and changes spectral sensitivity to the dim, longer wavelengths of light existing at the bottom of the ocean.As hydrothermal vents produce light, vision may supplement thermal and chemical senses to orient post-larval settlement at vent sites.It may be inferred from the passage that the larval environment which surrounds the vent crabBythograea thermydron differs from its adult environment in that it________.
A、contains more thermal vents than the adult environment
B.receives more of its light from the sun than from hydrothermal vents
C.lacks the longer and dimmer wavelengths of light found in the adult environment
D.can be survived only by creatures equipped with image-forming optics
E.has a tendency to induce metamorphoses in the creatures that occupy it

5题:Directions: The next questions are based on the content of the following passage. Read the passage and then determine the best answer choice for each question.Base your choice on what this passage states directly or implies, not on any information you may have gained elsewhere.
For each of Questions, select one answer choice unless otherwise instructeD、
Questions are based on the following passage.
With Meredith’s TheEgoist we enter into a
critical problem that we have not yet before
faced in these studies. That is the problem
Line offered by a writer of recognizably impressive
(5) stature, whose work is informed by a muscu-
lar intelligence, whose language has splendor,
whose "view of life" wins our respect, and
yet for whom we are at best able to feel only
a passive appreciation which amounts, prac-
(10) tically, to indifference. We should be unjust
to Meredith and to criticism if we should,
giving in to the inertia of indifference, sim-
ply avoid dealing with him and thus avoid
the problem along with him. He does not
(15) "speak to us," we might say; his meaning is
not a "meaning for us"; he "leaves us colD、"
But do not the challenge and the excitement
of the critical problem as such lie in that
ambivalence of attitude which allows us to
(20) recognize the intelligence and even the
splendor of Meredith’s work, while, at the
same time, we experience a lack of sympathy,
a failure of any enthusiasm of response
It can be inferred from the passage that the author finds the prospect of appraising Meredith’s work critically to be
A、counterproductive
B、overly formidable
C、somewhat tolerable
D、markedly unpalatable
E、clearly invigorating
