范文解析:
Questions 6-9 are based on the following passages.
Passage 1
The eighteenth-century botanist Carolus Linnaeus'
enormous and essential contribution to natural history
was to devise a system of classification whereby any
plant or animal could be identified and slotted into
Line 5 an overall plan. Yet Linnaeus himself would probably
have been the first to admit that classification is only
a tool, and not the ultimate purpose, of biological
inquiry. Unfortunately, this truth was not apparent
to his immediate successors, who for the next hundred
Line10 years were to concern themselves almost exclusively
with classification.
Passage 2
I am a heretic about Linnaeus. I do not dispute the
value of the tool he gave natural science, but I am wary
about the change it has effected on humans' relationship
Line15 to the world. From Linnaeus on, much of science has
been devoted to sorting masses into individual entities
and arranging the entities neatly. The cost of having so
successfully itemized and pigeonholed nature is to limit
certain possibilities of seeing and apprehending. For
Line20 example, the modem human thinks that he or she can
best understand a tree (or a species of tree) by examining
a single tree. But trees are not intended to g~ow in isolation.
They are social creatures, and their society in turn supports
other species of plants, insects, birds, mammals, and micro-
Line25 organisms, all of which make up the whole experience of
the woods.
6. Compared to the author of Passage 2, the author of Passage 1 regards
Linnaeus with more
(A) cynicism
(B) bafflement
(C) appreciation
(D) nostalgia
(E) resentment
ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Choice (C) is correct.
While the author of Passage 2 is critical of Linnaeus’ legacy,
the author of Passage 1 expresses appreciation of his contribution to natural history,
describing it as "enormous and essential."
7. Unlike the author of Passage 1, the author of Passage 2 makes use of
(A) scientific data
(B) literary allusion
(C) historical research
(D) personal voice
(E) direct citation
ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Choice (D) is correct. Unlike Passage 1, Passage 2 uses a first-person narrative voice that openly expresses
the author’s "wariness" regarding Linnaeus' contribution to natural science.
8. Both passages emphasize which of the following aspects of Linnaeus' work?
(A) The extent to which it contributed to natural science
(B) The way in which it limits present-day science
(C) The degree to which it revived interest in biology
(D) The decisiveness with which it settled scientific disputes
(E) The kinds of scientific discoveries on which it built
ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Choice (A) is correct.
Although the two authors judge Linnaeus’ work differently,
they agree that his classificatory system has had a great influence on the field of natural science.
The author of Passage 1 would most likely respond to the opening of
Passage 2 (lines 12-17) by arguing that the author of Passage 2 has
(A) demonstrated that Linnaeus should be better known as a scientist than he
currently is
(B) minimized the achievements of those scientists who built on Linnaeus' work
(C) refused to appreciate the importance of proper classification to scientific
progress
(D) failed to distinguish the ideas of Linnaeus from those of his followers
9
ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
Choice (D) is correct. The author of Passage 1 argues that unlike his followers,
Linnaeus probably saw his system of classification as a tool, not the goal,
of science. The author of Passage 2 does not make this distinction.
