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.

9. 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

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.      

                                                                                                                                                         撰寫人：王麗娜
