1，第15行的两个 they 指代什么？

they 指的是 primary institutions

2，"primary institutions" 和 "secondary institutions" 是什么关系？

primary institutions 是基本人员，也就是和 individual 关系很近的人，可以讲是个媒人；而secondary institutions 就是“二类人士”，他是第三者。

打个比喻：你要和secondary institutions 做生意，通过primary institutions给你中介

institutions  [俚]知名人士; 特殊人物

再问你一道题：OG11里 第2篇 第11题（og10--37--234）

234. The researchers’ conclusion concerning the absence of demographic bias would be most

seriously undermined if it were found that

(A)    the older as individual carnivore is, the more likely it is to have a large number of tooth fratures

(B)    the average age at death of a present-day carnivores is greater than was the average age at death of a Pleistocene carnivore

(C)    in Pleistocene carnivore species, older individuals consumed carcasses as thoroughly as idd younger individuals

(D)    the methods used to determine animals’ ages in fossile samples tend to misidentify many older individuals as younger individuals
            (D)

(E)    data concerning the ages of fossil samples cannot provide reliable information about behavioral differences between extinct carnivores and present-day carnivores

我就是不明白，尤其是看了下面的解释

Begin by looking at the section on demographic bias. Lines 11-13 state that demographic bias has been ruled out as an explanation because older individuals were not overrepresented in the fossil samples. This implies that older carnivores would be expected to have more tooth fractures than younger ones. To answer this question, read
                each answer choice to find the one statement that undermines the researchers' conclusion. If the method to determine age in the fossil samples is faulty and older carnivores are misidentified as younger ones, then demographic bias cannot be dismissed.

A     This statement supports rather than

undermines the researchers^' conclusion.

B     This comparison between present-day and

Pleistocene carnivores has no bearing on

whether older Pleistocene individuals were

overrepresented or not.

C     The comparison between older and younger individuals is irrelevant to the researchers^' conclusion.

D     Correct. If older individuals have been misidentified as younger ones, then a higher
                proportion of older individuals undermines the researchers^' conclusion.

E     Neither the differences nor the data are relevant to the researchers^' conclusion about the proportion of older Pleistocene carnivores.

标红的这句话尤其不懂，从文中如何imply呢？

好吧,到时候再研究.

你现在在做XDF的新版蓝皮书吗?

你在上新东方课吗?

看了你的讲解并经过仔细研究，终于长长的舒了口气！

BUT(强转折)，如果在考试现场，哪容我这样研究呢？（提出问题，问题解决型）

今天十分郁闷，（一个现象：奇怪的现象）

我已经做完了og11和大部分XDF教材的题，也作了适当总结，为什么正确率还不高，有时一篇错3道

时间还降不下来，阅读怎么这么难提高啊！
