1.Which of following most logically completes the argument? The last members of a now-extinct species of a European wild deer called the giant dear lived in Ireland about 16,000 years ago. rehistoric cave paintings in France depict this animal as having a large hump on its back.

2.
Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Concerned about financial well-being of its elderly citizens, the government of Runagia decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension paid to all Runagians over 65. Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible, and the increase has been duly received by all eligible Runagians. Nevertheless, many of them are no better off financially than they were before the increase, in large part because ________. A. They rely entirely on the government pension for their income
B. Runagian banks are so inefficient that it can take up to three weeks to cash a pension check
C. They buy goods whose prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation
D. The pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below the poverty level reached an all-time high
E. In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parents, but only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living
1.C 2.E C is not right: the conclusion is about the status change when inflation is negligible , so what will happen in times of inflation is irrelevant.
2. 选E C, 不对, 因为无论price是否rise fast in times of inflation, 政府给多给pension, 总还是比少给的要好, 所以还是better-off E, 子女一般都会供养父母, enough to provid them with a comfortable living, 以前政府pension少, 对于elder而言, 是comfortable living, 因为子女会给钱多 现在政府pension多, 对于elder而言, 还是comfortable living, 因为子女给钱相应就少, 总之达到comfortable living就ok, 所以是没区别. 例如: comfortable living的标准是100/月, 以前政府出20, 子女就出80, 保证elder能comfortable 现在政府出70, 子女之需要出30, 还是保证elder能comfortable,
