1. Lyrne disease is caused by a bacterium transmitted to humans by deer ticks. Generally, deer ticks pick up the bacterium while in the larval stage by feeding on infected white footed mice. However, certain other species on which the larvae feed do not harbor the bacterium. If the population of these other species were increased, more of the larvae would be feeding on uninfected hosts, so the number of ticks acquiring the bacterium would likely decline.

A. Whether populations of the other species on which deer tick larvae feed are found also inhabited by white footed mice.

B. Whether the size of the deer tick population is currently limited by the availability of animals for the tick’s larval stage to feed on.

C. Whether the infected deer tick population could be controlled by increasing the number of animals that prey on white-footed mice

D. Whether deer ticks were not infected as larvae can become infected as adults by feeding on deer on which infected deer ticks have fed

E. Whether the other species on which deer tick larvae feed harbor any other bacteria transmit to humans

答案不是D

2.
Every fall Croton’s jays migrate south. The jays always join flocks of migrating crookbeaks with which they share the same summer and winter territories. If a jay becomes separated from the crookbeaks it is accompanying, it wanders until it comes across another flock of crookbeaks. Clearly, therefore, Croton’s jays lack the navigational ability to find their way south on their own.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?

A. Croton’s jays lay their eggs in the nests of the crookbeaks, which breed upon completing their southern migration

B. The three species most closely related to crookbeaks do not migrate at all.

C. In the spring, Croton’s jays migrate north in the company of Tattersall warblers.

D. Species other than Croton’s jays occasionally accompany flocks of migrating crookbeaks.

E. In the spring, crookbeaks migrate north before Croton’s jays do.

答案不是D
